Mechanical Familiar
The painfully cute and perky android animals serve as familiars for those
without the familiar class feature.
Operation: Now the squirrel is still cute, and still follows its master, but it
has two, needle-sharp retractable claws in each foot, and the tiny steam engine
that powers it vents through the mouth. The squirrel can attack with a full
attack, using both claws (1d2 damage each, +0 attack bonus) and bite (1d4 fire
damage, +2 attack bonus); this function requires a TN 20 Engineering check.
Squirrels sold these days are also fitted with two homing transmitters,
allowing the user to give one beacon to a companion. Thus, when a switch is
triggered on the squirrel’s hind foot, it follows the second transmitter, making
it a stealthy messenger. The squirrel can follow a beacon up to 50 miles,
moving at 10 miles per hour. It is mostly watertight, but malfunctions if
submerged in water. Activating it requires a TN 20 Engineering check. The
mechanical squirrel takes 3 rounds to start.
Fuel: The mechanical squirrel uses 1 unit of energy for every 10 hours of
use.

without setting it off.

Mortar
Mortars launch explosive shells in high arcs to land near or on their targets.
Mortars are treated like fi rearms in most respects, except that they require
their own Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat and each shot uses 4 ounces of
gunpowder. Firing a mortar is a standard action; reloading it is a full-round
action that provokes attacks of opportunity. A mortar requires 2 hands to use.
Operation: Mortar attacks ignore all cover that does not protect the target
from above. Targets with full cover have full concealment instead. A mortar
cannot fire at targets within one range increment. The mortar has a range
increment of 40’. The mortar requires least 10’ of overhead clearance,
regardless of the target’s range. The operator makes a TN 15 Use Engineering

specially designed bombs.

Seaforium Charge
Seaforium is a favorite of sappers everywhere. Dwarves developed this
explosive as a safer alternative to the catastrophically dangerous fuels used by
goblin sappers during the Third War. The material is putty-like in appearance
and can be shaped or molded by anyone without risk of detonation. Seaforium
only explodes if an external source (a detonator) provides a significant
electrical surge. The detonator is typically attached to a length of copper wire
so the operator can stand some distance away, preferably around a corner or
