Gnomish Cloaking Device

Description: The harnessing of chaos energy has given tinkers a more level playing field when dealing with a world of arcane magic. This technology is new and dangerous, and isn't seen in many devices, but it shows up in unlikely places. Chaos Generators Thought at first to be magical, as it can sometimes mimic the effects of arcane magic, chaos energy is purely mechanical in nature. A small box contains magnets, several differing kinds of metal, steam energy and a tiny golden core that vibrates at a high frequency when powered. This bizarre mix creates strange results. The chaos energy that is generated needs to be funneled to power a device, else it begins to break down the generator itself. If a generator builds up too much energy, it explodes, causing one of the following effects: 2d6 Effect 2 2d6 points of damage to all creatures in a 5-foot radius 3-5 One item on each creature in a 5-foot radius is destroyed (GM's discretion) 6-8 Every creature in a 5-foot radius loses 1 point of Strength for 2 hours 9-11 1d4 points of damage to the creature closest to the generator 12 Knocks unconscious 1d6 creatures within a 15-foot radius Chaos energy is highly dangerous; some believe it actually is equivalent to arcane magic, although it can be harnessed by tinkers. Any device using chaos energy has a minimum MR of 3. Political maneuverings by wizards in Theramore have caused the ruling body to declare chaos generators unlawful, but the goblins and some gnomes still manage to research and develop new uses for chaos energy. The Horde hasn't outlawed the usage yet, as it is not arcane magic, but they are suspicious of it because of the similarities. Bare-bones chaos generators can sell for 1,000 gp in Ratchet; they cost considerably more in the black market of Theramore and other Alliance cities. TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICES Although incredibly useful, the boots are heavy, each weighing 10 pounds. They reduce the speed of the wearer by -10 feet (negated if the springs are active). Malfunction: The wrong function is activated, forcing the user to wait 3 rounds to reset the boots. HR 3; 5 hp; Size Tiny; Weight 20 lb.; MR 3; TS 4; Craft DC 13; Price 250 gp. Goblin's Lock Pick
