Sure. He takes 1 hour to maintain his first gadget. Then the next 8 hours, he "repairs" another gagdget. Then the next 8 hours, he "repairs" a third gadget. That leaves him with only 7 hours out of 24 before his first gadget fails him, so he can't get a fourth gadget going before that.

Yes, although they are obviously going to share some traits. The Delta Prime book is going to have more fun stuff for gadgeteers, including more power armor suits.

I don't see this power anywhere in Ravaged Planet. Could you give me a page number?
