Permanent gear that isn’t a weapon, armor, or a consumable — light, storage, tools, and the devices that read the world for you.

Carried items occupy 🔳 slots against your Carry Capacity. Worn items — backpacks — don’t. See Inventory for what’s reachable in combat.

A light casts nothing while it sits in your Inventory — see 👥 Carrying a Light. The Headlamp Power Armor servo works exactly as a 🔦 Flashlight, hands-free and costing no slot.

Ignition

🔥 Matches🔳 (10)2One flame each, then spent; will not strike in rain or storm
🕯️ Lighter🔳25Never runs out, works in any weather

A 🔥 Torch must be lit from an open flame — these are the two things that reliably make one. A 🎆 Signal Flare needs neither. Both may be used straight from Inventory and cost no ⚡ AP of their own.

Repair tools live with the 🔧 Repair gear: Repair Kit, 🧰 Toolkit, and the 🔧 Multi-Tool that stands in when both are empty.
