I completely agree with Victoria. Having non-combat items contribute to CL is rather odd to me. Whereas if I buy a gladius (Roman sword. Which is what Trixie wields for CQC) I want it to increase my CL. On the other hand, Kaden's scouter example is perfect. I use Vad's as a Heads Up Display that can track targets like something out of an Abrams or F22.

Fighting to the bitter end is an advantage when your opponent does not wish to perish.
