SENSOR, ARMACOMP (PL 7)

The armacomp sensor equipment is a hand-held computer or computerized gauntlet designed to detect and locate weapons of all types. It grants a +6 equipment bonus on Search checks when searching for weapons. Additionally, the armacomp sensor's advanced data on weapons of all types makes it a valuable resource when repairing weapons, granting a +4 equipment bonus on all Repair checks made on weapons. This does not include explosives and other demolitions devices, which are covered under the democomp sensor.

SENSOR, BIOCOMP (PL 7)

biocomp sensor equipment The biocomp is a handheld computer or computerized gauntlet designed to analyze biological life forms and data. It’s main use is as a reader of bioelectric signatures, unique to each individual, for security and identification purposes. Using a biocomp in this manner is a full-round action, requiring the target to be relatively still throughout the round, and requiring the user to make a Knowledge (earth and life sciences) to correctly interpret the data. In order to confirm an identity, the biocomp must have access to a library of bio-electrical signatures to which it can compare the one being scanned.

Biocomp sensors are often added (using the integrated equipment gadget) to computers at checkpoints and doorways into secure facilities. In these cases, the computer stores a library of bioelectrical signatures, as well as software that allows it to run the Knowledge (earth and life sciences) check.

In addition to the uses above, a bio-comp sensor provides a +4 equipment bonus to any Knowledge (earth and life sciences) check made to analyze or identify biological organisms and ecosystems.

SENSOR, CHEMICOMP (PL 6)

The chemicomp sensor equipment computer is a handheld computer or computerized gaunt-let designed to find individual chemical com-pounds. Chemicomps can locate a specific chemical, providing a + 10 equipment bonus on Search checks when attempting to find chemical compounds.

SENSOR, DEMOCOMP (PL 7)

The democomp sensor equipment is a hand-held computer or computerized gauntlet designed to detect and locate explosives of all types. It grants a +6 equipment bonus on Search checks when searching for explosives. Additionally, the democomp sensor's advanced data on explosives of all types makes it a valuable resource when planting them, granting a +4 equipment bonus on all Demolitions and Disable Device checks made involving explosives.

SENSOR, ELECTRICOMP (PL 7)

The electricomp sensor equipment is a hand-held computer or computerized gauntlet designed to detect and locate electronic devices of all types, including computers. It grants a +6 equipment bonus on Search checks when searching for electronics of a specific type. Additionally, the electricomp sensor's advanced data on electronics of all types makes it a valuable resource when repairing computers and other electronics, granting a +4 equipment bonus on all Repair checks made on them. Additionally, the electricomp can be used to identify any flaws in cybernetics.

SENSOR, GEOCOMP (PL 6)

The geocomp sensor equipment computer is a handheld computer or computerized gauntlet designed to find individual minerals. Geocomps can locate a specific mineral, providing a +10 equipment bonus on Search checks when attempting to find minerals . SENSOR, MECHANICOMP (PL 7)

The mechanicomp sensor equipment is a hand-held computer or computerized gauntlet designed to assist in the evaluation and repairs of mechanical devices. The mechanicomp can identify a vehicle's, starship's, or mecha's current and maximum hit points. Additionally, thanks to the mechanicomp's extensive library of mechanical blueprints, any repairs made using the mechanicomp as a reference are more efficient, granting a +4 equipment bonus on all Repair checks made to vehicles, starships, and mecha.

SENSOR, NANOCOMP (PL 7)

The nanocomp sensor equipment computer is a handheld computer or computerized gauntlet designed to detect ambient and internal nanocolonies. Nanocomps locate almost all nanocolonies, providing a +10 equipment bonus on Search checks when attempting to find nanocolonies either within a living body or floating independently.

SENSOR, PSI-DETECTOR (PL 6)

psi detector sensor equipment The psi-detector is a handheld computer or computerized gauntlet capable of detecting and pinpointing psionic activity within 300 feet. Its use requires a full-round action and a Search check (DC 20 minus the effective power level of the ability or effect in use). A successful Search check detects any psionic activity within range and its rough direction. If the check beats the DC by 5 or more, the location or source of the activity is pinpointed.

A character with the Knowledge (Life Sciences) skill can spend an additional full-round action to analyze the nature of the psionic activity. With a successful Knowledge (Life Sciences) check (DC 15) the character can determine the mindwalking school of the effect. With a success that beats the DC by 5 or more, the character is able to determine the specific effect.

SENSOR, RADAR (PL 7)

radar sensor equipment The radar unit is a handheld computer or computerized gauntlet that contains a powerful phased array radar system. It does not work in enclosed spaces, but in an open area it maps the terrain and detects objects regardless of visibility. The radar unit’s display can be zoomed in and out to any radius up to 200 miles, though only solid objects of Large size or bigger can be detected beyond 50 miles.

Use of the radar unit requires a move action and a Spot check with a +10 bonus. The DC of the check and modifiers to are detailed on the chart below.

Radar is an active sensor, meaning that it emits a signal rather than passively receiving input. Any character using an electricomp or other sensor capable of detecting electromagnetic activity may spot its use.
