Waist Slot

Waist slot items are either belts, or gadgets that clip onto a belt. Many of these gadgets are energy shields, which provide a regenerating source of temporary hit points - often a requirement for surviving the high-energy battlefields of the future. Here they are presented with a weakness to electric damage, but this may vary from campaign to campaign.
