The best you can use
Sign in and set up your character to see the best gear you can use.
Estimate with the game's fight rules: 2d10 plus accuracy against a defense of 6 plus armor modifiers; a critical hit (two tens or 10 over the defense) deals ×1.5; damage minus the armor for that damage type, at least 1 per hit; base health 60; a turn every 10 s. Natural defense, skill bonuses, range and terrain are left out.

Codex entry
- Entry 1
Hydraulic fluid pressure in the walking legs measures three times higher than any documented arthropod. The pedipalps generate crushing force sufficient to deform salvaged steel plating. Institute biologists classify the musculature as "architecturally impossible" under standard evolutionary models.
- Entry 2
Caravans crossing the eastern mesa learned to read the ground: if the sand is packed smooth in wide, sweeping arcs, a giant scorpion burrowed there recently. Old traders say you can tell how big it is by the radius of the curve. Some curves span entire campsites.
- Entry 3
Techno-shaman oral tradition speaks of a "stone that walks" - a creature that was once part of the earth and chose to leave it. Their elders warn against killing one near a settlement as they say the earth notices when one stops moving.
