Voidrunner General Gear

Technological equipment, vehicles, and even beings need to be maintained and built, and those with the knowledge — and implements — to do so have a hand in shaping the future.

Construction Foam. An industrial “spray concrete,” industrial foam comes in a heavy canister or drum and is deployed with a special sprayer. It is semi-solid and shapeable for about 5 minutes after spraying. Once it fully sets after an hour, it becomes a durable stone-like material. A 1-foot thick (cubic) section of construction foam has an AC of 15 and 40 hit points, but only weighs 10 lbs., roughly 1/15th of the weight of concrete. It is waterproof and takes no damage from cold, fire, acid, poison, or lightning. In industrial applications, it is usually transported via truck.
Price and weight are for a smaller backpack applicator that creates 6 cubic feet of the foam.

Duct Tape.  This heavy-duty, airtight, water-resistant tape has a multitude of uses. You can use 3 feet for emergency repairs to clothing, containers, mechanical creatures, or armor, removing the broken condition for 1d8 days. However, if the user suffers a critical hit before the item can be properly repaired, or something else would impose the broken condition on the item, the item re-breaks and cannot be repaired with duct tape again until properly repaired. You can also use 6 feet of the tape and an action to restrain a medium-sized creature (as zip cuffs), 1 foot to blind a restrained creature until an action is spent to remove the tape, and 1 foot to render a restrained creature unable to speak until an action is spent to remove the tape. A restrained creature’s airway can also be covered with 1 foot of the tape, causing it to begin suffocating until an action is spent to remove the tape. You can use 12 feet of the tape to secure a restrained creature to a chair or other stationary object, imposing disadvantage on checks to escape its restraints.

Earplugs. These small, comfortable foam plugs fit into the ear canal of most humanoids. They grant advantage on saving throws to avoid being stunned or deafened by loud noises, but disadvantage on hearing-based Perception checks.

Multitool. A small folding toolkit designed to be clipped to a pocket or carried in a pouch, a multitool usually has pliers, screwdrivers, and a knife blade at a minimum. You can use it for vehicle repair or in place of weaponsmith toolkits, but such checks suffer a –1d4 penalty and take twice as long.

Notebook. Notebooks of various shapes and sizes are still useful—and inexpensive—in the age of digital media.

Pen. Available in a basic, extremely inexpensive variety and a version that works in zero gravity but costs much more, pens are the standard writing utensil of most Voidrunners.

Spray Adhesive. An incredibly strong glue that bonds virtually anything solid to anything else solid. The underlying structures typically give way before the glue does. It comes with a canister of solvent that dissolves a square foot of adhered area in 1 minute. A single spray canister is good for 50 uses. A creature glued to a surface can rip free, taking 1d8 slashing damage in the process.

Spray Paint. Used primarily for painting furniture, machine parts, and so on, spray paint is also used for graffiti and street or vehicle art and can blind creatures and cameras alike. It can be sprayed at a creature or camera within 10 feet. Cameras are automatically blinded until the paint is cleaned off (requiring 2 actions). Creatures make a Dexterity saving throw against the attacker's maneuver DC. Creatures that fail are blinded for 1 round if unprotected, or until 2 actions are spent to clean the lenses or visor of whatever eye or face protection they are wearing. A canister has 5 uses. Luminescent varieties exist that cast dim light within 5 feet of the area they are applied to; they cost twice as much.

Zero-Friction Lubricant. A super-slick sprayed compound, Zero-friction lubricant can make any surface incredibly slippery. It doesn’t quite remove all friction (the name is hyperbole) but any creature attempting to cross a surface coated with the lubricant or hold onto an item sprayed with it makes a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw each round. Failing the save results in the creature falling prone (and needing another check at the same DC to stand up or move from their position) in the case of a surface or drop the item in the case of an item. Spraying a grappling creature with the lubricant gives advantage on checks to escape a grapple. A spray canister contains enough lubricant to cover 25 square feet. Spraying a creature or 5 foot square takes an action.
