coming in contact with Dark Jusay crystals receive damage as per the radiation factor listed on the crystal quality chart Undead coming in contact with normal Jusay crystals also receive this radiation damage as per the crystal classification chart The strength of the radiation is measured in rads per cubic inch However, undead are immune to the effects of Dark Jusay radiation because undead are immune to non object effecting Fortitude saving throws The more power a crystal provides, the higher the risk of radiation exposure by physically handling the crystals Jusay crystals when touched can have dire effects on the unprotected body The size and classification determines the intensity of the radiation given off by the crystals Please see Table 4-2: Raw Jusay Crystal Radiation Effects for more information on effects of Jusay crystal radiation exposure Example: A Dark Jusay crystal would drain 4d4 negative levels from a living creature, and an undead touched by this crystal regains 4d4x5 temporary hitpoints Living creatures that lose levels need to refer to the Player’s Handbook on restoring negative levels lost If no healing is attained these negative levels disappear at the rate of per hour Rarity Rarity is how often a certain classification of crystal is found once a crystal deposit is located Refer to the rarity column when a crystal deposit is located and roll percentage dice This percentage is how easy certain classifications of crystals are able to be found If a 100% is rolled on a percentage dice then the crystal deposit is clear and the crystals are of the highest quality and completely pure Refer to Table 4-1 for the rarity values Value Per Cubic Inch The value of the Jusay crystals is measured per cubic inch Find the classification of the crystal and multiply the value in gp/cr times the number of cubic inches That will give you the base market value of the Jusay crystal Refer to Table 4-1 for value per/cu inch Power Ratio This ratio is the maximum amount of power (EP) a crystal can support per cubic inch This power is fed to the equipment’s power supply or power plants and is converted to useable energy which powers the equipment EP output is still determined by the power plants installed into a vehicle or star ship But this power ratio is used to determine the maximum EP output the certain classifications of crystal can support If your power plants only produce 20 EP per round, you cannot use a larger crystal to make them produce more power; you just have the capability of powering more power plants Refer to Table 4-1 for the power ratio per cubic inch for each classification of each crystal Utilization of Jusay Power Sources Jusay crystals are the primary power source for the Dredan realm Jusay is considered an unlimited power source, but it can still be drained or destroyed due to excess or obsessive usage Jusay crystals radiate power depending on the classification and volume per cu inch The classification and volume of a crystal puts out a set amount of power (EP) per round Some equipment can tap into or draw more power from these crystals then the normal EP power output per round This excessive use can drain the crystals and sometimes destroy them Excessive power draws from the crystals is not suggested, but is sometimes Radiation damage Since Jusay is used as a fuel source for weapons, equipment and power plants, exposure to these crystals unprotected can cause radiation damage Living matter 84
