Basic Equipment
A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE (sometimes referred to as A.C. ) is a postapocalyptic role-playing game set at least 50 years after worldwide civilization has come to a slow¸ bitter end. A.C. presents a detailed post-Collapse environment filled with opportunities for adventure and discovery. Characters¸ known as "Survivors¸" cautiously comb through the dangerous ruins of once-great metropolises. No matter where you live or what you do¸ you'll want certain supplies to help you get by. Whether it's a backpack to carry your adventuring gear and the loot you find¸ items to fix your weapons and equipment¸ or tools to rebuild a community¸ the quality of your kit contributes to the success of your endeavors. A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE uses a d20-based architecture. Features include: a system of Material Attributes (MATs) that simulate the physical properties of substances used to make tools or equipment; Materiel Resistance (MAR) factors that define how much corrosion and radiation items can resist; detailed rules for applying the effects of combat¸ radiation¸ and poison; a system of Structure Point (SPs) and Armor Points (APs) that simulate the durability of equipment and tools; and craft-oriented Basic Skills that allow Survivors and NPCs to build gear designed to their own specifications. Recommended for ages 14+.
