The whirring sound of the pump alone occupied
the room for a moment. A lull in the heated debate
taking place. “What we need to do is decapitate this
‘Emergency Response’ team in one devastating attack.
Kill General Thompson and the whole thing will come
crashing down around their heads!”
The Savant hissed and almost rose out of his
wheelchair, the whirring sound increased in tempo
with his agitation as the pumps on the back of the
chair, the pumps then went straight into his back in
order to force his lungs to inflate, struggled to keep
pace with the beating of his artificial heart “That
man is still my friend. Don’t ever discuss a plan to
harm him again or I guarantee you won’t like the
consequen…”
The meeting fell silent again, except for the sound of
the coughs wracking their frail leader. He sunk back
into his wheelchair, eyes rolled back in his head, and
it seemed for a tense moment as if he would die right
there before their plan could even take shape.
His private nurse pressed a mask of pure oxygen
to his face for a moment, and then he was back. The
pumps slowed to a regular pace again and he returned
to the room, to consciousness, from the brink of death.
His subordinates exhaled. This old wreck of a man
was the only thing keeping them together. They all
knew it. Without him they’d turn on each other like a
pack of hungry wolves.
The younger man spoke again, teeth clenched with
frustration “All I’m saying is to consider the option
Sir. Don’t let sentimentality…”
“Ophelia. Laertes.”
In a moment the man was on the floor. The room fell
silent as the two massive dogs at the old man’s side
leapt through the air, knocking him from his chair. His
moans and their growls were the only sounds in the
room for a moment, save for the constant rhythm of
the breathing pumps. Finally only the growls and the
whirring remained.
“Ophelia. Laertes.”
The dogs emerged from under the table, tongues
snaking out to lick the blood from their muzzles. They
settled back at their master’s side, ears cocked for
his next command, eyeing the room intently, sizing up
targets.
Again the sound of the pumps alone filtered through
the room, “Does anyone else have anything to say
about my old friend?”
Welcome to Blood and Circuits, an item creation
and equipment resource for use with the d20 Modern
roleplaying game. This book presents new classes,
feats, and options primarily for Smart Heroes, though
all heroes will find something in this book to benefit
them. For the GM this book also provides a window
into weird and super scientific achievements found in
literature and comics, allowing for the creation of all
sorts of wonders and terrors to fill his campaign with.

The Savant paused for a moment as security removed
the Captain from the room. A blood soaked cloth
covered the mangled ruin of the man’s face. He
whimpered pitifully as they lifted up the stretcher,
“Take him to my operating theater, I’ll tend to him
when we’re finished here.”
“No. Liberty Tower and Rock City are too well
defended. It’s a poor choice for a first operation. Is
anyone here familiar with Camp X?”
The Savant smiled as the men shook their heads,
“No, I don’t suppose you would be. It’s been out of
service for some time now. It was a training camp
during the Second World War for special operations
personnel from the United States, Canada and Britain.
It was abandoned against my will. A perfect place to
begin.”
One of the Lieutenants spoke up, brow furrowed
with worry, keeping his voice carefully neutral and
non-confrontational. No one wanted to be the next
faceless mess removed from the room.
“But Sir, if the camp has been abandoned so long,
won’t that make a poor base for us?”
The Savant just smiled again. “There’s something
there. Something very valuable. It will give us all the
advantage we need. Now if there’s nothing else, make
preparation for an assault.”
“An assault Sir?”
“I said the base was abandoned, young man, not
unguarded. Expect heavy resistance. Issue EMP rifles
to all assault agents. We leave within the hour.”
He reached back and touched the hand of the nurse
behind him, “Take me to my operating theater. We
must tend to the Captain. Ophelia. Laertes.”
His men watched as their leader was pushed from
the room, flanked by the massive dogs.

Armorer
The armorer loves being in combat but hates getting
thumped. To that end he has found better ways to
protect himself, allowing him to hang in the most
brutal firefights longer. The armorer prefers to be in
This chapter presents new advanced classes, most
aimed specifically at the smart hero base class. These
classes specialize in one or more forms of item
creation presented later in this book.

gains a special ability to use guns of his own design in
combat through his knowledge of their intricacies. The

Combat Engineer
Combat engineers are skilled at building
structures quickly and efficiently. If you need
a road or a wall in a hurry, especially if you
need it in a combat zone, the combat engineer
is your man. Since building things quickly
involves getting rid of things in his way the
combat engineer is also skilled at blowing
things up. Unlike many other builders combat
engineers are often concerned with getting things
done now rather than making an artistic statement
