Other Specialty Items

Stealth Camouflage

Stealth camouflage is a cover-all term for handheld devices that, when activated, render the user nearly completely transparent, though they can still be heard and detected by thermal sensors. Stealth camouflage can be activated as an action, causing the user to have advantage on Stealth checks against being seen, and automatically succeed them if they are completely still. Stealth camouflage can not affect anything larger than Medium. Stealth camouflage comes in two varieties depending on the era:

  • During the Cold War, the first technological stealth camouflage was developed by Militaires Sans Frontières, and would later be inherited by Diamond Dogs and Outer Heaven, though these prototypes posed the risk of potentially deadly radiation leaks. At the end of each turn a creature has stealth camouflage active, they take 2 (1d4) necrotic damage. Additionally, this version can only run for 1 minute before needing to be recharged over the course of 1 minute.
  • In 2005, U.S. scientist Hal Emmerich developed an improved version of stealth camouflage that completely negated the threat of radiation leaks at the expense of durability. If the user takes 18 damage or more from a single attack while the stealth camouflage is active, it breaks and must be repaired by a creature proficient in tinker's tools over the course of 1 hour. Additionally, this version can only run for 1 minute before needing to be recharged over the course of 10 minutes.
