Medical Supplies

[khalaine]

Here is some free info and im bored at work so . . .

Medical Supplies you can rate as you please in your game but a few ideas on how to advance it

Basic Bandage
-Basic Paper/Plastic Strip/Whatever
-Adhesive - (This can be of a lower grade, or you can have multigrade glues in your game for different things)
-Basic Gauss

to what might be like

Stimulate lvl 3
-syringe
-Steroid compound
-Something other technical
*use of random medical instrument A* (like a lab)

Just start making up crap in the end, like find normal common items and break them down into 2-5 piece core components and use that to set up the component requirements until you hit the high level like, man i gotta go read how this really works type crap

Hope that helps a little

Yeah I was thinking stuff more on the line of making different pills and stuff like that. So there can be adrenaline pills and pain pills and all that jazz. I like the steroid compound idea.

Don't call it a level one rag, call it a level one "fuse"

as in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(explosives)

hehe, :)

whoopssssss, that last one was meeeeee

[ash_castle]

fuse thats good. the rag part was a joke to emphasis my point.

Or, in the case of a molotov cocktail, a wick...

IED's are probably the way to go. You can have all sorts of different IED's, all with different specific components but all consisting of the same basic things.
PIES: Power Source, Initiator, Explosive, Switch... 4 basic elements of a bomb, homemade or otherwise.

[shy_ghost]

candles have wicks, explosives have fuses.

[craven_mage]

1: Electronics (covers electrical, computer bits, optics, etc)
2: Power (Batteries, personal portable nuclear powerplants etc)
3: Metals
4: Composits (plastics, kevlar, fiberglass, etc)
5: Chemical (all liquid/gas/solid chemicals from salt to C4)
6: Textiles
7: ?
8: ?
9: ?
10: ?

Rate each of the above on a quality rating (Low-Tech/High-Tech) or some such.

To make a fragment bomb:
2 Low-Tech Metals
10 High-Tech Composits
1 Low-Tech Electronics

To make a +8 Nuclear-powered Chainsaw of Zombie Destruction:
3 High-Tech Metals
1 low-Tech Electronics
10 High-Tech Power
1 Low-Tech Chemicals

To make a "I hate Zombies T-Shirt"
1 Low-Tech Textiles
1 Low-Tech Chemicals

This is the same concept I use in Tech Warz. I think it works very well. Keep your categories simple and generic. Dont waste one on "switches". Too limited. Allow for lots of room for expansion.

Thanks alot that is a big help. I think broadining (sp) it out more is a better idea.
