Exo Kicks

The Toba have used power-assist exoskeletons for workers in various industries for centuries. As more advanced force field technologies were developed, though, the use of exoskeletons decreased - why give a Toba extra strength to lift a boulder out of a mine, or to lift a giant crate onto a warehouse shelf, when you can instead just give him a hand-held remote control that he can use to direct a forcefield to the do the same job?

One of the few areas where exoskeletons have not been entirely replaced is on the fishing ships of Novatropia. There, where conditions are often wet and slick (whether from rain squalls, or just ocean waves splashing onto the deck), a forcefield generator is too much complication and too much fuss…but a pair of exoskeleton legs to help a Toba sailor keep his balance on a slippery deck is the perfect tool for the job.

Exo Kicks bring that same technology to Rocket Dog races. Coming in a set of four, not two (of course!) Exo Kicks enhance a Rocket Dog’s ability to race on slippery and wet terrain.
