Legendary Artifact

Gorgon Glasses

Created and held by aaa.
At some point the glasses had captured a recording of a Gorgon, and now it shows the video of a gorgon on his glasses.

The user presses a button on his glasses and petrifies anyone around the person he is looking at. (reduces dice pools to zero)

Spend an Action. Select a Location within 300 feet. Roll Perception + Alertness at Difficulty 6. All targets within 20 feet of the chosen Location may contest by Defending or Dodging.

If you succeed, all affected targets will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and any physical actions they take suffer a dice penalty equal to twice the Contested Outcome (except attempts to escape or break the binding, which only suffer half this penalty).

Restricted targets may escape their binding by spending an Action and taking a Severity-1 Injury. Their movement is reduced by 10 feet until the Injury heals.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Turns the person who he is looking at to stone.

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

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • 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.

The Aegis-Grav Gauntlets

Created by Viktor Caetano ("Lex"), given to Akira Han.
The Gauntlets themselfs seem to be made out of some sort of grey metal, with what seems to be a small glass canister which has a swirling blue and purple liquid, which seems suspended inside. Wires also seem to be coming from inside of the Gloves attaching themselfs to other parts of the gloves some connecting to the palms of the gloves which seems to be a seperate piece of stainless steel, however when activated it seems to shimmer blue/purple. On the left gauntlet seems to be a slider when used, There would be an Option to input some code... with a hologram keyboard popping up with selected.

Looking upon the user wearing the gloves you would see them smack their gloves together before a glowing blue light, seems to come from the metal platting on the palm.

Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action.

As the user activate the program on the watch a bright light would appear from the watch for a brief second before dimming down as a light blue shimmer ingulfs the user and a timer on the watch starts ticking down it starts at "1 Hour, 59 Minutes, 48 Seconds."

The code itself is rather normal, but whatever the Protocol is placed into is supernaturally enhanced when the code is activated that causes a force field to expand from the user onto the person.

Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action. Roll Intellect + Technology 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.

Lucky

Created and held by Ted Westwood.
A Silver-barrelled Revolver with a well-worn but carefully maintained Rosewood Grip, the word "Lucky" inscribed onto the left side of the barrel. There is a single notch on the barrel.

The Gunslinger gets lucky, real lucky. Bullets miss, guns misfire or jam, switchblades break or get caught on their sheathe, the thug with a lead pipe swings too soon, whatever happens, the Gunslinger makes it out with only minor injuries to show for their misadventure.

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

You have 6 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.

Your Armor cannot be destroyed, and it always provides a minimum of 2 Armor regardless of any Armor penetration. It cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.

A Silver-barrelled Revolver with a well-worn but carefully maintained Rosewood Grip, the word "Lucky" inscribed onto the left side of the barrel. It has a tendency to hit weak points in armour and particularly vulnerable sections of the body through pure, blind luck. It can fold into an old western belt buckle, a gold leaf four leafed clover on the front.

Originally left to Ted Westwood by his grandfather, Jeb Westwood Senior, the mystic revolver, "Lucky", possesses supernaturally enhanced accuracy and power, and the ability to morph its form due to the spirit of the Old West inhabiting it, the collective subconscious of the idealised form of the time period crystallising into the weapon of the ideal Gunslinger, one who took the law into their own hands and brought their own brand of justice.

This Artifact can be used as a handgun. It is roughly the same size as a handgun but can be collapsed into Old West Belt Buckle and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +6 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: Shots you fire can 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.

The Gunslinger gains a bond with their weapon, causing it to seek to find it's way back to them on its own. The weapon also becomes unbreakable by any means.

This Artifact cannot be broken.

If this Artifact is lost and in no one’s possession, it finds its way back to its creator during the next Downtime.

Anyone but this Artifact's creator must Exert their Mind to wear this artifact or activate any of its Effects.

  • "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.

The Gunslinger seems to ignore all wounds and exhaustion, sheer grit allowing them to power through and do what needs to be done.

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

Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.

If you are Stunned, asleep, drugged, or otherwise made unconscious for any reason other than being Incapacitated, you may Exert your Mind to wake up. Any penalty which was caused by this condition is removed.

The Gunslinger wounds seem to heal at an abnormal pace, still present when observed, but vanishing when not, almost as if healing between scene changes. A bullet wound scars over, becoming a small crater in the skin, a knife wound stops bleeding and vanishes.

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

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level each hour. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active automatically count as a successful Proper Stabilization and do not deteriorate further. Any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will heal with the Injury.

You may choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that is not caused by an Injury. Recovery takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.

Fragments of a sunbeam

Stock Legendary Artifacts

Dazzle Glasses

This Effect activates whenever you are recorded. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a Non-Sapient Object within 20 feet no larger than a duffel bag (35 liters). Roll Perception + Culture Difficulty 6.

If your Outcome is 4 or higher, the target will be completely destroyed and can no longer function, though it may still be repaired. If your Outcome is less than 4, the target will be partially damaged, and any attempts to use it will suffer a dice penalty equal to your Outcome.

The Bug-out Bag

No hiker would bat an eye if they saw someone wearing this 80 liter backpacking pack in the backcountry. Those who look closer find it's made of a curious mix of modern materials and what appears to be rawhide stitching.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a 80 liter backpacking pack and just as difficult to conceal.

Your 80 liter backpacking pack holds 5 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Only you may open and close the container. Others can still destroy it to get at the contents

  • There is no cost to use your container.

This Artifact cannot be broken.

This Artifact's creator is always aware of the direction and distance to 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.

Umbrella Identification

This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a passport and just as difficult to conceal.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into an Object within the category of forms of identification. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.

The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
