WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT

Due to their supernatural natures and magic rich environment that Damonics come from, virtually all of their technology is based upon or powered by techno-wizardry. This reliance on techno- wizardry and magic has allowed them to become very proficient as well as masters of techno- wizardry. The Damonics also have access to any TW weapons found in the Rifts RPG, Vampire Kingdoms and other books. Their magic capabilities and technology are such that they are able to rival that of Atlantis. Damonics also have access to technology and equipment through their dimensional markets from places like Atlantis, Cibola and to a lesser degree, Phase World.

Damonic weapons as most techno-wizardry is, that only magical or psionic characters can use them. The Damonics have also designed an energy crystal that can be recharged for 25 P.P.E. or 50 I.S.P. for use in any of the weapons. Initial creation cost of a Damonic TW-Energy Crystal is 150 P.P.E. at or along a nexus point. Energy Crystals used to power vehicles require 600 P.P.E. to create and powers the engine for five years of continuous use before needing another 600 P.P.E. to recharge. These Energy Crystals can only be recharged on a Nexus Point augmented by a Power Juncture. The Energy Crystals are worth approximately 5,000 credits each on the open market. 500,000 credits for crystals used to power vehicles. Note: Damonic TW-Energy Crystals are not designed for use with other energy weapons or techno-wizard devices.

Ultra-X

Ultra-X is a drug extracted from the body fluids of slain terra sharks and used to increase the strength of the Damonic fighting class. Generally, the bigger the shark, the more of the drug Damonics are able to obtain. Because of this, only adult terra sharks are allowed to be caught on the monthly hunts in limited numbers to ensure future stocks and stores of the drug. Those discovered with the slain carcasses or remains of terra shark cubs are fined 100,000 credits or in the case of non-damonics, in turn themselves are slain. Ultra-X is used to increase or transform a being in an M.D.C. creature with increased supernatural strength.

TW-Armor

Damonic Techno-Wizards are able to create/manufacture a wide variety of TW armor used in special operations and combat.
