This means that like everyone else Augur has their own strengths and weaknesses. These are manifested in an Augur usually specializing in a specific type of ability that they excel in compared to the others.

 ===== Equipment ===== ===== Equipment =====
 +
 +Augurs are more than capable of making their own weapons and equipment by necessity through matter shaping. There is some common-issue equipment issued to them, however. 
 +
 +==== Psypistol ====
 +
 +The //Psypistol// is a magnetically charged capacitor-driven mass-driver-based pistol issued to Augurs. The weapon is unique to Augurs due to their ability to make rapid calculations allowing them to make accurate shots with such an unwieldy weapon as a mass driver. 
 +
 +The weapon has a built-in scanner that lightly penetrates surface materials and scans their properties and base makeup for matter-shaping for Augurs without the skill to easily tell at a glance or sense the properties of a material. It can also tell carbon and gas readings in the air as well as other utilities most skilled Augurs can learn to do passively in time. 
 +
 +The weapon has a large rifle-style magazine with specialized 7.52x32 bullets with a thorium core that the Augur is trained to know the exact weight, diameter, and properties of that can be used as a smart-bullet using the firearms flip-open screen to plan bullet trajectories by using rapid mental calculations and telekinesis to guide the bullets to have some limited ability to change their trajectory for more accurate or skillful shots. Most Augurs know the exact dimensions of their bullets and can form more with acess to other metals, though without thorium it is unlikely they can guide the bullets. The fact that the firearm is a mass-driver powered by battery and capacitors means it doesn't require gunpowder and only requires a bullet and a casing to hold it and a small, easy to produce charge to seperate the bullet from its casing.

 +
 +==== Pychowatch ====
 +
 +The //Pychowatch// is a normal device resembling a common analog wrist watch but serves the function of when attuned to an AUGUR can be channeled passively both a psychics latent static manipulation and perceptual powers to channel into a holographic display and works as a kind of life-signs detector slightly less powerful than actively sensing their surrounding but useful when attention is divided elsewhere. It can be enhanced by a psychic actively by funneling psychic energy into it and acts as a weaker and less-efficient version of what some bloodhound-oriented AUGURs are capable of but without requiring the skillset. 
 +
 +The pychowatch can show the locations usually in the form of a colored dot but without actively enhancing it is unreliable as to determining more than the mood/intent of the scanned individual and can read false-positives of friendlies as red enemy dots if it reads their powerful emotions such as a soldiers passion or anger in combat reading the hostile intent and vice versa with a potential enemy not overtly hostile showing as a friendly blue-dot.
