A pull-pin emitter that releases a focused electromagnetic pulse on detonation. As an action, throw it up to 30 feet. On detonation, all Tier III electronics in a 20-foot radius are disabled for 1 minute: communicators and optics dead, cybernetic limbs locked. Tier IV electronics make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failure they are disabled for 1 round, and on a success they are unaffected. A creature with extensive Tier III cybernetic augmentation counts as Tier III electronics for this effect. The pulse does not harm flesh.

Rules

• Thrown up to 30 feet as an action. Every Tier III electronic device in a 20-foot radius is disabled for 1 minute, cybernetic limbs included. Tier IV devices make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw and are disabled for 1 round on a failure. The pulse does not harm flesh.
