Utility Grenades

Tanglefoot: Acc +0, Damage N/A, Range 25, Rate 3, Tags G, Resources ** (rechargeable for Resources *)

Tanglefoot grenades create a short-lived gravity field that makes it extremely difficult to move; everything within 10m has speed reduced by half and jumping becomes impossible except via Charms, which are reduced to one-quarter normal distance. DVs for attacks that originate from inside the field are not penalized as everyone is fighting added gravity; DVs for attacks from outside are halved. The onboard energy cells lasts 10 rounds, but roll 1D every round; on a 1 the grenade discharges early.

Barrier Flare: Acc +0, Damage N/A, Range 25, Rate 3, Tags G, Resources *** (rechargeable for Resources *)

Barrier emitters emit a permeable, semitransparent forcefield 5m in diameter that provides defense against bullets and energy weapons, though slow, massy objects (eg, people, cars, etc) are not slowed. Most emit into a hemisperical shape, though some generate a 2-D plane. Any defense against an attack drawing line of sight into or through a barrier gains +1 DV and +4L/4B. Explosive weapons such as rockets or grenades are an exception to this and instead have a -3 external penalty to fire through the barrier. A failed roll mean they detonate upon hitting the barrier and roll as per normal; success means they penetrate and suffer no penalties. Like Tanglefoot grenades, Barrier Flares last 10 rounds, but roll 1D every round; on a 1 or 2 the grenade discharges early.

Artifact version (**): Instant Assymetric Barriersphere. +6L/6B soak, lasts 10 rounds without failure, friendly attacks do not suffer penalties for drawing line of sight through the barrier.
