Named for the legendary inventor of this weapon, a kalanaya consists of a medium-length blade attached to a circular guard with a grip running through the center of it. The idea behind the weapon is that it is usable no matter the orientation of the wielder towards the ground – the blade can slide around the circular guard to any orientation needed simply as part of making an attack or block action. Classical versions rely on the wielder’s strength and agility to re-orient the blade, while moden versions of the weapon use precision servos and accelerometers to predictably re-orient the blade. When attacking a target armed with a kalanaya, a flanking attacker only receives half the normal bonus to attack from flanking (+1 instead of +2). Both versions of the kalanaya can benefit from the Lissonian Molecular Blade upgrade.

WEAPON MODIFICATIONS

Lissonian Molecular Blade [Equipment Modification]
Upgrade Slots: 0
Availability: Restricted
Cost: 2000 Lissonian Exchange Units for a melee weapon, 20 credits for a piece of ammunition
Restriction: This upgrade can only be applied to Lissonian-manufactured weapons which deal slashing or piercing damage (except for bullets). It must be applied to the weapon or ammunition in question when manufactured.
This upgrade utilizes the cutting edge in Lissonian materials science to create a self-sharpening graphene blade that cuts at a molecular level. This adds an extra die of damage to the weapon and turns the blade pitch-black, making this upgrade easy to identify visually.

EQUIPMENT

Adhesive Gloves
Cost: 300 Lissionian Exchange Units
Weight: 1 kg
This item is common in Lissonian space, especially on Lisson, and is also becoming common in Calengil space as well. Lissonian dwellings and cities harken back to the time when they were an exclusively tree-dwelling species, so a fair amount of climbing can be required to get around them. To aid visitors who aren’t skilled in climbing, these gloves were developed. Appearing to be a pair of ordinary black gloves with a thick cuff around the base, microscopic inspection reveals microchannels crossing the glove’s palm and fingers. These microchannels fill with a slightly tacky adhesive contained in the cuff when the gloves are pressed against a surface. This adhesive gives the climber a +2 equipment bonus to their Climb checks. Each pair of gloves contains enough adhesive to climb 750 squares before requiring a recharge. Replacement cuffs can be obtained for 20 Lissonian Exchange Units.
