==Overview of Technology and Weaponry==

Flamepunk is based off Cyberpunk, and one of the great joys of Cyberpunk is ''stuff''.

Let's face it - you could be the toughest street warrior in the city, but if you're running around in your skivvies with no tech save for a combat knife, you're going to get seriously burnt by the Guild Hellforged with Hellblade, Pyre-Caster and Fractal Ceramic Armour. You could be the hottest blazer that the world has ever seen, but unless you have a tooled up Obsidian deck, you're not going to be worrying the Church of Holy Flame with your flamerunning antics.

But to tool up, you either need a sponsor who can buy you the stuff you need, or a serious chunk of cash.

Happily, character generation gives you a serious chunk of cash, and the jobs you run will bring in even more.

Let's go shopping.

-Obviously this isn't enough, so you'd better start earning some more, right?

-==Encumbrance==
-Almost all Equipment has an '''Encumbrance Value''', representing how heavy and unwieldy they are to use. Characters can only carry a combination of equipment with a total Encumbrance Value equal to or less than their ''Focus''. For most player characters, this means total Encumbrance cannot exceed 6 points.
-Note that the "Tank" physical trait increases this Encumbrance maximum.
-<br><br>
-==Mobility Penalties==
-Some particularly unwieldy equipment also has a '''Mobility Penalty'''.
-Mobility Penalty from different pieces of equipment is added together and applied as a total Mobility Penalty to the character.
-A character with a Mobility Penalty who attempts a ''Move Action'' pays a surcharge of dice equal to the Mobility Penalty to attempt the action. For example, if a character wants to make a 3-dice move action and he has a Mobility Penalty of 3, then the action instead costs him 6 dice to attempt, though he still only gets to roll 3 dice.
-Note that the "Tank" physical trait offsets mobility penalties to some degree.
