Power Board Cost: 750 Wt: 8kg Availability: Scarce
A power board is an item of sporting equipment and personal transport for the rich thrill-seeker. Power boarding is used in the popular and highly dangerous Imperial sport of ‘sky surfing'.
Users fly across the sky balanced on these flying boards, controlling their flight with body weight and a foot pressure throttle.
A board is powered by a stacked sub-atomic chain, cold-fusion micro-reactor that utilises Helium-3 (He-3) non-radioactive isotope cells similar to those found in power armour. It delivers its power through anti-gravity suspensors and delivers its forward motion through powerful rear thrusters.
The power board confers the ‘Flyer' Trait (p330) on the wearer (see p216 for details of flying), and a movement rate whilst in the air of 0-30/60/90/180. A power board is controlled by a foot pressure pads and requires a Pilot (Civilian Craft) skill use to operate. Only characters with a minimum Agility of 40 have the balance required to use a power board. Unless throttled up, the power board hovers stably at its last location. Most have a tether-cord connecting the user to the board. This prevents the user falling if he loses control and falls off. It requires a challenging (+0) strength test to clamber back onto the board after falling off.
The power board will lift up to 100kg and still be able to fly. It can lift a maximum 150kg, but if over 100kg load, it acts as a jump pack (confers the ‘Hoverer' Trait (p330)) instead. It cannot lift over 150kg.
The power core will operate the power board for 1 year continuous use.
Any leg hit sustained by the wearer that causes a critical, also has a chance to damage the power board. Roll d%; on a 96+, the power unit is damaged sufficiently to cause a shutdown, rupture and critical heat venting. Everything within 3 meters of the flight pack takes 1d10E fire damage (ignoring armour - see Dark Heresy p210) each round.
Flammable materials within range catch fire.
