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
Biological classification remains disputed: genetic markers suggest amphibian ancestry, but the respiratory system functions equally in air and water through a membrane structure with no terrestrial analog. Institute biologists have requested the designation "unclassified" remain permanent.
- Entry 2
Settlements that dry and burn inkbloat carcasses for fuel report their fires burn a faint violet. Techno-shamans refuse to sit near the smoke.
- Entry 3
A scavenger's audio log, recorded on degraded cassette, describes finding a cave covered floor to ceiling in inkbloat markings. She said it looked like someone was trying to write something. The tape cuts out after that.
