Crafted Artifact

Cryptid Hunter

Created by Lucifer Inkz, given to Bu Fang.
Currently At home.
“What’s that boy a chupacabra?”

By placing this vest on dog Inkz can give it one more sense to utilize while tracking. It becomes keenly specialized at hunting down Cryptid creatures.

Expend a point of Battery and spend one minute. This Effect cannot be used unless Must Be placed on a dog to be used.

You automatically detect all Cryptid Creatures within 50 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.

Even while this Effect is not active, if any Cryptid Creatures come within 50 feet of you, you may roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 7 to detect them.

Even if there are no Cryptid Creatures within 50 feet of you, you become aware of the direction the closest one is in, as well as a rough sense of its distance from you.

Any Cryptid Creatures detected while the effect is active are “marked”. You will continue to detect them until the effect ends, no matter how far away they move. You will also continue to detect them after the effect ends, so long as they remain within 50 feet of you.

All Cryptid Creatures who you can sense are equally able to sense you.

While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.

  • Any targets that are marked satisfy the line of sight requirement for targeted Effects.

Created by Mister Red Bull, given to Janus Hect.
A plastic megaphone with the Red Bull™ logo on the side.

Spend an Action.

You may send a single message to all targets which are within a specified range. It can be no more complicated than a multi-page letter or a long email.

You must share a common language for your target to understand the message.

This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 1.

  • Receiving a message does not force a target to pay attention to you, and they can feel free to ignore your message if they choose. Depending on the flavor of your Gift, they may or may not be able to return to it and read it later on.
  • Generally you cannot communicate with Contractors who are not in a Contract with you.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

Knitted Green Cardigan

Created and held by Salvator.
Knitted by Grandmama

I wrote out a 900 word story about how Salvator learnt to talk and then the gift didn't save (probably because I wrote so much) and I cant be arsed doing it again. Long story short, he believes he can do anything when he's wearing his cardigan.

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

You may understand and communicate to Creatures and humans as if you are fluent in a relevant language.

  • Communing with creatures does not grant them intellect but does allow you to converse with them.

Zaino conservante

Created and held by Berlusconi Ulisse.
Dentro ci sta tutto

Solo se lo apre Ulisse si vede il contenuto, se lo apre qualcun'altro lo zaino appare vuoto.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a Zaino conserante and just as difficult to conceal.

Your Zaino conserante holds 5 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

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

If your Zaino conserante 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 your container appear normal and unremarkable.

If anyone other than you opens the container, it appears empty. Others can still destroy it to get at the contents.

  • There is no cost to use your container.

Spas-12 Pt. 2

Created and held by Nænmo Englīsh.

You know the gist. Uses Dragon Breath ammunition, igniting flames upon anything it hits.

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

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

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: Haunted by Crazy Alexi's spirit, When damaged severely, must roll a self control roll as not to "flip out". If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Any Injury inflicted is considered Unstabilized no matter its Severity. The roll required to Stabilize it is treated as though it is a minimum of Severity 6. These wounds do not heal naturally, though Effects may still be used to heal them.
  • Infinite Ammo: This weapon never runs out of its standard ammunition.
  • 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.

  • 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.
