Far Out Finds: Utilty Belt

A utility belt has compartments in the following sizes and configurations:

Compartment Sizes (for reference)

• Small (big enough to hold a roll of dental floss or two large marbles)
• Medium (big enough to hold an X-acto knife or carton of cigarettes)
• Large (big enough to hold a flare gun)

STEP 1: Compartment Combinations (1d8)

MISHAPS
Select appropriate situation and roll for mishap on 1d4.

Too many undersized objects in an oversized compartment

1. cannot free objects for this round (too full or object is "stuck at the bottom" of a large compartment)
2. opening causes overstuffed objects to tumble to ground, lose initiative this round
3. same as 2 but enemies roll to see if you are detected
4. same as 2 and 3 but objects cause tear in compartment making it useless

Oversized object(s) in compartment

1. object tears whole in bottom immediately, rendering compartment useless
2. opening causes oversized objects to tumble to ground, lose initiative this round
3. same as 2 but enemies roll to see if you are detected
4. same as 2 and 3 but objects cause tear in compartment making it useless

 Comingled objects in compartment

1. wrong object selected, improvise or miss turn
2. wrong object selected, miss turn, improvise not allowed
3. correct object selected, drop second object of GM's choice
4. correct object selected, take no penalty

Enjoy!
