Items

Bugs are listening or viewing devices. Although they may be of any shape or size, they are usually very small and easily concealable. Most need to be in the immediate vicinity of a conversation (i.e., in the same room) unless they are strong enough to hear through walls. A person can also wear a bug or a wire so others can monitor her conversation. Sometimes the listening devices also have cameras for visual espionage. Some are also equipped with recording devices. The more complex and powerful a device is, the higher the number of dots required in the Equipment Background.
