NEW EQUIPMENT
-Sonic Screwdriver (this little Gallifreyan technological wonder serves many, many purposes. Using the Sonic Screwdriver requires a Technology AN of 7 at least. It grants +3 to any attempt to open a lock, mechanical or electronic, and +2 to Repair attempts. It may be used to fire small to very powerful waves of sonic energy (and receives a +1 on any such use; basically, it acts as a Force Blast that deals only Stun damage VS living beings or Normal damage against non-living matter, up to a 12 stones attack, tops). The Sonic Screwdriver is an excellent scanning device, allowing the Traveler to scan for nearly any type of radiation, energy signature or specific matter. It can be used as a flashlight, a welding tool, to detect/intercept/send signals and communications, remotely operating the TARDIS, burning, cutting or igniting substances, amplifying or augmenting sounds, disabling alien disguises, healing cuts and wounds (it adds +2 to Medical Healing uses), etc. Its various modes could be used as a regular weapon of +1 to +3, although the Traveler pretty much never uses it to cause harm.)
-Psychic Paper (this handy little device looks like a simple white paper card until shown to someone in certain situations. Indeed, the card seems to show a viewer what that person expects to see, or what the person holding it wants it to show. For example, if the Traveler shows it to someone after stating that she works in a certain building, and that someone asked an employee card to prove it, he will look at the paper and "see" it as an employee card. If the Traveler says to someone, "Hey, have you seen this man?" while showing the card and thinking about a given man, the person will see said man on it. While it is very useful, it doesn't work on people with a Mental Defense of 9 or more.)
-TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space; one of the most advanced time travelling machines ever known, the TARDIS is arguably the best means of transportation, bar none. It basically can bring its passengers anywhere, anywhen, up to (although it is much more difficult) other dimensions which are relatively close to the one it is in [GM's call]. Additionally, it is MUCH bigger on the inside than the outside. The Traveler's TARDIS, unlike the Doctor's, still has a functional Chameleon Circuit, meaning it can appear like whatever is approrpriate to the Time Lord. Using the TARDIS for anything requires a Technology AN of 5, and actually using it for transportation requires Technology 8. Its major systems and uses are listed below:)
- Time/Space Travel: As Teleportation 11 (Interstellar distances, Time travel, Limited Dimensional travel [GM's call]). Can also move about with Flight 11.
- Architectural Configuration Circuitry: The TARDIS' interior layout and design is very easy to alter/manipulate. With only a little technical know-how (and the Traveler's permission), one can add/remove/alter rooms in the TARDIS, with few limits. For example, the Traveler could create an entire room with a swimming pool in it with but the press of a few buttons. Additionally, the Traveler can generate any kind of existing object/matter with few limits using the TARDIS. Unexisting stuff, however, will have to be invented first.
- Chameleon Arch: This system allows a Time Lord to alter their appearance for up to one week. Using it works as Shape Shifting 8, but it hurts a lot to use it, so the Traveler only rarely uses it.
- Cloister Bell: Basically, this is the alarm system of the TARDIS. It will sound when terrible danger threatens either the TARDIS or the Universe itself, and can be deactivated with the press of a few buttons, vocal command or the use of the Sonic Screwdriver so the Traveler can have some silence to investigate and find out what's going on.
- Control Console: The first thing someone sees when entering the TARDIS is often the Control Console: an heaxagonal control console that surrounds a "time rotor". It usually requires no less than sic operators to properly use a TARDIS, although the Traveler has found a way around this by using the device "on the brakes" and running around quite a bit. The time rotor holds the TARDIS' source of power, called the Heart of the TARDIS. Staring directly into it is to be one with the Universe and all time and space, and not even a Time Lord can control such energy for long, or predict what sights and powers come from such an union.
- Energy Manipulation: The TARDIS systems are especially good at manipulating energy. A Tardis is constantly surrounded by a very powerful force field (26 stones of Defense VS Energy and Physical threats; attacks more powerful than this can damage its systems and cause various malfunctions), and it can be used to manipulate Gravity (as a Mastery at AN 11 with Create/Manipulate), use Tractor Beams (as Telekinesis 11) and similar stuff.
- Hostile Actions Displacement System (HADS): This system makes taking violent action inside the TARDIS a difficult task. It basically reduces any such attempts by a -6 sitmod. This specific system, however, has suffered several times in the past of temporary unreliabilty...
- Nesting: As aforementionned, the TARDIS is much bigger on the inside than the outside, and can store vast amounts of matter and objects if necessary. It can literally appear around objects which are then stored inside and then put out as easily as necessary. The exact limits on that storage ability has yet to be discovered.
- Enhanced Database and Tech Support Systems: Adds +6 to all actions related to knowledge, technology, and analysis for anyone who has access to and knows how to use the Tardis' equipment.
- TARDIS key: To operate a TARDIS, one requires a key. In time, however, the somewhat sentient TARDIS will recognize its owner more easily, and will eventually respond to other types of "keys". In the Traveler's case, the TARDIS obeys to both his vocal commands, and/or a snap of his fingers.
- Translation systems: Aboard the TARDIS, everyone seems to speak the same language, even if they never heard someone else's language before. Using the Sonic Screwdriver, the Traveler can use that function outside the TARDIS as well.
