EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTIONS

Bo Staff............................................4
A man-tall bamboo staff used in martial arts disciplines. If used as
primitive scuba gear, it gives a bonus of +1 to Breath Control. Light damage.
Bokken (Wooden Sword)............................................5
Hardwood katana replica used in practice. Though less dangerous, it
still packs a wallop. When used 2-handed by an Ambidextrous character,
it adds +1 to damage. Serious damage.
Busento (Broadhead Spear)............................................7
Spear with a broad, flat, leaf-like head. It may be used as a shovel.
Critical damage.
Gunsen (War Fan)............................................2
Fan specially made of hardwood and added metal blades to provide cutting
and blunt power. It may be poisoned by a character with the Poisons Skill.
Very Light damage.
Kusarigama (Axe and Chain)............................................6
Length of chain with a sickle blade attached to one end. It may be
used to entangle a weapon. Serious damage.
Sai (Swordcatcher)............................................4
Small, forked disarming baton with a stabbing point. It may be used
to parry (using Martial Arts Weapons Skill) and then (on another roll)
break a parried blade. Light damage.
Shuriken (12)............................................2
Throwing star with a varying number of blades. They may be coated with
poison by a character with the Poisons Skill. Very Light damage.
Three-Section Staff............................................5
Triple nunchaku with thinner and longer sticks. May be used to entangle
weapons. Light damage.
Tonfa............................................3
Short, L-shaped club, which can be used for blows, parries or blocks
(+1 to parry or block if 2 Tonfa are used). Light damage.
TL4
Nunchaku............................................4
Two short, heavy wooden sticks joined by a cord or chain. Delivers
tremendous clubbing power. Serious damage up to twice per turn (at -2 to
Martial Arts Weapons Skill for each blow if you choose to hit twice).
Ninjato (Ninja Sword)............................................5
Similar to the Katana, but a shorter, straight blade preferred by ninja.
The sheath may be used as a secret Blowpipe if you buy that piece of equipment
(TL0). Serious damage.
Nekode (Cat Claws)............................................3
A pair of edged gloves. If you hit an opponent with Martial Arts Skill,
you automatically get to also make a Martial Arts Weapons roll (the opponent
uses the same Dodge just rolled) to cause extra damage with this weapon.
Light damage.
Manriki-Gusari (9-Section Chain)............................................6
Meaning "10,000 power", like a nunchaku with a longer chain which may
be used to entangle weapons. Critical damage.

case and opened with a fling of the wrist. +1 to Holdout roll. Critical

of your mouth at opponents. Poisons must be bought independently. Up to
two different poisons can be held in the reservoir. Can only be used by
a Player with the Poisons skill. Note that the user is not immune to poisons,
but won't take damage from spraying them.
Ripsnake............................................8
Cybernetic implant installed inside the mouth. Normally undetectable,
it extends out of the body to bite or sting. The victim gets no Dodge at
all if he or she was kissing or giving mouth to mouth to the user. Critical
damage.
Vibroblade............................................6
Looking like a ninjato, the blade vibrates several thousand times per
minute, though its movement is invisible, and you cannot tell it from a
normal blade without an Awareness roll. May be used 12 times before the
energy cell runs out. Critical damage.
TL9
Monomolecular Blade............................................10
Looking like a ninjato, the blade has a strand of monomolecular wire
stretched around its edge. It can thus cut through nearly any material.

nearly any material. Critical damage.
Monowire Garrote............................................8
A garrote equipped with monomolecular wire, it's been known to take
off victims' head (instead of strangling them). Critical damage.
TL10
Neurolash............................................9
A kind of electrical club, in addition to damage, the victim must roll
against his or her Willpower not to be knocked out from the pain for the
next turn. Critical damage.
Sonic Blade............................................35
Looking like a ninjato, this blade is actually coherent sound powerful
enough to liquify tissue or tear flesh off bones. It may not be used to
parry. On a damage roll of 6, if the victim is still alive, its eardrums
are nevertheless busted and it is deaf. May be used 10 times before the
energy cell runs out. Very Deadly damage.
Sonic Shuriken (6)............................................18
Appears to be a 3 cm plastic disc. When activated and thrown, it sprouts
6 blades of coherent sound (see Sonic Blade for effects). Each can only
be thrown once, it then loses power. Deadly damage.
