Crafted Artifact

The Aegis Watch Mk.2

Created by Viktor Caetano ("Lex"), given to Iryna Vorobyova.
A Nice Hi-Tech watch that seems to not tell the time instead a screen that says "Welcome! Please Input Code."

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 + 2 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.

  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Pandora's Box

Created and held by Allister Wildheart.
A butifully ornate and sepsically crafted clockwork box. the outside and lid are simple structures made out of a sturdy mahogany. at the top of the box is a simple bronzed gear.

Allister uses the gear at the top of the box, unveiling the concealed complexity within. The five wooden panels gracefully contort into a mesmerizing floral arrangement, unveiling the near-infinite intricacies of the perpetual clockwork mechanism housed within. Allister adjusts the machine in real-time, adapting it to accommodate the object he intends to insert or extract from the box. this culminates with the machine assembling a bronze sunflower, unfurling to reveal a cavity tailored for the object. the process of dismantling the object is not perfect and can result in damages upon reassembly.

Spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Calibrating the clockwork of the mechanical box. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you The object comes out Mangled, damaged, and unusable. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.

You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within arm’s reach to your stash. You may only stash targets which are in your possession, grappled, or otherwise controlled by you.

You may store Non-Sapient Clockwork animated beings in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside an SUV (4,000 liters), and you may store up to 15 of them at a time.

Animate targets may Resist being stashed.

  • Containers which hold multiple things may count as a single item so long as the things within are generally packaged together. For instance, you may stash a clip full of bullets, a medical kit full of medical supplies, or a box of crackers, but you cannot stash a backpack full of miscellaneous equipment.
  • You may only attempt to store Objects which are free-standing and disconnected from other things. The use of this Effect will not allow you to sever any connections holding an Object in place.
  • The Maximum Object Size parameter is intended to roughly capture the weight / size restriction of items and isn’t intended to restrict shape. GM discretion is advised. A human being is level 4 in the Maximum Object Size parameter.

XACTS Mk VI

Created by Meng Hao, given to Cleatus Abernathy.
a rectangular object approximately 5 x 5 x 10 cm.

The Mk 6 is a rectangular object approximately 5 x 5 x 10 cm. It is a model developed by Meng Hao over multiple months of research and development. When activated and slapped on an object with the back to the object, the object will have its temporal characteristics changed. The object rapidly ages before it essentially turns to dust.
Due to its nature as a prototype, it is recommended to not be used with any object bigger than the size of a duffel bag. It is also sometimes unreliable due to its nature as well.

The Mark 6 is a innovation based off of the original XACTS Mark 1. While usage differs significantly from the original. Isolation of its effects has been put to use in multiple instances. While not working on living biological matter (believed to be due to the fact that living biological matters may be affected by quantum entanglement and to affect these matters means to be able to affect multiple versions and forms of them at the same time.) The Mark 6 works great when it comes to needing to eliminate waste or other inorganic matter such as plastic. The effects resemble natural decay/erosion. While through normal means plastic would just be grinded down to minuscule plastic bits, the mark 6 completely turns it into dust! its rather extraordinary.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Non-Sapient Object within arm's reach no larger than a duffel bag (35 liters). Roll a single d10, Difficulty 4. If you fail or botch, the Effect fails and you cannot activate it again for an hour. Roll Intellect + Technology 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.

  • If this Effect fails due to the Unreliable check, you must still pay any associated activation costs.
  • The penalty from an object being damaged will stack with itself if a target is hit multiple times, but the object is destroyed when it reaches a total penalty of -4.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
