EQUIPMENT

The current technology on Jorune (3495 PC) is about late TL 3 (most
places) or early TL 4 (in more civilized places such as Jasp or
Ardoth). At the time of colonization, Earth was early TL 9. The TL of
the lamorri is unknown, but at the time of their invasion of Jorune, TL
9 is a safe bet - and it has surely increased in the 5000 years since
then!

Most Earth-tec requires a human thumb-print in order to function.
Without this verification, most items simply will not activate. Only
pure-bred humans can do this (boccord and muadra have changed too far
away from humans for their fingerprints to work). Even so, it is not an
Advantage as such - firstly, because Earth-tec is so rare (and
restricted to persons of high status) and secondly, because there are
ways of modifying the print-scanner so that it will work anyway.

Metal is scarce on Jorune, so many weapons are made from other inferior
materials or metals. Wood, bone, obsidian or stone is often used as
substitutes. On the other hand, using Earth-tec alloys and
sophisticated armouring knowledge, weapons of high quality and strength
can be forged. See p. B74 for further notes on weapon quality. Example:
Edwain wants to buy a new sword. A good sword costs 300 gemules in
Ardoth. He could buy a cheap sword, costing only 120 gemules or he
could find a thivin armourer and buy a fine sword for 1200 gemules.

Most weapons on Jorune are cheap

Thivin swords are fine

Weapons made by armourers with access to Earth-tec materials or
knowledge are fine or very fine

Shantic blades range from a +1 to a +4 damage bonus and are hideously
expensive. None of them will break on a parry


Armour

Carapace. PD 3, DR 4, weight and price N/A

Crudge. PD 1, DR 2 (croid have DR 3), weight and price N/A

DA (Deflector Armour). PD 4, DR 15, 20 lbs, 20,000 gemules

E-rep (Energy Repulsor Armour). Offers only minimal protection against
blasters (PD 3, DR 0) and is useless versus normal swings and
projectiles. Requires a large power cell for operation that lasts for
25 attacks. PD 6, DR 2, 4 lbs, 50,000 gemules

Leather armour. PD 2, DR 2, 20 lbs, 100 gemules

Locurian Grunder. There is a good chance (8 or less on 3D6) that a
wearer of this armour is unaffected by a particular orb or bolt. PD 3,
DR 5, 70 lbs, 15,000 gemules

Mail armour. PD 3, DR 4 (PD 1 and DR 2 vs. impaling weapons and
dyshas), 45 lbs, 1000 gemules

MAS (Mobile Active Suit). Increase ST and Speed by 5 while the suit is
worn. Dexterity is decreased by 2. The suit requires two power cells.
The suit can be active for 10 hours before recharging is needed. PD 6,
DR 20, 50 lbs, 250,000 gemules

Thailiarian armour. PD 4, DR 8, 80 lbs, 35,000 gemules
