Tactical Equipment
Many items in PZ may be used in all types of situations, but for some of them there are specific rules.
If an item you want to use does not have a rule yet, a narrator decides how it works for that situation, before letting the curator team know about this gap in the rules.
Armor
Armor Location
Armor protects the area it is worn on, below is a table that helps figure out which area that is, and how much AC it adds to that area.
| Item | Location | AC Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Head | 2 |
| Mask | Head | 2 |
| Vest | Torso | 3 |
| Kilt | Torso | 1 |
| Shin Guard | Legs | 1 |
| Greaves | Legs | 2 |
| Thigh Guard | Legs | 2 |
| Leg Pad | Legs | 1 |
| Pauldrons | Arms | 2 |
| Shoulder Pad | Arms | 1 |
| Hand Plate | Arms | 1 |
| Gloves | Arms | 1 |
Armor Integrity
When a protected body area is hit by a Strong Attack, one piece armor protecting that body area takes 1 Integrity damage.
When Integrity reaches 0:
- The armor loses its AC bonus.
- The armor no longer protects that body area.
- The armor must be repaired before providing protection again.
The type of Armor determines its Integrity.
| Type | Integrity |
|---|---|
| Improvised | 1 |
| Scrap | 1 |
| Armoured | 1 |
| Bulletproof | 2 |
| Defender | 2 |
| Patriot | 2 |
| Vanguard | 3 |
For the improvised category, ask a Curator. This includes things like leather vests, welding masks, etc. and may not give the full AC bonus. Never assume its stats without confirmation from a Curator.
Weapon Attachments
When a weapon attachment is equipped on a weapon, whenever you use this weapon, the following effects/rules apply.
Sling
When the Drop Item Action is used, instead of the floor, your weapon is returned to your main inventory.
Scope
When the Range of your weapon is calculated, your Aiming is multiplied by the scope’s highest multiplier.
If a Scope/Sight has no multiplier listed, consider it 2x.
Bayonet
The Weapon now also counts as a Piercing/Slashing melee weapon.
Suppressor
Shots fired by the weapon are not heard further than 10 Tiles away.
Grip
You gain a +1 to your Aiming rolls using this weapon.
Bipod, 1AP
Requirements: a sturdy surface.
You deploy the bipod. For as long as it remains deployed, you gain Advantage on Aiming rolls with this weapon.
Picking up or moving the weapon removes this bonus.
Explosives
Fire Bomb/Molotov
Can be used as part of the Throw Object Action.
On Strong Failure:
The bomb does not go off.
On other rolls:
· A circle/sphere with a radius of 4 tiles around where it fell:
· Objects and Tiles are set Aflame(weak) for 2 rounds.
· Creatures in this area have to roll Reflex DC12 or also be set Aflame(weak) for 2 rounds. This roll is made with disadvantage if Thrown Object was a strong success.
