 +==== Sunder, Broken and Repair ====
 +
 +  * Devices hit by the [[calls_effects#​SUNDER]] call cannot be used until they have been repaired by an Engineer roleplaying fixing them.
 +  * Devices that are **Broken** cannot be used until they have been repaired by an Engineer performing a [[card_draw_system|Card Draw Action]] on them, which is riskier.
 +
 +Devices in the game can become damaged by various effects and phenomena, and can usually be repaired by [[professional skills#​Engineer|Engineers]]. There are two levels of damage that Devices can suffer - **Sundered** and **Broken**. Both render the device unusable until it is repaired, but one is more complicated and risky to repair than the other.
 +
 +A Sundered device has been struck or blasted by the [[calls_effects#​SUNDER]] call, causing minor damage that prevents the device from working, but is easy to fix. Sundered devices can be repaired by an [[professional skills#​Engineer]] in the field by a minute or two of roleplayed action fixing the device. More skilled engineers take less time to repair devices in this way.
 +
 +A Broken device has suffered more extensive damage, internally as well as externally, which takes more time to fix and can be risky to repair. To fix a Broken device, an [[professional skills#​Engineer]] must obtain 1 or more successes at a [[card_draw_system|Card Draw Action]], which requires a Referee. The Card Draw Action carries the risk of failure - a Broken device may injure the people trying to repair it, permanently break or even explode! Items become Broken through different circumstances that reflect unusual conditions - using [[Quark Plasma]] Exotic Particles on a device can burn out its internals, while exposure to certain strange entropic energies can rapidly degrade most devices.
