are weapons a technological item for the purpose of the easy access kit?

Just with the subjects asks.

Are weapons technological items and if you follow the rules as written could you install a weapon into it?

[breithauptclan]

Technological Items is an actual subclass of equipment. Table 7-26 in the core rulebook.

Things like comm units, medkits, flashlights, and a laser microphone.

Semantics yes i get that theres a sub class of items by that name but would weapons not be technological if they are powered a laser gun is not an analog weapon so it has to be technological in nature. [Not natural as it grows in the wild >.>]

The game distinguishes between "technological items" (the category of items breithauptclan mentions above) and "technological weapons" (weapons without the analog trait). A technological weapon is not a technological item. Compare the technomancer magic hacks Fabricate Tech and Fabricate Arms.

Okay good to know. Thanks guys. Didn't want to try that at my table. If it was a no go.

I really want an arm mounted weapon.

Have you looked at Weaponized Prosthesis?

And cable, and fire extinguishers, and handcuffs, and tape.

What is and is not considered technological in Starfinder is EXTREMELY arbitrary.

Why do I keep hearing this? There are like THREE different ways to accomplish this now. Do people not read the game they play?

Because its cool, useful, and just plain neato. Maybe i missed those books or they did not catch my eye with thier all too obvious names like "the arm Canon mod"..... what are those three options btw? >_>

I prefer cybernetic enhancements that leave your mortal flesh intact. Not cybernetic enhancements that do way with body parts. I am edgey but not that edgey dark. Why yes good sir please hack off my arm so i can attach a weapon to the stump and hold the anesthetic. @.@

[ghostunderasheet]

Also i do but i do not read ahead so if these things are higher then T5 then i have not seen them. I also do not look at other classes abilities unless i am thinking about taking them as a dip same with spells.

[ghostunderasheet]

Keeps me from getting too excited about the future that may never happen.

Arm mounted weapons just off the top of my head:

1 - Quickdraw Hideaway Limb with weapon mount - Starfinder Core Rulebook pg. 209 (This one doesn't require you to give up the limb your parents gave you.)

2 - Weaponized Prosthesis, Starfinder Armory pg. 89

3 - Weapon Spikes, Starfinder #2: Temple of the Twelve pg. 53

4 - Tetrad Rings, Starfinder Armory pg. 54

5 - Battlegloves, Starfinder Core Rulebook pg. 171

6 - Shell Knuckles, Starfinder Armory pg. 53

And I'm sure there are plenty of other options as well.
