Properties

Hover or tap any of these for what it means.

• gearEquipment that is neither weapon nor armor. Carried, worn, or set up and used.
• attunementBind yourself to it over a short rest before it works. Three attunements at once, and breaking one frees the slot.
• belt-mounted
• shieldHeld in the off hand. One shield at a time, and it needs a free hand.
• attunement-requiredMust be attuned before it does anything.

A belt-clipped emitter block the size of a paperback, with a haptic activation stud and a status ring that pulses cyan when charged. While attuned and wearing it, you can spend its single charge as a reaction to gain 30 temporary hit points, which last until they are expended or you finish a long rest. It regains its charge when you finish a short rest. A Tier III or lower power source cannot recharge the capacitor on a useful timescale. Halcyion Navy boarding parties wear them under their plates.

Rules

• While attuned and worn, spend its single charge as a reaction to gain 30 temporary hit points, which last until expended or until you finish a long rest. The charge returns on a short rest.
