Tool Kit

Equipment (Tools)

You need a tool kit to reprogram a droid or to repair a damaged droid or vehicle. A tool kit also makes repairing devices much simpler.

The standard tool kit represents a broad collection of tools designed to take apart, analyze, modify, and rebuild almost any technological device. Most technicians personalize their tool kits over the course of years, but almost all contain at least an electroshock probe (for shorting out electronic components or soldering wires), fusion cutter (for cutting apart durasteel and similar materials), hydrospanner (to tighten and loosen all forms of screws and fasteners), laser welder (for connecting things), power calibrator (both for analyzing circuitry and to act as an emergency power cell), power prybar (for forcing things open), probe sensors, sonic welder (for connecting things when you can't afford a fire), various circuits and connector wires, vibrocutters (for things that don't call for a fusion cutter), and welding goggles (so you don't burn out your eyes).

Many of these tools can be used as makeshift weapons. They all qualify as simple weapons, but since they aren't designed for combat, they impose a -5 penalty on attack rolls. (Droids with such tools on tool mounts don't suffer these penalties, since they don't have to deal with an oddly shaped handle.) Different tools deal different damage: electroshock probe, ld8 ion; fusion cutter, 2d6 energy; laser welder, ld8 energy; power prybar, ld8 bludgeoning; sonic welder, ld8 energy.
