This page gives the varieties of equipment available in the Spheres setting, as well as other material or immaterial possessions which characters may wish to have.

These rules require percentile (D100) and six-sided (D6) dice.

Normal rounding is assumed in all cases where rounding is used at all. That is, fractions below one-half are rounded down, while fractions one-half or above are rounded up.

No introduction to roleplaying is given here; it is assumed that anyone who has actually found these rules will be familiar enough with roleplaying and gaming to understand most concepts in the Spheres game.

Assuming that you already have a character who has certain skills, you will probably want that character to have possessions with which she or he can influence the world, remember bygone events, communicate with others or just save his or her butt.

Alternately, you may wish to go back to the main Spheres rules page, the overall Spheres page, my page about SF and RPG's, or my main page.

Part 1: Basic Concepts

Concepts included here:

Price

All prices are given in AlphaBank Dollars (A$, or simply $). There is no single currency which is accepted throughout Known Space, but the A$ is the one that comes closest.

Prices naturally vary from settlement to settlement. Prices will, as always, reflect the demand for a thing and the scarcity of it. Quality, exact quantity and many other things may vary widely, causing similar variations in price. The prices given here may be taken as averages only; players should consult the GM before assuming any price will hold true in a given situation.

Mass

All physical possessions that may be carried are rated as to their mass. This is important when determining how encumbered a character is. Masses are rated in Kilograms (KG), or occasionally Grams (G) or Tons (T) when necessary.

Restriction Class (RC)

All forms of possessions are also rated as to their Restriction Class, or RC. This is a rating of how difficult an item typically is to acquire, and how severely governments tend to police possession of such items. RC's range from 0 (things which are totally unregulated) to 12 (things which tend to be completely prohibited for everyone, regardless of rank or situation). Some examples of the different RC's follow:

RC Type Examples
0 Unrestricted Air, water
1 Civilian, harmless Furniture, clothing
2 Civilian, conceivably harmful Personal commlink, rico, kitchen knife, flashlight, fashion cybernetics
3 Civilian, possibly dangerous Hatchets, over-the-counter medicine, info access
4 Civilian, restricted Civilian vehicles, infopro, vacuum gear, low-grade cybernetics
5 Civilian, high-grade restricted Neural jacks, radio telescopes
6 Secured, low-grade Stun weapons, other civilian personal defense equipment, zeppelins
7 Secured, medium-grade Airguns, daggers, combat knives
8 Secured, high-grade Hunting weapons, cyclotrons, fusion generators, high-grade medicines, civilian ships
9 Military, low-grade Military handguns, most combat cybernetics
10 Military, medium-grade Automatic weapons, military demolitions equipment
11 Military, high-grade Artillery, shipboard lasers, conventional missiles
12 Military, restricted BTST’s, other bioweapons, nuclear weapons, AM weapons, captured Tripod technology

Technology Level (TL)

Every item is also rated for its Technology Level, or TL. This represents the degree of technological progress that a civilization must have to produce the given item. The TL's are rated from 0 (effectively no technology) to 32 (far beyond the dreams of humanity). The average within Knorn Space is 24. Some examples follow:
TL Approximate Dates (Earth equivalent) Description Major Forms of Technology Life Expectancy
0 Pre-1.5 million BCE Early primates Tools, families <40

Armaments

This section of the rules is divided into several parts:

Basic concepts:

Aspect

Weapons have various aspects. These are their abilities to cause damage through specific types of energy. Armors protect at different levels against the different aspects. The aspects follow:
