A pull-pin emitter that releases a focused electromagnetic pulse on detonation. As an action, throw it up to 30 ft. On detonation, all Tier III electronics in a 20-ft radius are disabled for 1 minute — communicators dead, optics blanked, cybernetic limbs locked. Tier IV electronics may resist on a CON save (DC 14); on a failure they are disabled for 1 round only, on a success they take no effect. Creatures with extensive Tier III cybernetic augmentation count as Tier III electronics for this effect. The EMP does not harm flesh directly but the secondary effects — a frozen cybernetic limb mid-fall, blanked life support — are often worse than the shot it would have taken to bring the target down.
