Jetpack (3.5e Equipment)

Jetpack


Jetpacks are extraordinary mechanical devices created by gnome engineers in an attempt to achieve flight when magic was not an option. The jetpack takes up your shoulders slot and is composed of a backpack tank of alchemical F.U.E.L and two metal pipes that end in rotating ball joints with vents in them. The rotating exhaust ports are controlled by a connected pair of wires that run down the legs. By gesturing with the legs and flexing certain muscles, the device is controlled. Because of the complex and exotic methods of control, it requires a DC 15 Profession (pilot) check to start and stop a jetpack, and DC 20 operate until familiarity is achieved.

The jetpack carries you along at a fly speed of 40 ft. (perfect) and consumes F.U.E.L as it does so. For each ounce of F.U.E.L, it can fly for 1 minute. Its tank holds 10 ounces of fuel, and takes a full round action to refill.

The jetpack is considered a vehicle as well as a wearable item. It can be targeted on its own, possessing your AC and saves, hardness 10, and 30 hp. Critical hits against it do not multiply damage (as normal for object) but do deal an additional 1d3 fire and 1d3 acid damage from leaking fuel. The jetpack weights 10 lbs, and can be donned as if it were a suit of light armor (typically 1 minute).
