Cloaking Device
The Cloaking Device allows you to use an LCD body coating to become partially invisible. While Cloaked you can only be seen at very close range. If you attack while Cloaked, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see but will retain some of your defense bonus to all attacks. Unlike some stealth powers, the Cloaking Device has no movement penalty. The Cloaking device will not work with any other form of Concealment power such as Shadow Fall or Steamy Mist.

Targeting Drone
When this small device is activated, the small Targeting Drone hovers around your head and emits targeting laser sights.

This is a toggle power and must be activated and deactivated manually. Like all toggle powers, the Targeting Drone costs endurance while active.
