Crafted Artifact

Kasa-Chan

Created by Lucy (Lucky) Grey, given to Chika Takahashi.
See-through umbrella with neon looking led lights that can be programmed at the owner’s leisure. The blunt metal tip makes this into a clever weapon, and a secret button in the handle releases an electric shock, almost like that of a taser, that serves to stun an enemy so that you may flee.

These umbrellas are produced by “The Armory” and created to withstand any force, and can also work as a thrusting weapon.

This Artifact cannot be broken.

  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

"Raven" Advanced Reconnaissance Power Suit

Created and held by Alan Reid.
An Advanced Reconnaissance Power Suit (ARPS). It is a lightweight suit with 1/4 inch thick titanium plates providing 3 armor. It is thin enough to be worn under clothing, although it is obvious there is something underneath. The suit comes equipped with jet thrusters on the arms and boots of the suit which allow the user to fly freely through the air.

When used, Jet Thrusters built into the suit propel the user into the air.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

As long as you are conscious, you are immune to falling Damage. Additionally, you may glide as you fall, traveling 35 feet horizontally for every 10 feet you fall. While gliding, you fall at a minimum speed of 10 feet per Round.

You may ascend into the air and fly using your Jet thrusters on arms and boots. You require 5 feet of clear space on all sides to fly. You may add 50 feet to Movement you take while flying. If you take more than a Severity 4 Injury to your Jet thrusters on arms and boots via a called shot or Battle Scar, you can only glide until they are healed.

You are subject to the following effects while gliding or flying:

  • Earthbound: You cannot fly or glide in an atmosphere thin enough to be unbreathable.
  • Weight-Limited: This Effect is suppressed any time you are over-encumbered.

  • Any penalties to dice or movement, including from Encumbrance, are applied as normal. If your movement is reduced to 0 due to encumbrance, you will begin to sink down to the ground.
  • You may activate this Effect while in midair, allowing you to slow and survive any free fall.

stample's heavy action rod

Created and held by Stample Clog.

fishin'

Spend an Action. Select a target within 20 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless the target is in a body of water. Roll Brawn + Firearms at Difficulty 6. The target may contest by Defending or Dodging.

If you succeed, your target will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and, if your Contested Outcome was greater than their Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.

The target may spend an Action and roll Brawn or Dexterity + Athletics to attempt to break free. They must accumulate a total Outcome equal to or greater than the original Contested Outcome to escape. Damage to the binding from outside sources also contributes.

You may use this Effect as a Reaction to contest any physical Action a target is taking. Excess Outcome does not restrict the target.

This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.

  • You must retain Concentration to keep up the effect; if your Concentration is interrupted, the effect will end.
  • For entities whose movement could be considered an attack (e.g. a kaiju), the GM may rule that they are merely slowed instead of fully restricted.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Ring of Tessivar

Created and held by Eldrienne Tessivar.
A golden ring inlaid with Silver marked with runes.

When activated, the ring glows momentarily before ethereal armour covers Eldrienne from head to toe. Her thoughts and designs given form.

Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action. Roll Intellect + Crafts at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

The barrier will fall after two hours, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.

  • Effects which circumvent Armor completely also circumvent your barrier.

Another rune etched upon the ring, the visual effect is limited but when someone places the ring upon their finger they feel a warmth emanate through their body.

The Ring of Tessivar is so named for the fact it holds a fragment of Eldriennes' very being. As such, she is always aware of it and those who hold it. This isn't without flaw though, for how can one rest if they are not whole?

This Artifact cannot be broken. If this Artifact is lost and in no one else’s possession, it finds its way back to its true owner during the next Downtime.

By default, the creator of this Artifact is its true owner. The true owner may formally bequeath this Artifact onto another person within arm’s reach, after which they are its true owner. If the true owner dies or is destroyed, their ownership ends. If this Artifact has no true owner, anyone may spend one day attuning to it to become its true owner.

This Artifact's true owner is always aware of the direction and distance to this Artifact.

If this Artifact is used by someone other than its true owner, its true owner is alerted and learns the user's appearance, direction, and distance at that moment. The true owner may use a single investigation Effect on them once at any range.

This Artifact's true owner must have it with them to have restful sleep. They cannot regain Mind or Source while separated from this Artifact.

  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

Another rune is etched upon the Ring of Tessivar, when the gift bearer wills it it glows, her will transforming the ring into a blade. A blade she spent months visualising the perfect weapon to accompany her journey to dominion.

This Artifact can be used as a sword / axe. It is roughly the same size as a sword / axe but can be collapsed into The Ring of Tessivar and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Attack by rolling Brawn + Melee, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +4 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Blade Breaker: If you successfully Defend against a melee attack or if an opponent is unsuccessful at Defending against your melee attack, you may break your opponent's weapon.
  • Shredder: If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.

Grim Necklace

Created and held by Neil Ashworth.
A silvery necklace, with a small, deep red gem set in the middle of it. The surrounding metal seems tinged a darker shade.

The deep red gem at the centre of the necklace releases a cloud of black miasma, which coalesces into the form of a horse, capable of running long distances without tiring, or needing food or water. It can be recalled into the necklace at will.

This Artifact can be used as a Shadow Horse. It is roughly the same size as a Shadow Horse but can be collapsed into a necklace with a deep red gem in the centre and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

This Shadow Horse has Plate Armour, Saddle, Reins. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Flying Solo: Your vehicle cannot have any passengers.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.

Duck Prime

Created and held by Gind Moblin.
The first of Many

When shrunk, the container becomes a specialized rubber ducks based on what is inside. Medical supplies? Doctor duck. Food? Chef duck. Grenades? Grenade. When expanded they become the original object, but with ducks printed in various patterns and poses. During expansion/shrinking the object goes through an anamorph style transition.

Your Artifact has a normal storage capacity, but can be collapsed down to a pocket-sized version without losing any internal storage. You cannot access the contents while it is collapsed. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Living things can be stored in this Artifact. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the Artifact in the process.

If this Artifact is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of this container appear normal and unremarkable.

This item is a living thing. When targeted, it counts as a Living Creature in addition to its other target types. If destroyed or abandoned for more than two days, it dies and becomes unusable.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: Substance Addiction (Baked Goods): You are addicted to baked goods. Any time you encounter baked goods, you must roll Self-Control. If you fail, you must consume it, and if you botch, you will Overdose. You are unable to regain any Mind from resting unless you have consumed baked goods that day. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • A container of holding cannot be placed inside another created by the same Gift.
  • There is no cost to use this container.
