Level: 6
Price: 4250
Bulk: L
Capacity: 20; Usage: 1/hour
This tiny tracking device contains a
miniaturized transponder that makes
it easier to follow and locate quarry.
Tracking bugs are usually sold on
Absalom Station to private detective
agencies and suspicious family members.
You can hide a tracking bug on a creature
as a standard action with a successful
Sleight of Hand check to pick the creature's
pocket (this usually can't be done during combat). You can hide
a tracking bug on a vehicle or other conveyance as a standard
action with a successful Sleight of Hand check opposed by the
Perception checks of anyone searching the vehicle; you gain a +4
circumstance bonus to this check due to the tracking bug's size.
Once you plant a tracking bug, you can use a custom program
(included in the tracking bug's price) to follow the tracking bug
with a successful DC 20 Computers check using a computer, a
comm unit, a mechanic's custom rig, or any similar computing
device; the GM can alter this DC to reflect environmental
conditions and other factors. The tracking bug's transponder has
a 500-foot-radius range, and you must be on the same plane as
the tracking bug for the program to function. When a tracking
bug runs out of power, you can no longer follow it.
