In many cases characters practically obsess over their gear, paying attention to every little detail and paying top dollar in the game for the best, most cutting-edge stuﬀ . But even if the PCs themselves don’t care about equipment, their enemies prob- ably do. Aft er all, it usually doesn’t take much in the way of ﬁ repower to make even the lowliest thug or goblin a match for the most powerful hero! Th e HERO System Equipment Guide is your one-stop shopping place for just about any sort of weapon or gear you can imagine. It reprints equip- ment from several HERO System books, including Th e Ultimate Martial Artist, Star Hero, Fantasy Hero, and Dark Champions. Leaving aside some of the imagined technologies for Science Fiction games, the book focuses on “real world” equipment most oft en found in Heroic campaigns. If you want science-defying comic book-style super-tech, Hero Games publishes another book, Gadgets And Gear, that has everything you need. WHAT THIS BOOK CONTAINS As mentioned above, the Equipment Guide mostly contains equipment reprinted from other books. Except where noted below, it doesn’t have any new material — it simply collects existing weapons and gear and compiles them in one place for easy reference. Where appropriate, page refer- ences have been changed to refer to the 5th Edition, Revised rulebook. Chapter One, Fantasy Equipment, covers weapons and armor from Fantasy Hero, includ- ing rules about how to construct such equipment. Chapter Two, Martial Arts Equipment, provides weapons and armor from various Asian cultures, suitable for use not only in Ninja Hero campaigns but Fantasy games with an Oriental feel. Chapters Th ree and Four, Modern-Day Weap- ons and Modern-Day Gear, reprint the weapons and other gear, respectively, from Dark Champions. Th ey also include various types of ammunition, ﬁ rearms accessories, and the like. Chapter Th ree includes some new material: weapons of mass destruction (a nuclear bomb; chemical and biologi- cal weapons) and poisons. Chapter Five, Science Fiction Equipment, includes the weapons and other technology from Star Hero for use in Science Fiction games. WHAT THIS BOOK DOESN’T CONTAIN It’s also important to note what this book doesn’t contain. First, as mentioned earlier, it doesn’t include superhero gadgets or equipment, such as those in Champions and Gadgets And Gear. Second, it includes only personal equipment — the sorts of weapons and devices characters might carry themselves on their adventures. It doesn’t have any vehicles, siege engines, or the like. Th ird, the Equipment Guide doesn’t feature any setting-speciﬁ c equipment, only the “generic” gear found in various genre and Ultimate books. Th us, if you want the weapons list for the Terran Empire setting, you should refer to Terran Empire and Th e Spacer’s Toolkit, not this book. Fourth, except where necessary to explain how equipment functions in the game, or the like, this book doesn’t have any rules for using equipment in the game. For example, for the most part it lacks price lists — they tend to be campaign-speciﬁ c things (see the appropriate genre books for guidelines about cre- ating price lists, and sample price lists). It also doesn’t have rules for technology levels, special maneuvers for use with weapons, or the like. Th e Equipment Guide is just an equipment locker; for other rules, see the 5th Edition, Revised rulebook or the various books from which this equipment was taken. FANTASY EQUIPMENT Chapter One 6 ■ Fantasy Equipment Hero System 5th Edition WEAPONS E xcept in some martial arts-oriented cam- paigns, Fantasy combat usually involves lots of weapons: swords, axes, bows, dag- gers, and many, many more. This section has expanded weapons lists, plus rules for build- ing and using weapons. You may also want to refer to Chapter Two of this book, which has an extensive list of Asian and martial arts weapons. WEAPONS TABLES Th e accompanying weapons tables — one for HTH Combat weapons and one for Ranged Combat weapons — provide HERO System statis- tics, write-ups, and notes for dozens of weapons appropriate to Fantasy Hero and similar genres. Th e tables are similar to those on pages 481-83 of the HERO System 5th Edition, Revised rulebook; where these tables diﬀ er from those in the rulebook, these tables take precedence, at least for Fantasy games.
