The Pocket Tool described in the Alpha Dawn Basic Rulebook is an indispensable tool for both survival and everyday use in The Frontier.
Much like a Swiss Army Knife or Leatherman Multitool, the Pocket Tool is compact (negligible encumbrance), economical (20 cr) and above else, useful in a variety of situations.
While specific functions differ, based on manufacturer, model and user need, all Pocket Tools include:
- A penknife blade
- A universal screwdriver
- A small, adjustable wrench
- Vice pliers
- A hole puncher
- An electromagnet[1]
- A small flashlight [2]
Due to its extreme utility, Pocket Tools are commonly included in Standard Equipment Packs and emergency survival packs.
