I want to come up with a short list of common superhero equipment, but I can't think of more than a few, and I have no idea how to start thinking about PDCs for them, so I'm hoping to have a thread where we (a) come up with a bunch of gadgets and (b) assign PDCs to them. So here are a few items to start with:

Grapple Gun
-50' of wire with magnetic or clawed tip
-contains miniaturised winch (max weight: 250lbs/100KG)
PDC?

Super Suit
-tailored to the wearer, complete with boots and cowl
-provides +1 equipment bonus to Defence
PDC?

And... I'm out. What else can we think of?

Not sure about the suit but here's my take on the grapple gun

Grapple Fireing Crossbow(UA) Reduced Weight(8lb), Motorized Winch(speed 1 range increment per round, or 1/4 RI, 1/2 RI, 3/4 RI. max load 250lb/100kg) +6 Purchase DC.
Final Result: Super hero Grappling gun(Archaic Weapons proficancy) Dmg 1d3(peircing) No Crit. Range Increment:120ft(a bit more than your idea I know) Mag 1 RoF1 Reload Full round. Weight8lb SZ:Medium. Purchase DC:16. Res: none.

This was bothering me while I was out walking

Maximum range 360ft
sucess or failure based on attack Natural 1, Rope breaks, bolt goes off into the sky some place, normal miss does not strike anything it can grab onto cable can be retracted( at speeds listed above) for another try. Hit by 5 or less unsafe purchase Str check DC17 to remove for reset, or attempt to climb will come out after you have traveled 2d10 feet. suceeds by 6 or more, no worries.

Cool. I like it. I'll pop that into the first post when I get home. I need to come up with a list of common superhero gadgets to get us going, I think.

Wrist Watch two-way radio.
As the name sugjest a watch sized walkie talkie (professional model) that also features a working watch, no weight worth noting Purchase DC:21
