**Yautja, Bio-Helmet (PL 7)**

The helmet is not only protection for the Yautja, but a symbol of their personality. Each helmet is tailored to suit the tastes of the individual Yautja. The size shape is completely up to the Yautja. A Predator operates the mask by pressing buttons with its tusks.

The features available to a helmet are infrared vision (an enhancement of the Yautja’s natural vision), ultraviolet vision, low-light vision, nightvision (darkvision), EM sensor and gamma vision. For game purposes, the gamma vision only works where there is enough gamma radiation to affect vision. Typical areas are space and outside on planets in low atmospheres. The vision is equal to normal in space and ¾ range in low atmosphere. The tracking/firing system for the plasma caster operates on an electromagnetic frequency, which can be used to "track" (+3 equipment bonus to attack rolls).

The helmet has highly advanced audio reception and transmission capabilities. Its sound amplification listening system enables the Predator to pick-up, amplify and hear a whisper 300 feet away. A loudspeaker amplifies the Predator's voice like a bullhorn. 80 decibels. Range is roughly 4000 feet depending on ambient noise. It also has a modulating voice synthesizer that allows the Predator to change/disguise its voice by altering tone, bass, pitch, etc. All language translations and status from a forearm computer are transmitted to the HUD of the helmet. Adds +2 equipment bonus to Language skill checks. Each helmet also consists of a standard breathing apparatus. This supplies the Yautja with atmosphere equivalent of the Homeworld.

**Yautja, Cloaking Shield (PL 7)**

The cloaking shield is the infiltration device used by the Yautja. The shield uses a complex design of imaging devices, camera and mirrors. The cloaking shield is constantly taking images in all directions and using the imagers to display the image to the opposite side of the wearer. The cloaking shield, while powered by an extremely powerful computer, cannot always keep up with the quick actions of a Yautja on the run. This causes a slight distortion in the air surrounding a Yautja. An extremely alert opponent can see the distortion. The cloaking shield adds a +20 to a wearer’s hide. This device comes in the form of a belt. The belt is controlled by a networked transceiver connection to the forearm computer. The device requires a large amount of energy to use. The shield can be used for 20 rounds before it runs out of energy. The shield requires 2 hours of non-use to recharge.

**Yautja, Forearm Computer (PL 7)**

The forearm computer controls many of the devices used by the Yautja. It can control the wrist rocket, the cloaking shield, the self-destruct device, the helmet’s vision modes and the plasma gun. The forearm computer also contains a language translator, a voice recorder (with 20 minutes of recording time) and is the targeting computer for the laser sight on the plasma gun. The forearm computer communicates to all of the devices by a complex series of networked and inducted transceivers.

**Yautja, Power Distribution Center (PDC) (PL 7)**

This device powers all of the items carried by a Yautja. It is a miniature fusion reactor and the amount of energy it can put out is limitless for game purposes. Each one of these items are linked to a forearm computer to act as a self-destruct mechanism. The typical delay time is 30 seconds and will take out an area of 300 square blocks (1000 d6 of damage). If the connection to the forearm computer is ever severed, the self-destruct mechanism goes shuts down and cannot be reactivated until; the link is reestablished (repair device check of 30). The forearm and the PDC MUST be equipped for the self-destruct mechanism to work. If either are not attached to the same creature, the self-destruct will not work. The PDC is equipped with “storage” points. When an item equipped with an attach mechanism is held near the PDC, it activates a unique frequency which will activate a magnetic connection. The item will be then held in place. To remove an item all one had to do it to grab the item and issue a command into the forearm computer to release it. A helmet can be setup to do this through verbal commands.

**Yautja, Survival Kit (PL 7)**

This kit is the same dimensions of a Med Kit and attached to the PDC the same way. This kit contains antiseptic lamp, an emergency food synthesizer, a vapor still, a breather mask with 2 hours of atmosphere and small flames stove.
