In many cases it is not necessary to create entirely new rules for equipment. Existing equipment can be used to fill generic types of gear. If the character is wielding a laser gun, it's perfectly alright to use the stats for an existing gun and simply describe it as a laser gun. This principle can extend quite far, such as allowing Kevlar stats to be applied to a cape, for example.

Equipment which is simply better versions of existing equipment is pretty standard in the Superhero genera. By adding a +1 to an item's Availability a player may add one of the following to an item's stats:
+
* '''Bulletproof Cape''' (Mega-Item ••)
 +
:Dur: 3, Siz: 3, SL: 6
 +
Effect: Armor +1/+0; wearable over costume or light body armor, stacks with armor of up to 2/X, bulletproof quality.
  
−
* +1 equipment rating
+
* '''Supersoldier Scalemail''' (Mega-Item •••)
−
* +1 durability (also increases Structure)
+
:Dur: 4, Siz: 3, SL: 7
−
* +1 mobility penalty (removes penalties)
+
Effect: Armor 3/2, bulletproof quality, energy ablative quality.
−
* +2 initiative
 
−
* +1 general armor
 
−
* +2 ballistic armor
 
−
* increase range by 25%
 
−
* increase size of clip by 25%
 
−
* increase its speed by 30%
 
−
 
−
These bonuses can stack, with an individual stat being increased no more than three times. The ST can choose to allow the bonus to go beyond +3, but is advised against it in the case of armor ratings and weapon damage.

==Equipment Merits & Powers==
+
* '''Multi-Bracer''' (Mega-Item •••)
 +
:Dur: 3, Siz: 1, SL: 4
 +
Effect: Contains a combination of communicator, flashlight, and radio with police-scanner, and either a wrist-grappler with 25 ft. rope as well as a double dart-, disc-, or tracer launcher (+1; ft.), or a powerful mini-computer (+2 bonus) including a 3D-scanner and a strip-printer.

Many Powers (especially when using an item-dependent Contingent Activation) and Merits blur the line between equipment and non-equipment.
+
* '''Utility Belt''' (Mega-Item • to •••••)
−
 
+
:Dur: 3, Siz: 2, SL: 5
−
As a general guideline Merits which relate to a physical item are assumed to be unique items that cannot/are not mass-produced, can be stolen, and can be used by anyone with the appropriate training. They are made-to-order for the character, and thus cost exp. The ST rules if destruction of a Merit Object returns the exp, looses it, or if possession of the merit allows the player to replace the item.
+
Effect: Belt comes with three slots fitted with selected equipment, plus three slots for each additional dot. Slots could contain ammunition clips, custom boomerang or bola, camera, climbing kit, crime-scene kit, demolitions kit, flashlight, flash- or smoke pellets, gas- or liquid container, Geiger-counter, knive, lockpicks, medkit, mini-computer, mini-toolkit, mini-powertool, mini-welder, probe kit, radio, rebreather, shuriken, taser, throwing darts, tracers, etc. Each object is custom made for the belt, smaller than Size 1 and has a Dur of 2 or 3. Objects from the belt provide a +1 equipment bonus and cost approximately Res 3 to add or replace. The Equipment Theme Merit, if bought in addition, affects every item contained in the belt.

−
Object-dependent Powers can be made not to work by stealing the object, but the thief cannot use the stolen power. It is keyed to it's owner in a technological or mystical way.
 
−
 
 
−
Equipment, even unusual equipment, can be bought and sold, and used by anyone who knows how. This doesn't mean that it can't be customized cosmetically to fit a character's theme, or that it is common place, but it's not a Power or Merit. Equipment does not cost exp, it just needs to have it's Availability requirements met.
