Equipment

This page covers equipment mechanics. It lists weapons, Eva upgrades, weapon upgrades and a field for P-Scale Equipment as well.

Eva Equipment is expensive and requires a great deal of scientific knowledge and research. Because of this, most Eva equipment, weapons included, are gated behind requiring you to research certain technologies and spending Surplus on the equipment to make it available.

• Most items have one or two prerequisite technologies. Once the technology is researched, the equipment can be purchased with Surplus.
• Surplus is spent to purchase a piece of equipment. In this regard, it actually entails pouring massive sums into creating a supply chain and infrastructure for it, so you only ever purchase a piece of equipment once. Purchasing a weapon or upgrade makes it available for all Evangelions.

Equipment Quality

Not all equipment is created equal. Some equipment is built to an exacting standard and thus performs at a superior level, whilst some equipment is hastily thrown together or riddled with flaws or age. This is known as 'Equipment Quality', and comes in three levels:

• Normal. The normal quality, with no modifications. Most equipment in Conspiracy will be at the Normal Quality.
• Superior. Improved, often both in look and function, Superior models of equipment lacks flaws or has other improvements over the base model.
• Poor. These items are notably worse in quality than is normal for their model, and is more prone to failure.

Weapons

Weapons are necessary for Nerv's mission to defeat the Angels. As powerful as the Evas are, they are made much stronger through wielding the weapons made for them. Each weapon is an engineering marvel- an attempt to scale up basic human weaponry for an entity forty metres tall. They are the pinnacle of human weapons engineering, the culmination of millennia of progress in the art of killing, and yet even they struggle with killing an Angel. Without them, however, doing such a feat is nearly impossible.

Weapons are divided into two types: Melee Weapons (swords, axes etc), which are designed for close quarters combat, and Ranged Weapons (guns, etc), which are designed to be used at a distance.

Selecting Weapons to bring to Battle
When you purchase a weapon with surplus, you're creating a supply chain for the Evangelion, but that doesn't necessarily mean the weapons will always be ready for combat. Most weapons are dismantled and stored when not in use, and when an Eva sortie is called, Nerv only has room to ready a few weapons for each Evangelion.

At the start of a Crisis, each Evangelion pilot submits their requested weapons. They can each request, from lightest to heaviest:

• One Upgrade, applied to any one requested weapon
• Two of the following: Pistols, Small melee weapons, Grenade sets, Missiles
• One Basic or One Handed melee weapon
• One Heavy, Stationary or Two Handed melee weapon

They can sacrifice a heavier slot to copy a lighter slot, so you can sacrifice your One Heavy etc slot to get an extra Basic, but not vice versa.

These requested weapons are not available in unlimited amounts; if a copy of a weapon is destroyed, it remains unavailable until the end of the next Downtime.

When deployed, Evangelions can only carry what they have room for: two hands and two wing docks built into the shoulders.

• Each wing dock can carry one of the following: an ammo clip; a small melee weapon; a pistol; a set of grenades; 1 missile.
• Each hand can carry any of the above, as well as a single one-handed melee weapon or basic weapon each. Handworn weapons don't take up hand slots. Or, you can spend both hands to carry a Heavy weapon.

Stationary weapons are too large to carry, and have to be set up on the battle in a fixed location. Because of this, they can't be requested for battles where Nerv's Interception resulted in an Off-Guard or Scramble. The pilot may choose where the weapon is deployed.

Weapons that the Eva does not carry can be requested from any supply cache or launch port. If the battle is taking place outside of the Nerv Base, then the Director must summon those items with Support Forces.

However, every Evangelion pilot has a 'Kit': a set of weapons they are assumed to have essentially unlimited access to. Kits are determined by their current Role, but every Eva counts the Pallet Rifle and Mk1 Progressive Knife as being part of their Kit.

Melee Weapons

Melee Weapons are used to attack enemies at close range, and thus include things like swords, axes, knives, shields, folding chairs, bats, hammers, staves, knuckledusters, so on and so forth.

The list below determines the weapon's base stats.

• Name: the name of the template design, designating its broad role.
• Class: the weapon's class, which for melee is 'Natural', 'One Handed' or 'Two Handed'. Denotes how many hands are needed to properly wield the weapon.
• Range: The distance the weapon's attacks reach. For melee weapons it's usually 1em. If a weapon is made to be thrown, it'll have two ranges, with the second range divided by a slash; this second range is the thrown range (eg: 1em/20em means 1em when wielded normally but 20em when thrown).
• Combo: How many DoS you need to Combo with this weapon.
• Damage: the amount of damage dealt and the type. All melee weapons add your MB to damage. All weapons have an element type, listed after their damage with a letter: I for Impact, R for Rending, E for Energy and V for Voltaic.
• Features: the Features the weapon starts with, which modify how they work. Consult the Feature List at the end of this section to see the effects.
• Technology: Which technology you must research to make this weapon buyable.
• Cost: how much Surplus you need to pay to purchase this weapon for the Evangelions.
• Notes: Any special notes to make about the weapon

Superior Melee Weapons reduce their Combo value by 1 and add +1 damage.
Poor Melee Weapons gain the 'Brittle' quality; if they already have it, then they are destroyed whenever their wielder outright fails a test with the weapon.

Melee Weapons can be divided into the following categories:

• Simple Weapons, which are very basic approaches to weaponry. Little more than scaled up versions of normal human weapons, they are at least a decent base for what is to come.
• Progressive Weapons, which use hypersonic vibrating blades to generate immense cutting power, capable of carving into flesh. Progressive, or 'Prog' Weapons, excel at damage.
• Voltaic Weapons, which use magnetism and power cells to produce electrified laser fields around themselves, delivering deep-tissue shocks against Angels. They are utility weapons based around weakening a target rather than killing them.
• Thermic Weapons, which generate intense heat and siphon it out of the air to produce unstable auras of heat and cold. They draw from local fires to breach AT Fields, and can be self-destructed to deal massive internal damage.

Rules for special melee weapons are below.

The ESV Shield
The ESV Shield ('Enchanted Shield of Virtue', Nerv is weird) consists of a massive shield, modelled off the heat shields used by space shuttles, reinforced with state-of-the-art thermal dispersion and ablative coatings. Wielding this shield takes two hands, but is large enough to let you parry ranged attacks and adds +1 AP to all of your areas (and does not change resistances). You can expend an action to 'set' the shield, giving you and any adjacent allies Full Cover until you move. Finally, the shield has a single ablative coating, which can be expended to negate all damage from a single attack.

The Sonic Guillotine
The Sonic Guillotine consists of two telescoping rods, each of which can fit in a wing dock. A rod can be embedded in a flat surface, or thrown up to 20em (where it automatically embeds and reorients itself), at which point it expands into a proper rod. If both rods are placed within 10em of each other, they activate a split-second resonating sonic field that ruptures anything between the two. The throwers then make a Group test, testing Melee (One Handed), opposed by the target's Dodge or Anticipate. If the attack succeeds, the target suffers a single attack dealing 10 Rending damage, ignoring AP and Unnatural Physique, but not ignoring AT Field. DoS is added/subtracted as normal. However, Sonic Guillotines convert all their wounds to Injuries. After being used, the Sonic Guillotine breaks.

Ranged Weapons

Ranged Weapons are used to attack enemies from afar, and thus include things like pistols, revolvers, grenade launchers, shotguns, assault rifles, so on and so forth.

Unlike melee weapons, Ranged weapons can attack from range, but they also have limited ammunition and can only be fired so many times before needing to be reloaded.

The list below determines the weapon's base stats.

• Name: the name of the template design, designating its broad role.
• Class: the weapon's class, which for Ranged is 'Pistol', 'Grenade', 'Basic', 'Heavy' and 'Superheavy'. Pistols can be stored in Wing Docks and fired with one hand; Grenades are thrown, using the Ranged (Pistol) or Melee (One Handed) skill; Basic Weapons can be fired one-handed, but suffer 2 disadvantages; and Heavy weapons have to be fired two handed, and as part of the "Heavy Weapon Attack" action. Superheavy weapons work just like Heavy weapons, but are installed before battle in a fixed location and can't be moved.
• Range: The distance the weapon's attacks reach. Ranged attacks can possess two special ranges: 'Zone' and 'Orbital'. Zone means they can hit targets in adjacent zones, and count anything in their own zone as being close range (although they still need line of sight and effect); Orbital means they can hit targets in orbit, assuming they have line of sight and effect.
• Combo: How many DoS you need to Combo with this weapon.
• Ammo: How many shots you can fire with this weapon before you need to reload. The number of actions it takes to reload is in parentheses after the ammo count, so a weapon with an Ammo profile of "6 (1)" can be fired six times before needing to reload, and reloading takes a single action. Some weapons load grenades or missiles as ammo, and so use the associated damage and features of those ammo along with the weapon's range and features. Grenades don't need reloading, as they are just thrown and then they're gone, nor do Missiles, so the 'Ammo' profile for them shows how many you can fit inside a Wing Dock at once.
• Damage: the amount of damage dealt and the type. All weapons have an element type, listed after their damage with a letter: I for Impact, R for Rending, E for Energy and V for Voltaic.
• Features: the Features the weapon starts with, which modify how they work. Consult the Feature List at the end of this section to see the effects.
• Technology: Which technology you must research to make this weapon buyable.
• Cost: how much Surplus you need to pay to purchase this weapon for the Evangelions.
• Notes: Any special notes to make about the weapon

Superior Ranged Weapons gain the Reliable quality; if they already have it, then they instead remove a single negative feature of your choice.
Poor Melee Weapons gain the 'Unreliable' quality; if they already have it, then they jam whenever their wielder outright fails a test with the weapon.

Ranged Weapons can be divided into the following categories:

• Standard Weapons, which are the initial ballistic arsenal of Nerv. Made up of mostly scaled up versions of human weaponry, or laser weapons, they are reliable and well-made, but struggle heavily at breaching an Angel's AT Field.
• Rail Weapons, which use electromagnetic drivers to propel shells at incredible speed. Rail weapons deal the most damage of any ranged weapon and ignore armour, but are not very flexible and slow to reload.
• Electric Weapons, which use large power sources and electromagnetic fields to strike targets with massive surges of electricity, comparable to a lightning strike. Electric weapons debilitate and weaken Angels on top of dealing damage, but have short range.
• Positron Weapons, which use positron particle beams to strike Angels with immense antimatter force. Positron weapons can breach AT Fields better than any other weapon, but are also the most unreliable class of weapon in Nerv's arsenal.

Rules for special ranged weapons are below.

Storm Arbalest
The Storm Arbalest is a giant, stationary crossbow that launches a huge spike riddled with supercharged magnetism and voltaic charges. When fired into a Zone, it creates a massive electrical storm localised in that zone only. This storm acts exactly like a 'Storm' weather effect and lasts for the rest of the battle.

However, when fired into a zone containing a storm (natural or artificial), the spike acts as a massive lightning rod. This disperses the storm in that zone, but it also funnels the full rage of the storm into anything it hits. On striking a target within a storm, the target instantly takes a 10 damage Voltaic attack with the Penetrating and Armour Breaker Qualities, adding DoS as normal. For every following round, the target is struck again, although the target may evade, testing against your first test; the damage from DoS reduces by one per round. The strikes stop when DoS drops below 1.

Weapon Upgrades

This section details various upgrades that can be applied to Evangelion weapons. On purchasing an upgrade, they apply to all appropriate weapons automatically.

Weapon Upgrades do not require Surplus to purchase. They are merely unlocked with technology. Each upgrade has a specific set of weapons it can be applied to, and each weapon can only tolerate 1 upgrade.

Upgrade Name	Weapon Type	Technology	Effect
Bayonet	Basic Weapons	Starting	The gun is outfitted with a bayonet; when used in melee, it counts as a Mk1 or Mk2 Progressive Knife (whichever is available) instead of an improvised weapon.
Dual Ammo Clip	Pistol/Basic	Starting	The gun is outfitted with a reversible clip; the first reload of the gun each battle is a Free Action and doesn't require you to provide ammo.
Grip Retainer	Pistol/1H Melee	Starting	Attempts to disarm this weapon suffer two disadvantages. Furthermore, you ignore Injury results that would force you to drop this weapon (unless the arm holding it is destroyed, of course)
Gunshield	Heavy/Stationary	Starting	After attacking with this weapon, you benefit from Partial Cover until the start of your next turn. If you're already in Partial Cover, this stacks to form Full Cover.
Laser Sight	Pistol/Basic	Starting	The weapon gains the Unavoidable (1) Quality on non-Burst attacks.
Lubricated Mechanisms	Impact Ranged	Starting	The first jam from this weapon each battle is ignored.
Scope	Basic	Starting	The weapon is outfitted with a scope, providing the Accurate Feature.
Thermal Sight	Any Ranged	Starting	Focused Attacks with this weapon reduces darkness to low light, and low light to normal lighting.
Vertical Gyros	Impact Ranged	Starting	The weapon's rounds are designed to compensate for flying targets. The weapon gains the Anti-AIr (+1) Feature.
Segmented Blade	Progressive	Adv. Progressive	The weapon is segmented, which means that initial damage to it can be isolated to a specific area, snapped off, and replaced with reserve. The weapon ignores the first time it is destroyed.
Disposable Heatsink	Energy Weapon	High-Temp Superconductivity	The first overheat from this weapon each battle is ignored.
Disruptor Pulse Rounds	Impact Ranged	Mini Antimatter	Antimatter rings in this weapon explode on hitting AT Fields, splintering them from the inside. The weapon gains the Disrupting (+1) Quality.
Explosive Rounds	Impact Ranged	Mini Antimatter	The weapon's rounds are outfitted with tiny pockets of antimatter, which detonate with devastating effect within the body. The weapon gains Felling (+2), but loses the Burst quality if it has it.
Hotshot Generator	Energy Weapon	Mini Antimatter	A miniature antimatter generator supercharges shots with this weapon. The weapon gains +2 damage, but loses the Reliable quality and gains the Overheats quality; if it already has the Overheats quality, then overheats with the weapon destroy it completely.
Light Generators	Prog/Thermal/Voltaic	Mini Antimatter	Some melee weapons need internal power sources; replacing these with tiny antimatter plants can drastically lessen the weight. The weapon loses either the Cumbersome or Unwieldy Quality, your choice.
Phaser Couplings	Voltaic	Mini Antimatter	Miniaturised antimatter generators allow for intense, brief spikes in energy output, putting strain on nervous systems. The weapon gains the Tiring (+1) Quality.
Shrapnel Bursts	Impact Ranged	Mini Antimatter	Antimatter pockets in the weapon detonate, propelling shards of deadly shrapnel at high speed. The weapon gains the Spreadshot Quality, but loses the Burst quality if it has it.
Recessive Stock	Basic/One Handed	Nanomachines	The weapon is engineered with a collapsing stock, allowing it to be carried in a Wing Dock.
Positron Edger	Melee Weapon	Positron Engineering	The weapon has a one-use positron edger. Once per battle, it can be expended to give your melee weapon Breaching (+4) for a single turn.
Tripod	Heavy	Superheavy Ordinance	This weapon is equipped with a stabilising tripod. You can make Heavy Weapon Attacks with it and still move.
Underslung Launcher	Basic Weapons	Superior Materials	This weapon is equipped with an underslung launcher that can be used once per battle to fire a Frag or Smoke Grenade, with a range of 40em.

Evangelion Upgrades

This section deals with the myriad upgrades and support equipment prepared for the Evangelions. A great deal of the Eva's potential lies not just in its raw power but how malleable and robust its design has proven to be. An Eva is receptive to extreme genetic manipulation and cybernetic surgical procedures. Through these upgrades, an Eva can be specced out for a specific purpose, allowing Nerv to react to threats much more ably.

All Evangelions can be upgraded with upgrades bought with surplus. These upgrades fall into two categories:

• The Essential Upgrades, which are upgrades that improve an Eva's Scores or other quality of life things. They are one-time purchases that once taken, always apply permanently.
• The Special Upgrades, which provide an Eva with special benefits allowing an Eva to be outfitted for various objectives. Special Upgrades are divided into two types: Biological Upgrades and Mechanical Upgrades. Unlike Essentials, an Eva can only equip so many Special Upgrades of each type at once. An Eva has 3 slots for Biological Upgrades and 3 for Mechanical Upgrades, and these can be swapped out between battle.

Upgrades are purchased once, and then are made available to all Evangelions. However, like everything involving the Evangelions, the cost is predictably high: each upgrade has a cost, which is multiplied by the number of Evangelions you possess.

Like weapons, Upgrades have to be unlocked through research.
-- Back to Top --

Essential Upgrades

Essential Upgrades are basic upgrades to the Eva's intrinsic functioning. Once purchased, they always apply.

Upgrade Name	Effect	Technology	Cost
Improved Plug	This improves the Entry Plug's safety features; characters may reroll the Ejection die and take the preferred result. It also reduces the damage of Plug Breaches to the pilot by 5, and should it become necessary, outfits your Plug with a single copy of all of your personal Kit items, plus a First Aid Kit and 2 weeks of rations.	Practical Railguns	1 per Eva
Armour Boost Mk 1	This adds +1 AP to all areas of the Evangelion.	Superior Materials	2 per Eva
Armour Boost Mk 2	This adds +1 AP to all areas of the Evangelion.	Programmable Matter	3 per Eva
Physique Boost MK 1	This adds +10 Physique to the Evangelion.	Metagenetics	2 per Eva
Physique Boost MK 2	This adds +10 Physique to the Evangelion.	Forced Evolution	3 per Eva
S2 Organ	This powerful organ negates the need for a battery, and provides the Regeneration (+2) trait. When the Eva berserks, it gains Unnatural Might, Physique and AT Field (4).	-	Unpurchasable- the Eva must claim it by eating one from an unexploded Angel during Berserk

Special Biological Upgrades

Special Biological Upgrades improve an Eva using biology and genetic technology. Evas start with three slots with which to equip any purchased Biological Upgrade, and can swap an equipped Upgrade out during Downtime. You may not equip the same upgrade twice.

Upgrade Name	Subname	Effect	Technology	Cost
Blood Mist	-	Whenever the Eva takes an Injury, its blood turns to rapidly expanding gas on contact with the air producing a bloody cloud, counting as Aura (1). The Eva and its allies can see through the cloud fine, but others treat it as a normal smoke cloud.	Starting	2 per Eva
Hyper Mitosis	-	The Eva gains the Regeneration (+2) trait.	Starting	2 per Eva
Twitch Fiber Grafting	-	The Evangelion gains +3 to Initiative.	Starting	2 per Eva
Ambient Amplifier	-	When using powers at Surge strength, you add +1 to your effective ATB for each ally with a spread AT Field within 5em.	Metagenetics	1 per Eva
Core Array	-	You can spend a Fate Point when using powers at Surge Strength to ignore the penalties of Surging.	Metagenetics	1 per Eva
Biofurnace	-	On activating an AT Field power, you can choose to increase your effective ATB by 1 by losing 1 wound off the body.	Metagenetics	2 per Eva
Core Field Shielding	-	You gain an advantage to resist mental ailments, and you extend the 'grace period' after suffering Ego Fracture by 1 round.	Metagenetics	2 per Eva
Adaptive Nerve System	-	You take +2 advantages to resist the burning and shocked ailments.	Bio/Wave Shaping	1 per Eva
Dermal Armour	-	When an attack inflicts injury points on you, you reduce the points by 1, to a minimum of 1.	Bio/Wave Shaping	1 per Eva
Optic Nerve Reflex Amps	-	You gain an extra advantage to attacking enemies at short range, but a disadvantage to enemies at normal range or further.	Bio/Wave Shaping	1 per Eva
Reinforced Lobe	-	You take +2 advantages to resist the dizzy and stunned ailments.	Bio/Wave Shaping	1 per Eva
Resilient Musculature	-	The Eva gains the Sturdy trait, allowing it better defense against Grapples, Pushes and Knockdowns.	Bio/Wave Shaping	1 per Eva

Special Mechanical Upgrades

Special Mechanical Upgrades improve an Eva using cybernetics and hardware. Evas start with three slots with which to equip any purchased Mechanical Upgrade, and can swap an equipped Upgrade out during Downtime. You may not equip the same upgrade twice.

Upgrade Name	Subname	Effect	Technology	Cost
Ammo Backpack	-	At the start of battle, select one equipment you are carrying in your Eva that uses ammo. It connects to a large back-worn ammo pack, tripling the size of its first ammo clip.	Starting	Starting
Battle Harness	-	You gain two extra containers, identical in game mechanics to wing docks, on the torso.	Starting	Starting
Heavy Duty Battery	-	You increase your Battery life by 4 rounds, but should you suffer an injury to the body, you lose a level of resistance to Electric attacks until repaired.	Starting	Starting
Specialised Eva Gear	-	Evas have special suits of gear designed to enable them to operate in varied terrain conditions. They may equip one of the following below:	-	-
-	A-Type Flight Equipment	This rigs the Eva with a flight harness. It gains 5 units of fuel, which it can expend at will to gain the Hover and Flight (GB) traits. However, this requires the Eva to lighten its load; it loses 2 AP on all areas.	Starting	2 per Eva
-	C-Type Deep Sea Equipment	This equips the Evangelion with deep sea water traversal equipment. It gains the Amphibious trait and is immune to water pressure damage, but suffers 2 Disadvantages to Grace tests out of water.	Starting	Starting
-	D-Type Magma Diver Equipment	This equips the Eva with an extreme heat resistant suit capable of entering magma or lava. It gains an extra level of armour resistance to energy attacks, and is immune to Burning and damage from exposure to magma, but suffers 3 disadvantages to Grace tests.	Starting	Starting
-	E-Type Orbital Equipment	This equips the Evangelion for space flight. The Eva takes 2 disadvantages to tests when in gravity. However, it is immune to the dangers of space and has an operation time of 20 rounds. Taking injuries depressurises the suit on that area, however; any further attacks on that body part that wound deal +1 wound.	Starting	3 per Eva
-	F-Type Full Armour Eva Equipment	This massive suit of armour adds +2 AP, increases your size by 1, your battery limit by 5, and provides Unnatural Might (+1). However, you also suffer 2 disadvantages to Grace tests.	Programmable Matter, Nanomachines	3 per Eva
-	G-Type Eva Sniper Equipment	This delicate harness of computer uplinks and sensors allows Evas, when firing Ranged Weapons benefitting from Focus, to double their range and ignore all of the following: Inaccurate, Unreliable.	Starting	3 per Eva
Reactive Charges	-	Once per battle, after suffering an attack and calculating damage, you can use this upgrade to halve the damage taken before soak.	Starting	2 per Eva
Reinforced Plug	-	You reduce Plug Breach Damage by 10, and Savage Attacks dealt to the Eva no longer transfer to the Pilot in the event of a Breach.	Starting	Starting
Wing Dock Upgrades	-	This upgrade replaces a Wing Dock with a specialised piece of equipment below. You can choose two of the following effects, one for each Wing Dock.	-	-
-	Automatic Smoke Launcher	The Wing Dock can be used as a free action three times per battle to deploy a smoke grenade anywhere within 20em, no test required.	Starting	Starting
-	Sensor Array	The pilot gains +2 advantages to Awareness and Point Defense tests.	Voltaic Technology	1 per Eva
-	Magi Relay	The Director gains an Advantage to all Intellect tests against targets within the Zone.	Voltaic Technology	1 per Eva
-	Flash Cannon	The Wing Dock is converted into an electromagnetic 'flash' projector, hitting everything in front of it with a Spray effect up to 10em. Targets within it must test Endurance (Injury) or be blinded until the start of your next turn.	Voltaic Technology	1 per Eva

P-Scale Equipment

This section deals with personal equipment- personal firearms, armour, gadgets, clothes and other minutia.

P-Scale equipment works on a different scale to E-Scale equipment, as one might expect. Generally P-Scale Equipment is used for investigations or, if needed, to keep yourself safe.

Whereas Eva equipment is purchased using the resources of Nerv, acquiring P-Scale Equipment is done differently, and done on an individual basis. A character can attempt to acquire equipment during Downtime through investigations. Instead of tracking currency or the like, it's assumed that a character's skills and abilities are a reflection of their general means. Investigations to acquire equipment should not be extensive- in most cases, unless the item is especially rare or special, it should just be a single test, with modifiers based on how difficult the item is to find. The equipment below comes with an 'availability' field, but these are mere recommendations. Tests that are used to acquire items should reflect the method the player intends to use: an Entice might be fobbing it off someone, Inquiry might be trying to find the cheapest version, Subterfuge might be straight out stealing it, whilst a crafting skill might be making it themselves. Indeed, if a player is using a crafting skill, such as Trade (Armourer), then they should be given an easier time of it, to reflect that they're doing it with their own hands and have full control over the product. Players are free to request certain modifications, which should work similar to the weapon upgrades for E-Scale. Upgrades (or downgrades) dealing with Quality, such as making it Superior or Poor, should be considered too.

• Examples: A player requesting a mine might be happy to be given grenades that can be set up as mines.

Acquisition of an item provides you with a single copy of that item. If it is lost, it must be reacquired. However, so long as you have that item, you're assumed to start each Downtime and Crisis with everything you need to use it, which in the case of ranged weapons, is 4 ammo clips each. More ammo can be acquired through their own acquisitions. The list provided here is not exhaustive, but provides most common items.

Characters get Kits at P-Scale as well, dependent on role. All characters are assumed to have the following:

• Evangelion pilots: 1 Plugsuit, 1 Set of Nerv Uniforms, 1 Nerv ID, plus any amenities needed to keep oneself clean, tidy and warm as necessary
• Directors: 1 Superior Set of Nerv Uniforms w/rank insignia, 1 Handgun, 1 Nerv ID, plus any amenities needed to keep oneself clean, tidy and warm as necessary

P-Scale Gear

This section details various gear and equipment that follows its own various rules. Gear is loosely grouped into the following:

• Clothing. Clothing is worn and provides bonuses around resisting the weather or social benefits.
• Headsets. Headsets are worn on the head and provide benefits around perception.
• Consumables. Consumables are eaten, injected, etc. and provide an instant benefit.
• Tools. Tools are various items that often open up options or boost skill tests.

Name	Effect	Availability
Clothing
Plugsuit	Plugsuits are worn by Evangelion pilots in the Plug and are assumed to always be worn. If the pilot is not wearing one, then they reduce their AT Field score by -5 and the Director cannot use Remote Care on them.	Nerv Only
Foul Weather Gear	These clothes help with intense cold, wind, rain etc, and provide 2 advantages to endurance tests against such things.	+2
Fashionable Wear	These clothes are fashionable and elegant, and are suitable for formal occasions, where they help the wearer inviegle themselves. They provide an Advantage to Fellowship tests in most situations at the GM's discretion.	-1
Headsets
Tactical Headset	These headsets are worn by commandos and soldiers, and at will may ignore one of the following: Darkness, Low Light, Obscuring Haze. They also provide a +20 bonus to Flashbang.	-3
Consumables
Alcohol	Comes in many varieties but they're all intoxicative. Drinking one unit of alcohol (several beers, a wine etc) forces the drinker to take an Endurance (Toxins) test or take a level of stress. 10 uses.	+2
Morphine	A potent painkiller that allows an imbiber to ignore all fatigue and lethal damage effects, bar lethal ones, for PB rounds. At the end of it, it inflicts Stun on the user. Addictive. 5 uses.	-1
Amibiotic	Amibiotics are new, dubious drugs that foster empathy, friendliness and gregarious in the imbiber, making them more easily persuaded, gullible and less deceptive. Can be drunk, inhaled or injected, taking ten minutes to work in all situations except injection, where it applies immediately. Social tests against Amibiotic-affected individuals take a +2 bonus for up to three hours. If injected, the bonus rises to +3, but the target also takes a point of trauma when it wears off, and finds the substance addictive. 5 uses.	-3
Stabilisers	Stabilisers are a medicine that can be used to stabilise or downplay the deleterious effects of mental imbalance. Taking stabilisers incurs a point of stress, but allows one to ignore being Unsettled for up to an hour. 10 uses.	-3
Tools
Binoculars	Binoculars reduce the penalties associated with Awareness tests done at long distance and allow you to see farther. They typically are hand held.	-1
Climbing Harness	The Climbing Harness provides a series of ropes and hooks that make climbing much easier. The Harness provides +2 advantages to Climb tests and you no longer fall if you fail a test. The Climbing Harness is worn over the torso and can be worn with any type of armour.	-1
First Aid Kit	Comes with 6 shots of Morphine, bandages and other tools, the Medkit adds 2 advantages to Medicine (First Aid) tests.	-2
Toolkit	Contains a selection of useful tools for general handiwork, providing +2 advantages to Technology (Engineering) and some crafting tests.	-2
Cosmetics Kit	A full selection of cosmetics that improve looks, allowing for improved Fellowship tests in certain situations, but also provides a resource that improves the quality of disguises. It takes between half an hour to an hour to apply, and has enough for essentially unlimited use, as replenishing lost components is easy.	-2
Lockpicking Kit	Contains tools used to crack open locks. Superior Quality kits also have tools used for cracking electronic locks. +2 advantages to lockpicking tests on analogue locks (unless Superior).	-4
Computer	Allows access to the internet and storage space for files. Also presumably plays games. Can be used to provide +2 advantages to Logic (Maths) and Academics tests.	-4
Combi Tool	An extremely advanced and rare item, Combi Tools are arm-mounted machines that possess a rudimentary virtual intelligence as well as a suite of tools, allowing for automated work. They provide all the benefits of a Superior Toolkit, but can be worn on the arm and don't require a hand to use.	-6
Demolitions Kit	Can be used to set up bombs with a Technology (Explosives) skill test. Has enough for 6kg of explosives, where each kg deals 10 Impact damage, Penetrating, and double damage against stationary targets such as walls. +1 advantage to Technology (Explosives) tests.	-6
