Tools & Equipment

Detects electromagnetic fields within 30 feet. When activated near supernatural presence, spirits, active magic, or dimensional rifts, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) checks to detect their presence. The device reads on a scale from 0-5, with higher readings indicating stronger supernatural activity.

The meter also reacts to electrical wiring, appliances, and electronic devices. The GM may require an Intelligence check (DC 12) to distinguish supernatural readings from mundane electromagnetic sources.

The strength of the reading helps determine proximity. A reading of 1-2 indicates weak or distant presence, 3-4 indicates moderate or nearby presence, and 5 indicates powerful or immediate presence.

While wearing these goggles, you gain darkvision out to 60 feet. You can see in dim light as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. However, you cannot discern color, only shades of green.

If exposed to bright light (such as a flashlight, flare, or flashbang) while wearing the goggles, you are blinded for 1 round and must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. The goggles may also be damaged (GM's discretion).

The goggles amplify available light. They require at least minimal ambient light (starlight, moonlight) to function. In complete darkness with no light source whatsoever, they provide no benefit.

You have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice things in your peripheral vision while wearing these goggles.

With this set, you can attempt to pick locks using Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) or proficiency with thieves' tools. The DC varies by lock quality:

• Simple locks (padlocks, basic doors): DC 12
• Average locks (home doors, office locks): DC 15
• Good locks (business security, safes): DC 18
• Superior locks (high-security, specialized): DC 20+

Each attempt takes 1 minute. On a failed check, you cannot attempt again until you take a short rest and study the lock mechanism.

If you roll a natural 1 while attempting to pick a lock, one of your picks breaks inside the lock. You have disadvantage on further attempts to pick that lock, and anyone else attempting to pick or open it has disadvantage as well.

Possession of lockpicks is illegal in some states without a locksmith license. Being caught with them may result in charges, especially if combined with other suspicious circumstances.

As an action, you can stabilize a creature at 0 hit points without needing to make a Wisdom (Medicine) check.

As an action, you can expend one use of the kit to treat wounds. The target regains 2d4+2 hit points. Once a creature has been treated with a first aid kit, they cannot benefit from another use of a first aid kit until they finish a short or long rest.

When making a Wisdom (Medicine) check to provide long-term care or diagnose an illness, you can use supplies from the kit to gain advantage on the check.

As an action, you can stabilize a creature at 0 hit points without needing to make a check. If you succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check, the creature regains 1 hit point.

As an action, you can expend one use of the kit to provide professional medical care. The target regains 4d4+4 hit points. This requires a DC 12 Wisdom (Medicine) check. On a failure, the target still regains half the rolled amount. Once a creature has been treated with an advanced first aid kit, they cannot benefit from another use until they finish a short or long rest.

You can expend two uses of the kit to give advantage on a saving throw against disease or poison, or to attempt to neutralize one poison affecting a creature (DC set by the poison).

The kit includes suture materials. You can spend 10 minutes and expend two uses to close severe wounds, stopping ongoing bleed effects.

As an action, you can use this kit on a creature at 0 hit points to immediately stabilize them and restore them to 1 hit point. This requires a DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check. On a success, the creature is stabilized and conscious.

The kit contains a tourniquet and hemostatic gauze. You can use it to automatically stop any bleeding effect, including those that would normally require saving throws to end.

Designed to be worn on a belt or attached to tactical gear. Can be deployed and used with one hand if necessary.

Unlike other first aid kits, this is designed for one major trauma event. After use, it must be restocked ($50-80 to restock).

While wearing a gas mask with a functioning filter, you are immune to inhaled toxins, gas attacks, and airborne chemicals including tear gas, chlorine gas, and most chemical weapons. You also have advantage on saving throws against diseases transmitted through the air.

The sealed faceplate protects your eyes, granting immunity to effects that require sight (such as flashbangs or blinding powder) as long as the mask is properly sealed.

Speaking while wearing a gas mask is muffled. You have disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) and Charisma (Performance) checks that involve speaking. Listeners have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to understand you.

You have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight to notice things in your peripheral vision.

Filters become saturated with use and must be replaced. A filter is good for 8 hours in light contamination, 4 hours in moderate contamination, or 1 hour in heavy contamination. Replacement filters cost $15-40 each.

While using binoculars, you can see details clearly at distances up to 1,000 feet (or 10 times normal range for identifying creatures and reading signs). You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when observing distant objects or creatures.

To use binoculars effectively, you must remain relatively still. If you move more than half your speed on your turn, you have disadvantage on Perception checks made with the binoculars due to image shake.

While using binoculars, you have disadvantage on Perception checks to notice anything outside your focused viewing area. You're essentially tunnel-visioned on what you're looking at.

Binoculars magnify available light but cannot function in complete darkness. In dim light, you can still see but have disadvantage on Perception checks.

You can monitor police, fire, and EMS radio frequencies within approximately 20-30 miles. When local law enforcement is dispatched to an incident, you can hear the call in real-time, typically 5-10 minutes before they arrive on scene.

While monitoring the scanner during downtime, you gain advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks to learn about recent crimes, accidents, or supernatural incidents in your area. The GM may provide you with information about Events or ongoing situations.

If law enforcement is dispatched to your location or a location you're monitoring, you typically have 1d10+5 minutes of warning before they arrive, allowing you to escape, prepare, or hide evidence.

Listening to the scanner can reveal how much attention your activities are drawing. If your group's Exposure is 5 or higher, the GM may have you hear references to investigations, BOLOs (Be On the Lookout), or suspicious person reports that relate to your group.

You must program the scanner with local frequencies. This requires 1 hour and a DC 10 Intelligence check. Pre-programmed frequency guides are available for major cities ($10-20).

Allows instant voice communication between users within range. As a bonus action, you can send a short message to anyone on the same channel. No check is required for basic communication.

In open terrain with line of sight, walkie-talkies can communicate up to 2 miles. This is reduced by obstacles:
• Inside buildings: 200-400 feet
• Heavy forest or urban areas: 0.5 miles
• Through concrete/steel structures: 100 feet or less

Most models have 8-14 channels, allowing multiple groups to communicate without interference. You can switch channels as a free action.

Communications are not encrypted. Anyone with a radio tuned to the same frequency can hear your transmissions. Sensitive information should be coded or avoided.

You must press a button to transmit. This prevents background noise from broadcasting, but also means you can't transmit while using both hands for other tasks.
