Traits Uncommon, Bomb, Consumable, Grenade^, Tech^
Hands 1; Bulk L; Craft DC 20
Grenades are explosives that can be thrown anywhere within 60 feet, with an area of effect as a 20-foot burst. However it is similar to beads on a necklace of fireballs where if it is a particularly difficult situation the GM may ask you to make an attack roll (treat as a bomb: martial proficiency with a 20 foot range increment).
Grenades need to be armed before activating, and go off at the start of the user's next turn after being primed - regardless if it has been thrown or not. When a grenade goes off, targets in the area of effect usually have to make a basic Reflex save; the DC and effect depends on the grenade.
Activate (1 action) Interact; Effect You arm the grenade. It will activate at the start of your next turn, whether you have thrown it or not.
Activate (1 action) Interact (ranged); Effect You toss the grenade at any area within 60 feet. If this action is disrupted - such as by a critical hit from an Attack of Opportunity - you drop the grenade on the ground directly beneath you.

Activate (2 actions) Interact; Effect You project an image from one of the holograms stored in the generator's memory banks within 500 feet. The type of image depends on the colour grade of the hologram generator (see below), but must fit within a 20-foot burst. Any creature that touches the image or uses the Seek action to examine it can attempt to disbelieve the illusion with a Will Save.
| Grade | Level | Hologram Type | Will DC | Extra Traits | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brown | 1 | Static image only | 15 | Uncommon, Visual | 15 gp |

| Blue | 13 | Animated image with sound and touch (see below) | 31 | Rare, Visual, Auditory, Force | 3,000 gp |
Blue grade hologram projectors enable the image to interact with the environment through manipulating graviton fields. This allows for creative uses as the following:
- If a creature is generated, it gains the minion trait (acts on your turn, gains 2 actions with Command an Animal). Its attack modifier is +14 and any DCs it may use for offensive abilities is 22. Any damage it does is equal to 20 damage or what the projected creature would have dealt (including resistances), whichever is lower. This damage is always force damage.
- As an example, a creature with slashing resist 5 being hit with a project creature's attack that would have dealt 15 slashing damage before resistance would take 10 force damage.
- If a barrier is generated, the barrier has Hardness 10, HP 40 (BT 20).
