Description[edit]
Lostech: The MechWarrior Equipment Guide is an equipment sourcebook for roleplaying in the BattleTech universe. The book contains many rules that pertain to gear, including skills, traits, and Life Paths for characters that revolve around technology. Roughly a fourth of the book is devoted to new (and newly updated) weapons and armor that characters and GMs can use in RPG campaigns. Also included are RPG statistics for all battle armor that appeared in print sources up to that point. Finally, the book contains new gear, from computers to jeeps to poisons.
From the back cover[edit]
