Snowshoes

Designed to spread the user's weight in snow to prevent them from sinking into loose snow. They permit normal speed in in deep snow that would otherwise reduce Quickness to one-third normal. Quickness is halved (round down) when running in snow with these on.

Skis (per pair)

Basically a quicker way to travel in snow. They have waxed undersides to prevent snow from catching, therefore preventing any restricted movement. They have quick strap on attachments to allow most boots to be strapped to the skis. This comes with two ski poles as standard. They are bulky however, and add a +2 modifier to any Quickness or Athletics tests when worn and used in both Medium and Heavy snows. Some can be designed to be broken down, and the poles collapsible for special operations

*for the Special Operations Version

"Yukon" backpack

This large framed backpack is designed to carry alot of stuff,up to 100 kilograms through the use of advanced materials, while remaining light. Wearing at full load does add a +2 modifier for any Quickness tests (100 kilograms, though you can go as high as 125 kilos) and at 50 kilos a +1 modifier is added. There is no effects at 25 kilograms (Be happy, I'm giving you all a break. This is of course due to the laws of gravity, inertia, etc. Any problems bitch at Isaac Newton. Note that the above modifiers also reduce Quickness by the same level (such as a +2 modifier reduces Quickness by 2, +1 by 1, etc..). Conversely, for each Quickness modifier, after 25 kilograms, reduce target numbers for attacks against the character by -1 (to a maximum of -3) to reflect the increased size of the pack when loaded down. The pack features one huge pocket (most useful for clothing, and other material) that measures 75 cm and a small pocket on the bottom of the pack. The pack can handle up to a Concealability of 2 on the top large pack, and a minimum of 4 or greater. Dimensions is 100cm lenght-wise (all dimensions are expressed as looking at it laying horizontally on the ground) x 25 cm height-wise, with the width being 45 cm. The smaller pocket is only 25 cm l x 20 cm h x 10 cm w. There are many attachment straps that can fit most items, like sleeping bags, weapons, etc. Note obviously this calculates against total weight carried. Note that due to the large size of the frame, there is a dwarven version (halve all dimensions but weight capacity remains the same). Note that the "Yukon" uses the same attachment system as for the TAG FireForce system, which can be located here, at the bottom of the page. The backpack itself can hold up to 20 points of extra sheaths, etc. It is also in a smaller version, the "Yukon Light", which carries half the capacity, and half the size. It can mount up to 10 points of additional systems as per the TAG FireForce system. The number of points can be increased (up to double the amount) by 20¥ per point. The fabric is designed to be water repellant, and for an additional 100¥, can be chemical repellant as well.
