Lets see some examples:

The Eggo Stealth Suit		Cost: 100,000
				Dispenser refills: 2,000

	Complete with sonic dampers, thermo dampers, and R-polymers, this is
state of the art in non-detection.  Developed at CAW Co. by the scientist
that bears it's name.  Franklin Eggo has put in months of testing and
fine tuning to prefect this device.  It carries our seal of highest quality.
For protection the suit uses advanced space age materials and custom 
configuration complete with Dicote treatment to insure long term durablity.
While it is posible to increase the protectiveness of the suit.  It was
determined that weight and concealability was more of a factor that protection
because with the Eggo Stealth Suit, the object is not to be detected.
The Eggo Stealth Suit can fit into an small suit case.
	We have even installed our new astral disruptor dispenser.  It
dispenses a cloud of astraly active bacteria into the air.  They produce a
great deal of astral background disruption to assist you against the magicaly
active.
	Next year's model will contain ECM to take care of the non-standard
forms of detection.  Curent ECM creates a "white noise" field which disrupts
long and short wave detetcion devices.  However, this disruption is detectable
as such and is simular to holding up a sign that says, "We're here, somewhere."
	Because of the entire suit being treated.  The suit comes with a 
heads-up display hooked up to the scanner.  If the user has a datajack, he
can choose which direction he's looking without moving.

Game mechanics:
	On thermographic, ultrasound, low-light, and normal sight all viewers
have a +8 to see the target when it is remaining perfectly still, a +6 when
moving, and when the target is spotted a +4 to hit.
	The astral disruptor produces a cloud of magicaly active bacteria
that causes a +4 to all sighting checks in the astral.  Further more, any
astraly active creature in the cloud will suffer a 6L2 mental per turn against
willpower. Also, any spells cast that enter the cloud or are cast from within
the cloud have a +2 to target numbers.  This includes paranatural powers of
awakened critters.  The effective radius is 4m.  It increases 1m per turn
and drifts to the ground after about 30 seconds, making the effective max radius
of about 14m under ideal condtions
	As a side effect, the stealth suit gives a +2 to the level of a tactical
computer if the user has one, because of the 360 view the suit.  If the sonic
damper is shut off, this goes up to +4.

Weight: 8
Balistic: 4
Impact: 3

Problems:
 Ultrasound sighting does not work at all if within 5m of the suit.
 The thermo masking takes time to adjust between thermo extremes.
 No verbal communication.
 The powerpack will not last more than 30 minutes
 The astral disruptor is effective for only 15 minutes.  It is also
effected by high winds, rain, and air filtraion systems.
 Because the suit uses a heads-up, any mages uyseing the suit aren't "seeing"
thier targets, they're looking at a computer image of thier target.


Note: The cost to produce the suit is about 45,000 and the bactera 500
	if your doing it yourself.  However, it requires a eletronics
	shop, dicote treatment materials, R-polymer treatment facility
	armor shop, some means of preparing the alloys, the facility
	to grow the bacteria, etc, etc, etc...

Any suggestions, comments, etc...

CAW Co. is always willing to have feedback from it's clients.

(Yea, yea. EGGO stealth suit is a joke. So sue me.)
