## Miscellaneous ### Cortical Stimulator **Slot:** None **Weight:** 1 lb. **Capacity**: 3 **Usage**: 1-3 charges **Price**: 13,650 gp #### DEscription If placed on the forehead of a recently deceased victim, this potent device can revive it, automatically stabilizing at –1 hit point. As with most other effects that revive the dead, a creature restored to life in this manner gains 1 negative level. A cortical stimulator only works on bodies that are relatively intact. Bodies that have been dismembered, horribly burned, or otherwise mutilated (at the GM’s discretion) cannot be revived by a cortical stimulator, but bodies slain by death effects can be. If one charge is used, a cortical stimulator can automatically revive a creature killed within 1 round. If used on a creature dead longer than one round, it must succeed on a Fortitude save DC 10 + 1 per round since death occurred. If two charges are used, a cortical stimulator can automatically revive a creature killed within 1 minute. If used on a creature dead longer than one minute, it must succeed on a Fortitude save DC 10 + 1 per minute since death occurred. If three charges are used, a cortical stimulator can automatically revive a creature killed within 10 minutes. If used on a creature dead longer than ten minutes, it must succeed on a Fortitude save DC 10 + 1 per 10 minutes since death occurred. A cortical stimulator can be deadly if used on a living creature. A living that uses a cortical stimulator must succeed at a DC 16 Fortitude saving throw to resist taking 3d6 points of Constitution damage from a stroke. If the save is successful, the Constitution damage is negated but the victim becomes nauseated for 1d6 rounds. ### Polycorder, Standard **Price** 5,250 gp **Slot** none; **Weight** 8 lbs. **Capacity** 10; **Usage** 1 charge/minute #### DEscription A polycorder is a multiuse scanner and recording device capable of sensing a variety of objects and energy fields.

The polycorder has a variety of scan settings: * **Chemalizer** In passive mode, it can detect if areas has been poisoned. A second round of study allows the user to make a knowledge (nature), Craft (alchemy) check (with a +5 competence bonus) to identify the poison's effects. In active mode, it will detect the presence of poison in a creature or object, and help the user a +5 competence bonus on craft or knowledge checks to identify any unknown pharmaceutical, poison, chemical, or similar substance. It cannot aid in the identification of magical effects or items like potions. * **Radiometer** In passive mode, it can detect the presence and intensity of radiation. In active mode, it can detect subtle radioactive emissions, such as those radiated by magical objects, allowing a user to identify the strength of an objects magical aura and granting a +5 competence bonus to knowledge (arcana) checks to identify the school of magic. * **Biosensor** In passive mode, it can detect the presence of living creatures of tiny or larger size with at least one hit die. The sensor can be configured to omit any number of "expected" readings, such as from allies in the area of effect. A second round of study allows a user to know the number of biosignatures in the area. In active mode, it can provide a general sense of the creature's physiology, granting the user a +5 competence bonus on knowledge checks to identify a creature.

This additional saving throw counts for the total number of successful saves needed to recover from the disease or poison. If the target is suffering from multiple afflictions, a single dose of qioritol works against all such afflictions currently afflicting him. Qioritol also restores 1d4 points of ability damage or 1 point of ability drain that has been inflicted by a disease or poison, even if the user doesn’t succeed at the save. A dose cures any ability drain before curing ability damage. If the target is suffering from drain or damage to multiple ability scores, the qioritol cures the score with the most damage or drain (or randomly selects one if multiple scores have equal drain or damage). #### Construction **Craft DC** 25; **Cost** 700 gp Craft Pharmaceutical, medical lab ### Torpinal **Price** 300 gp #### Description Torpinal is a serum that makes the injected subject more cooperative during interrogation. It has a 1-minute onset time. The effects of a single dose of torpinal can be resisted with a successful DC 12 Will saving throw. Additional dose can be used, and often are when the subject succeeds at a save against torpinal. Each dose administered within a 1-minute period forces a new saving throw to resist the effects, with the DC increasing by 2 per additional dose (to a maximum of DC 22). A victim that succumbs to torpinal becomes highly suggestible to revealing truthful information for 10 minutes. Whenever the victim is posed a question during this time, the victim must succeed at a Will saving throw (DC = the DC of the dose of torpinal the victim failed his saving throw against) to resist replying to the question in as truthful a manner as he can. The victim isn’t compelled to follow any suggestions other than the one to answer questions truthfully. A victim under the effects of torpinal takes a –10 penalty on Bluff checks, making it difficult to lie even if successfully saving against the torpinal’s ongoing effects. Torpinal is a poison and mind-affecting effect. #### Construction **Craft** DC 25; **Cost** 150 gp Craft Pharmaceutical, medical lab ### Vitalastim **Price** 500 gp #### Description When injected into a creature (this is a standard action), the substance grants immunity to low radiation for 1 hour, and a +5 alchemical bonus on all saving throws against other radiation effects for that duration.

A creature that takes a dose of zortaphen must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw or become unconscious for 1 hour; the unconsciousness takes effect 1d6 rounds after the failed save. A creature under the effects of zortaphen is numbed as well, making it immune to pain effects while sleeping. Damage inflicted on someone put to sleep with zortaphen does not cause the sleeper to awaken. Awakening someone early requires a successful DC 20 Heal check and a full-round action. Zortaphen is a poison and sleep effect. Zortaphen can be dangerous if too much is taken at once. A skilled character can use a successful DC 15 Heal check to keep someone under the effects of zortaphen unconscious indefinitely by injecting a new dose every hour. On a failed Heal check or if a second dose is administered without attempting a Heal check, a victim already under the effects of zortaphen must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save or take 1d6 points of Constitution damage. #### Construction **Craft** DC 22; **Cost** 1,125 gp Craft Pharmaceutical, medical lab ## Weapons ### Disruptor Pistol #### Statistics **Cost** 15,000 gp **Type** one-handed ranged; **Proficiency** exotic (firearms); **Weight** 2 lbs. **Damage** 1d12; **Damage Type** special; **Critical** x4 **Range** 50 ft.; **Capacity** 10; **Usage** 1 charge; **Special** Semi-automatic, touch #### destruction A disruptor pistol fires a contained thoron field that disrupts molecular bonds of anything it strikes. Creatures or objects struck by disruptor beam take energy damage that is similar to a *disintegrate* spell. Creatures slain a disruptor beam are entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust. A disruptor pistol resolves as a ranged touch attack, except that any AC bonus from force effects (such a *mage armor* or *shield*) applies. A disruptor beam is blocked by force barriers such as *wall of force*, though they deal damage to them as normal and ignore their hardness. ### Multiphasic Blaster #### Statistics **Cost** 5,000 gp **Type** one-handed ranged; **Proficiency** exotic (firearms); **Weight** 2 lbs. **Damage** see text; **Damage Type** special; **Critical** x2 **Range** 50 ft.; **Capacity** 10; **Usage** See text; **Special** Semi-automatic, touch #### destruction A polyphasic blaster emit a beam of phased nadion particles.

Setting the blaster's power level is a move action. A successful critical hit with a polyphasic blaster on the stun setting stuns its victim for 1 round. A successful DC 14 Fortitude save reduces the effect to staggered. A successful critical hit has no such effect on a lethal setting. | Setting | Usage | Damage (S) | Damage (M) | | ------- | ---------- | -------------- | -------------- | | Stun | 1 charge | 1d6 nonlethal¹ | 1d8 nonlethal¹ | | 1 | 1 charges | 1d6 | 1d8 | | 2 | 5 charges | 3d6 | 3d8 | | 3 | 10 charges | 5d6 | 5d8 |
