(Not sure if it's ok to ask this here, but since when it comes to Eight it's mostly about audios, I thought I'd put it here.)
Any Eighth Doctor fans here? 🙂
There is this tabletop game (Time of the Daleks) and I'm planning to add Eight. But each Doctor has a set of equipment to help them in the game and since I haven't listened to that many Eight stories yet, I'm not sure what to give him yet.
The clothing is always an option, but maybe I could add something more meaningful, any ideas?
(It doesn't neccessarily need to be something you'd automaticly call 'equipment' - like one of Nine's ones is a banana 😀 - just something that belongs more to the Doctor in question than to the others.)
Some other examples are: Nine also has the burning TARDIS keys from Father's day, Ten has his 3D glasses and fob watch, Eleven has the nanorecorder from the first Silence episodes and also the gizmo he built in The Lodger ^^... And gave Twelve the mini TARDIS from Flatline... Just because I thought it was adorable. ^^ Also gave War the keskan fruit juice from his first box set.
(The bonus you get from the equipment is the same, but it helps more if you match the right Doctor with the right equipment.)
((Although, it's WAY more fun to watch Nine running around wearing Four's scarf and a fez.  )) |

Does spontaneous amnesia count? XD

Some gadget only 8 uses?
Hmm.
Well, he is very fond of his ever lasting matches which pop up in his audios more than in the audios of other Doctors (or maybe I am just mis-remembering). The fact that they are not really ever lasting is cause for some banter between "Eel" and Charley in Caerdroia for example, but they also appear in Seasons of Fear and as far as I remember also in some of the box sets.
And in Doom Coalition he uses River Song's holo-emitter, or whatever that gadget is called, several times to disguise himself as some of his enemies (and to creep his companions out).
Nothing else jumps into my mind from the top of my head....
maybe that bigger on the inside messenger bag and leather jacket that the 8th Doctor carries on the box sets artwork, it is part of the costume that Paul McGann made up for giving his Doctor a new look.

The 90s books and some audios give him a purple Volkswagon bug that is tricked out for speed like Bessie was. (License plate WHO-8 on one of the "Dark Eyes" covers)
He makes a point of carrying a set of lockpicks in the audios.
He uses the psychic paper in the short trip "Turn Of The Screw."
EDIT: Clarified the model of Volkswagon

Thanks for all the answers everyone! ^^ The ever lasting matches one is a definite winner, it just has such a very Doctor Who-ish sound to it.  The lockpicks one would also sound good... though I wonder wouldn't the sonic screwdriver make those useless? Or is Eight's sonic not quite as powerful yet? Psychic paper is already in the game to use for all the Doctors (so is the sonic screwdriver). Amnesia... I can't really think of how that could be helpful. xD The holo-emitter also sounds like a possible choice. Thank you very much! ^^ |

I have a feeling there might be one or two floating around |

How’s about his ‘regeneration goblet’ from Night of the Doctor too?! |

Thank you very much! ^^ If you want to make it period-specific, Eight spent a bit of time in exile on Earth having to remake a lot of his equipment from scratch while the TARDIS regenerated. Father Time has him carrying around a sonic briefcase, which functions more or less as his screwdriver, just with components made out of those available in the 1980s. He has a violin in The Year of Intelligent Tigers that plays a pretty pivotal role. What else... Would K9 count as an NPC or a piece of equipment? He has access to Mark II by the end of The Gallifrey Chronicles. |

Oh my, he has a violin?!  And he plays it too I presume?!
Well, that is a complete game changer. ^^ I have a soft spot for the Doctor with instruments. <3
Twelve already got his guitar in the base game and I've added the sadly-never-named musical instrument from "Dalek". ^^ A violin should be a fantastic addition, thank you! ^^
And K9 is already in, also for all the Doctors to use the same way. |

Ok, one last question, anyone has a favourite Charley quote? |
