The Watch -- 900 OM (Requires: Ranged)

Roger's watch, worn on his left wrist. A handy tool, which features myriad functions concealed within it. Its primary function is to call the Big O, but its other uses are not to be forgotten. Chief among them are its grappling line and cutting laser tool, but it has other functions beside.

• Grappling Hook -- The grappling line is a razor-thin wire, typically almost impossible to see save for when it glints in the light. It is capped by a small hook on the end, which provides it enough weight to accurately launch it, and to hook it in place when it hits a target. It has a maximum range of 20 meters, and travels at the speed of an arrow. It functions similarly to a grappling hook, allowing Roger to scale walls, swing across gaps, or retrieve distant small items in typical fashion for such a tool; the wire is more than strong enough to bear his weight, though far from unbreakable -- a fairly strong blow, especially a cutting one, can break it. If it is broken, it takes nearly a minute to repair and re-summon the missing wire and hook. Once the hook and wire is securely anchored and grappled onto something, it can be reeled in with surprising force for the watch's tiny mechanism, more than sufficient to easily pull an average sized human off their feet, though individuals stronger than Roger or particularly large targets can resist; the line can even haul Roger himself up to a higher point at a fairly decent speed.
  
• Bladed Hook -- The grappling line's hook can also be adjusted to unsheathe small blades. Their small size makes them of only minimal use in combat, but allows the hook to be used to cut through objects with a well-placed shot, or by wrapping around and sawing through them. It is highly ineffective as a weapon, but can be an effective tool in the proper circumstances.
  
• Cutting Laser -- The watch features a laser cutting tool. It is incredibly short ranged, only reaching up to about a foot, but puts out a tremendous amount of energy, chiefly in the form of heat. It can cut through most mundane objects in a matter of seconds, and with sustained use can eventually carve through almost anything, limited mostly by its short range and small size. It is cumbersome and impractical to use as a weapon thanks mostly to its short range, but it is fairly powerful and can inflict horrible burns if successfully used. It is somewhat troublesome to use, requiring the exterior edge of the watch to be rotated, and then a second and a half for the watch face to rise up and reveal the laser emitter, though at that point it can be fired with only a thought from Roger, and hidden away again simply by pushing the watch face back down. While it theoretically has a limitless supply of power, thanks to the unknown technology used to construct it, using it for more than roughly 12 continuous seconds will cause it to begin to overheat, and can burn Roger himself quite badly; thus it is used typically in only short bursts.
  
• It can be used to remotely start and call Roger's car, the Griffon, to his location. As of now this serves little purpose other than convenience, without the car's other tools summoned yet.
  

Approved.
