Equipment Traits and Properties

Equipment in the Mneme system uses various traits and properties to define its capabilities. The # symbol indicates a number value.

Weapon Properties

Weapon Technology Level
The minimum Tech Level the weapon appears
Aim Modifier
Weapons with an Aim Modifier add this modifier to any attacks with the weapon when they perform an Aim action
Rate of Fire or Attacks
Weapons have a Rate of Fire or Rate of Attacks property that determines the maximum number of damage rolls it can deal per significant action. Weapons have a minimum number of attacks of 1 per round. Skill modifies the number of attacks:
  • S/2 means 1 attack, plus half of skill per round
  • S means 1 attack plus Skill
  • Number preceding the S means number of additional attacks plus Skill
Slashing Damage
Cutting, slicing, or edged weapon damage. More effective against gel-like materials like muscle and wood
Piercing Damage
Penetrating with a narrow point type of damage. More effective against living creatures and electronic components
Bludgeoning Damage
Blunt force, crushing, and concussive damage. More effective against hard (high Armor) but brittle targets. Can cause Knockback and Knockdown

Weapon Traits

Armor Trait
Armors are listed in the Equipment, and they Grant Armor Rating to Characters. Also note that Attacking Weapons and Equipment have their own AR rating and Hit Points
Minor Loading Trait (mLoading)
Minor action to Load. Without performing the Load action the weapon cannot fire or be used
Significant Loading trait (sLoading)
Significant action to load the weapon. Without performing the Load action the weapon cannot fire or be used
Full Action Loading trait (fLoading #)
Full Action to load a weapon. Without performing the Load action the weapon cannot fire or be used
Minor Ready trait (mReady)
A minor action to Adjust the reach of this weapon. Unready this weapon attacks at a disadvantage
Significant Ready trait (sReady)
It takes a significant action to ready this weapon. Unready this weapon cannot be used
Auto # Trait
Multiplies the Number of Attacks and Damage Roll per effect with attacks with Auto. Example: A 3S weapon with Autofire 2 can have up 3 success effect × 2 = 3 damage rolls × Auto for a total of 6 damage rolls
Burst # Trait
Multiply the number of damage rolls per success. Like auto, but this is for weapons with only a limited shot
2-handed Trait
Weapon requires 2-hands, disadvantage to rolls one handed
Versatile Trait
Weapon can be used one handed or two handed or other usage modes (example Quarterstaff). Its a free action, once per round, to change usage
Reach # Trait
The number of Spaces in addition to the Adjacent space the weapon can attack. Most weapons can adjust their grip from reach 1 to just adjacent. Disadvantage against Adversaries that are closer than its reach. Versatile Weapons can change Reach as a Free Action once per round. mReady can be used to shift weapons reach
Range str #/# Trait
Range is determined by the strength the weapon is built for, the higher the strength the greater the range. The values are multiplied to Strength to get the ranges. Half the Damage beyond the first Range Value. Second value is the maximum distance. Cannot use a Weapon with str required > Wielder's Str+2. Disadvantage using a weapon > Wielder's str
Thrown #/# Trait
The two values are the multiplier to Strength in meters. Half the Damage beyond the first Range Value. Second value is the maximum distance
Heavy Trait
Disadvantage using this weapon if str is < Str 9. Cannot use this weapon if Str < 7
Finesse Trait
This weapon must be used with Dexterity to gain its benefit. When making Targeted Attacks in melee, reduce conditions (like cover or concealment) by 1 OR armor by 1
Light Trait
Can be used as an Offhand weapon. Offhand weapons grant their rate of attacks to the total Rate of Attacks
Explosive Trait
Explosive weapons are less effective farther away, divide the damage of explosions by distance in meters. At default treat Explosive Damage like Bludgeoning Damage as it is able to cause Knockback and Knockdown
Armor Piercing Trait
Armor Piercing (AP) reduces the Effectiveness of Armor. Reduce the Armor of the Target by the AP. Ranged Weapons can be given Armor Piercing Qualities at a higher cost:
  • Arrows/Bolts ×2 Cost, AP 1
  • Pistols and Submachine Guns ×2 Cost AP 3
  • Rifles ×2 Cost AP 5

Medical Consumables

To simplify bookkeeping, allocate a budget on medical consumables. Any one kind or purpose does not make up more than 20% of the Total of Consumables. Assume per 100Cr there is 0.5KG of medicine (weight being from the Packaging). All Prices assume TL7.

Antibiotics
Available in TL6 in the form of penicillin and in earlier eras as tribal knowledge. TL8 10Cr per week of treatment
Antiseptics
Weaken and slow the growth of bacteria, very common type of medicine even in TL0. TL8 1Cr per day of applications
Analgesics
Medicine for pain relief to buy time for the body to heal. TL8 1Cr per day of applications
Antivirals
Medicine used to treat viral infections. Available as early as TL6
Vaccines
Vaccines appear as early as TL4. Some vaccines serve as a booster for what is mostly inoculated or is partially effective in a related or similar disease
Wound Dressing
Available as early as TL0 with any fabric or leaves used in keeping wounds from getting infected, stem bleeding, and manage pain
Tools and Applicators
Injections, pads, 1Cr per day
Antihistamines
Manage allergic symptoms when the body's response does more harm than good
Anti Inflammatory drugs
These manage inflammation when the body's response does more harm than good

Medical Care Consumable Costs

Care Level Daily Cost Description
Light Care 1cr a day Light use of Analgesics, Wound Treatment, and Antiseptics
Moderate Care 2cr a day More powerful Analgesics, extensive wound treatment, Antiseptics, Antibiotics
Critical Care 5cr per day Intensive monitoring and treatment
Intensive Care 10cr per day Full medical support and supervision

Stimulants

Stimulants allow the character to ignore a number of wound penalties from Exhaustion Damage equal to the level.

Stimulant Duration Level Cost Weight
Stims Level 1 6 hours 1 25cr 2000pc/kg
Stims Level 2 6 hours 2 75cr 2000pc/kg
Side Effects
Take note of the Levels of Stimulants. When the character exceeds their Endurance DM +1 of Stimulants taken per 24 hours they take 1 exhaustion damage. Loading up in stimulants deals damage but stimulants ignore damage; once it wears off all that pain and damage will be felt. This is an Addictive and Dependency causing type of drug. Continuous use alters behavior and "withdrawal" can cause DM penalties or Disadvantage.

Pain Medication

Pain medication either block Pain or induce euphoria that blocks pain (powerful analgesics and legal opioids).

Medication Duration Level Cost
Pain Medication Level 1 6 hours 1 10cr
Pain Medication Level 2 6 hours 2 30cr
Side Effects
When the character exceeds their Endurance DM +1 of Pain medication taken per 24 hours they take 1 exhaustion damage. This is an Addictive and Dependency causing type of drug. Continuous use alters behavior and "withdrawal" can cause DM penalties or Disadvantage.

Non-Combat Equipment

Advanced / Cheap Technology

Advanced and Cheap Technology Options are meant to reflect goods, equipment, or services that overlap between Technology Levels. Advanced and Highly Advanced technologies are available but expensive and with some quirks. Older Technology is still available but cheaper. Requires Referee's Approval.

Note
Some Cultures, People, and Places have different TL for different Industries and Areas. In the Developing world a cellphone can be found in the boondocks but transportation, medicine, food, are all far below TL8.

Advanced Technology

Take Goods, Services, or Equipment available in a higher TL that would appear in its earliest form in the previous TL. It is Available in the Previous TL at 10× the cost.

  • A TL item is now available in TL-1
  • Notation is the Items Original TL with -1
  • Example: a TL9 computer available in TL8 is Computer TL9-1
  • Cost is 10×
Typical Drawbacks
  • Fragile: 1/2 HP or AR or Both
  • Limited Uses: Example 1/10 the work life
  • Has a Skill level requirement
  • Difficulty to Repair is 2 more to repair
  • Bulkier: ×3 Weight and Volume

Highly Advanced Technology

This is Advanced Technology taken to a greater level, allowing technology 2 levels greater. Examples would be stone age surgery or electroplating.

  • A TL item is now available in TL-2
  • Notation is the Items Original TL with -2
  • Example: a TL9 computer available in TL7 is Computer TL9-2
  • Cost is 100×
Typical Drawbacks (more extreme)
  • Fragile: 1/4 HP or AR or Both
  • Very Limited Use: Example 1/100 the work life
  • Has a Skill level requirement
  • Difficulty to Repair is 4 more
  • Bulkier: ×10 Weight and Volume

Cheap Technology (Cheap Tech)

Take Goods, Services, or Equipment available in a lower TL and have more Advanced Manufacturing and Mature Markets commoditize these - making them very cheap OR gain a specific benefit. They typically have a special quirk or side benefit from being made in a more advanced market.

  • A TL item is now available cheaply in TL+1
  • Notation is the Items Original TL with +1
  • Example: a TL8 computer manufactured in TL9 is Computer TL8+1
Example Benefits (choose one)
  • Cost is 1/10
  • Hardened - vs EMP, AR/HP increased, various Proofing for Water, Radiation, Vacuum, etc.
  • Extended Work Life, ×3
  • Lighter: 1/3 Weight and Size

Very Cheap Technology (Very Cheap Tech)

  • A TL item is now available cheaply in TL+2
  • Notation is the Items Original TL with +2
  • Example: a TL7 computer manufactured in TL9 is Computer TL7+2
Example Benefits (choose one)
  • Cost is 1/100
  • Hardened against 3 different conditions - vs EMP, AR/HP increased, various Proofing for Water, Radiation, Vacuum, etc.
  • Extended Work Life, ×10
  • Lighter: 1/10 Weight and Size
