Belt Sander
A portable belt sander is good for removing the rough edges from wood, some metals, even hard plastic. Of course, particularly inventive or desperate users might instead decide to use a belt sander to burn skin and muscle away from bone. Brandishing a belt sander as a weapon is not without complications, however. It’s likely that the sander must be plugged into an outlet to operate — without power, the belt sander becomes nothing more than a rough metal bludgeon whose damage is bashing, not lethal. Hence, the weapon’s use is limited by the length of the power cord, which will be around 10 feet. Still, if one manages to connect with the device and can press it against bare flesh, the belt sander will scour and burn that flesh with the whirring ribbon of sandpaper. Therefore, attacks by a belt sander are subject to the 9 again rule.
Characters reduced to zero Health by a belt sander will suffer severe and disfiguring scars. At the Storyteller’s discretion, the character will experience a permanent –1 penalty to all Presence rolls (excluding Intimidation rolls). Dramatic plastic surgery may offset this penalty.
