Mechanik’s Union

The builders of household protection and military buildings truly have there hands full dealing with magical intruders, particularly when larcenous mechaniks come up with devices like this one. Made up of a convergence engine mounted on a wired induction belt, with arcano-conductive cables running down to a set of heavily padded and metal reinforced coil-boots These boots also have sizable springs built into the heals to give additional bounce to the footwear, as well as to help absorb shock.

When activated via the mechanikal switch on the belt [standard action] this device produces a False Gravity effect upon it wearer, [3min per charge] down being automatically set to wherever the soles of the coil-boots are directed*. Using this ability to ‘fly’ towards a surface requires  a Balance check (DC 10+). When ‘flying’ in this manner, the wearer moves at 30ft per round (+10ft per round spent in motion up to terminal velocity – 160ft per round). Flipping over so as to cancel out the falling velocity adds +1 per 10ft over 30ft to the Balance check.

The reflexive trigger activates {1 charge per activation] the landing plate when the speed of decent towards whatever surface is below the coil-boots exceeds safe limits, allowing the wearer to ignore any falling damage up to 60ft. This dissipates all the kinetic force that would otherwise be directed into the wearer into the surface it impacts upon, dealing half the falling damage that would otherwise be dealt due to the fall as bludgeoning damage to the surface.

The wearer also gains a passive +2 bonus to Jump checks while wearing the boots even unactivated.

*Note that the fall must be directed towards a solid surface not simply mid air.

*does not include standard accumulator
