Omni-Tools: Omni-tools are multipurpose diagnostic and manufacturing tools as well as computers used for a variety of civilian and battlefield tasks, such as hacking, decryption, or repair. Higher-end omni-tools are equipped by Engineers, Sentinels, and Infiltrators to make use of their tech talents and powers. When activated, an omni-tool can appear over either of a person’s forearms and/or hands, and occasionally both, as an orange hologram

Omni-tools translate all known languages for the wearer, allowing for intergalactic communication and trade with minimal effort. They can all use the following programs as well: Flashlight, Scanner, Repairing items, Dispensing medi-gel, Programming and hacking, Camera, Video, audio and holographic communication. Tech skill activation bonus/penalty applies to all tech combat skills, first aid, hacking, repairing, investigation and any other tech skills.

Additional programs (mostly omni blades) can be downloaded if you have program slots.

Omni-Blade: You can extract an omni-blade as part of a melee attack. You may also leave the omni-blade out if desired, but if it needs to be withdrawn next round you suffer from a multi-action penalty, unless you have the omni-blade quickdraw program. Omni-blades can be skinned differently, like batarians use fists with sharp items all over them. Omni-blades may only have one upgrade power (cryo, incinderary, Disruptor) activated at a time.
