Crafted Artifact

Knife of golden mist

Created and held by Bu Fang.
A knife with clouds inscribed on the blade and a golden hue to it.

A knife that's been attuned to Bu Fang restaurants spatial coordinates. Crafted with meteorite shards giving them affinity with the element of space. Allowing one to cut through space and go to where it is attuned to.
(Each knife are shackled to a restaurant. Which one is clarified in name.)

Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions to activate. If you are at Bu Fang Restaurant's, you may choose a target Location within your line of sight; otherwise, your target may only be Bu Fang Restaurant's.

You are transported directly to the chosen Location. You must wait an hour before activating this effect again.

After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.

  • Exhaustion penalties and duration stack. If you activate this Effect or another Effect with Exhaustion, your penalty will worsen, and the duration is increased by one hour.
  • 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.

The Gavel

Created and held by Rocco Marino (Rocky).
A brutal wooden bat, worn and stained from years of “cleanups” for the Napoli family.

The Gavel isn’t just a weapon; it’s Rocky’s calling card. Its scarred wood holds the weight of unfinished business, its grip molded by blood, sweat, and loyalty. Every dent is a name, every crack a story. When words fail, The Gavel speaks loud and clear.

This Artifact can be used as a thrusting sword. It is roughly the same size as a thrusting sword and just as difficult to conceal.

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

You also gain the following effects:

  • 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.
  • Virtuoso's Vessel: When using this Device for its primary purpose, you always roll a minimum of 8 dice. Excludes Effect activation rolls.

  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.

Scythe 2

Created and held by Len.
A coin that can become a gun, which can shift to look like any type of gun. It always includes the sigil of a Scythe

The Scythe is a gun which can collapse down into a rather large coin with a symbol of a Scythe.

It is always loaded and can fire if the trigger is pulled.

Hades has given Len the ability to send more into his embrace.

This Artifact can be used as a rifle. It is roughly the same size as a rifle but can be collapsed into a coin with a symbol of a scythe and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +5 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Infinite Ammo: This weapon never runs out of its standard ammunition.
  • You may spend a Quick Action to change this firearm's base stats into those of any other basic firearm.
  • Silencer: The report of any shots you fire may be made silent at will.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.
  • Changing this weapon's base type affects its range, Weapon Damage, concealability, and roll. Other mechanics of the chosen base firearm (such as the tripod requirement for sniper rifles) apply.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.
  • Rifles are +1 Difficulty to use in melee range. Sniper Rifles are +3 Difficulty to use without a tripod or in melee range. Setting up a tripod takes an Action.

Nature's Promise

Created and held by Elrick Purslane.
A gold ring decorated with an emerald

The druid is able to call forth an unlimited supply of throwing axes. Upon using the artifact, it shines bright and an axe ade of light is produced. The user is able to throw this axe and, with nature's guidance, will be able to move towards the target with a flash of light leaving fairy dust behind.

This Artifact produces ephemeral projectiles that can be used as a throwing axe. It is roughly the same size as a throwing axe and just as difficult to conceal.

Attack by rolling Brawn + Athletics, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +1 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Magic Quiver: Instead of throwing this Artifact, it is an object that produces an endless supply of temporary throwable objects. For example, bracers that allow you to throw ethereal javelins, or a sack of throwing rocks that doesn’t shrink when you withdraw one.
  • Not Quite Flying: You may Exert your Mind and use up your Movement to “follow” any attack using this weapon, traveling right next to its point of impact.

  • Created projectiles last only until they strike their target and cannot be shared or stockpiled.
  • The attack must be the primary form of attack for this weapon.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.

One-sided Iron Axe

Created by Quinn Dyer, looted by Douglas Edwards.
A standard lumberjack axe that seems to glow ever so slightly. The handle is made from a dark wood and has a leather strip wrapped around its base for grip.

When Quinn uses their axe, it shoots out with mechanical whirring. The handle now has obvious sections where the axe can collapse back into its original state. When extended, the axe is fairly bendy, looking almost comical when used. When Quinn pins with their axe, the yellow glow surrounding the axe increases in strength.

This Artifact can be used as a sword / axe. It is roughly the same size as a sword / axe and just as difficult to conceal.

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

You also gain the following effects:

  • This melee weapon may extend for a single attack up to 50 feet away. Retracting back into its usable size is a Quick Action.
  • Pin: If you Injure a target with an Attack, you may choose to leave your weapon. If you do, the target is “pinned” to that location until the weapon is removed. Removing the weapon increases the Severity of that Injury by 2.

  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.

The everlasting morphine Syrette

Created and held by Gordon McDonald.
A WW2 morphine Syrette which seemingly never is empty. The liquid inside is not Morphine, but an unknown compound.

The cap of the syrette is popped of, exposing a needle which is stuck into the area of the injury being treated. The tube of the syrette gets pressed, injecting its contents into the body. Immediately after emptying the tube, the syrette is removed and the cap put back on as the injury begins to heal.

Expend a point of Battery and spend 1 minute to activate. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome, unless it had Severity 4 or higher, in which case its Severity remains the same. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.

  • Unstabilized wounds do not degenerate during treatment.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
