The main problem is that I need to be next to people to make actually specialised equipment for the entire time I build it.
Oh yeah, I can make general support equipment too.
I'm working on an anti-master helmet at the moment.
I can make support equipment that would be useful to any heroes, not just to ones with specific powers.

Sometime later when out with a friends family on their boat Browbeat stepped off the side into the march-temperature water. In doing so, he suffered major physical trauma, nearly died, and ultimately triggered. The PRT found out about his power after the hospital notified them of his fast recovery time. His family and the PRT discussed several options while they figured out a balance of mental health and powers. Ultimately, they decided he was safe to stay for the Wards for the time being.[3]

That was an example of a free tinker trigger used in a Weaverdice document. I think Roust based Leet's trigger on that.
