RAIDEN’S WHIP

Nothing more than a modern-day shock collar, Raiden’s whip is a small shiv like device implanted in the recipient’s spine.  Malware like this is a common sight on prison colonies where a warden might need to stop an inmate uprising or just enjoys the gratification of doling out punishment and pain to poor listeners.

Raiden’s whip is controlled by one or more wand like devices.  In a common deployment, hundreds if not thousands of inmates will be augmented with Raiden’s whip and this cybernetic malware will be interfaced with wands, wielded by detention center guards.  There are other cases where each Raiden’s whip is linked with a warden’s wrist computer or a special communicator.  In any case, activating Raiden’s whip from any controller device is a standard action.  Raiden’s whip is a rather imprecise tool.  When the controller is used to activate Raiden’s whip against a target, anyone possessing a Raiden’s whip within 60-ft. of the target is also affected.  Anyone affected takes 1d6 points of non-lethal damage per item level of the model and is stunned for one round. Those affected can make a Fortitude save to take half damage and reduce the stunned condition to staggered.
