Crafted Artifact

USB 1.1

Created by Daniel Wiener, looted by Penny Roberts.
Currently At home.
a small usb device

Danile has always liked computers. Now he can use them easily without having a problem. He creates a small USB device and hands it over to the user.

Expend a point of Battery and spend 2 Actions to activate. Select a Device within arm's reach. Does not work on Alien technology. Roll Intellect + Technology, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6. The hacking roll and their defensive roll are both Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.

If your command does not require bypassing the security of the target (for example, typing on a computer that is unlocked), you do not need to Exert your Mind to activate this Effect, and activation only takes a single Action.

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.

Possession of this Artifact causes the following Trauma to manifest over the course of a day: Must be helpful to anyone with a Kevin bracelet. If you lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next month.

  • When targeting non-computer devices, you may operate switches, buttons, dials, levers, and latches.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

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

Attack by rolling Brawn + Athletics, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Outcome + 3 Weapon Damage. The target's Armor is fully effective against this damage. Attacks

You also gain the following effects:

  • Hail Storm: You may Exert your Mind to make an attack with against all targets within a 120 degree arc in front of you. Your full attack Outcome applies to each of them, but they may attempt to Dodge or Defend if they are aware of the attack.
  • 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.

The Bouncer Belt

Created and held by Norman Brown.
A Belt made out of tough Leather with a big Silver metal B in the Front

The Bouncer take his belt off put it around his knuckles and it will transform in the weapon of choosing

This belt seen more Bouncer an lunatic than any human could count he was made by B.Rogers the first Bouncer who made the belt so he could go against someone without him suspcting he has a weapon because he ist the first bouncer he dont need Weapons just a belt

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

Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact either changes into one of the following Objects, or a single spliced Object as large as the largest Object with the functionality of all: the original Artifact or Gun. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.

The new object's appearance must be generic, cannot mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), and must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.

Your Artifact makes a genuine transformation into the new Object; it is not illusory, and the Object has fully normal and expected functionality. Any functionality which the Artifact previously possessed will not be useable until the transformation is ended, or if it is one of the two chosen spliced-together Devices.

  • When transforming into a spliced Object, the resulting Object behaves exactly as if all Objects occupy the same space and do not gain any new functionality at all.

Sebastian’s Submarine

Created and held by Sebastian Solace.
a small submarine that is designed to only be captained by one, with room for 6 passengers and storage equivilant to an average pickup truck.

The submarine's interior is designed for exploration more than combat, but it is still meant to be able to take a beating, even if its best not to let it.

armor 3 and body 6 on the Submarine itself, with those inside not available for targeting (they're inside a metal tube, what do you expect lol?)

This Artifact can be used as a Small submarine. It is roughly the same size as a Small submarine but can be collapsed into submarine press lighter and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

This Small submarine has Active and passive sonar, Advanced automatic medical systems, and plenty of redundant systems. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Amphibious: Your vehicle may move on land as well as under water at its normal speed. If your vehicle includes an enclosed space, it will function as an airtight, pressurized cockpit.

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

Rune Specs

Created and held by Mike Carson.
A sturdy pair of flexible titanium framed glasses with runes etched around the rim of the lenses.

Taking the form of glasses, goggles, even a welding mask, this artifact has a ring of tiny runes surrounding the lens or lenses. When infused with power, they glow visibly to observers, though not obstructively to the user. The user can peer through several feet of solid materials to, say, diagnose damage inside an engine, find a secret mechanism behind a bookshelf, or scan someone for hidden weapons.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You may perceive things through sight within 15 feet of you with perfect clarity as though there were no walls or obstacles blocking your view for the next 30 minutes. You must maintain Concentration to keep up the effect.

You may perceive through up to 15 feet of material. The Difficulty of all Perception rolls made through a wall are increased by 1 per wall.

  • This does not satisfy the Line of Sight requirement for targeted Effects.

Dreamer's Blade

Created and held by Jade.
An ornate, slightly damaged katana that has chains dangling from it's scabbard.

In a lightning flash, you draw your blade and run it through your target, attempting to strike them down in a single blow.
Other than that, you cannot remove the blade from it's scabbard, for it is chained shut until the time is right.

Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action. Select a target within arm's reach. Roll Brawn + Melee Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling to Dodge or Defend as a Reaction, Difficulty 6.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 4. Armor is fully effective against this Damage.

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 the target suffers an Injury from this Effect, they will receive at least a Minor Battle Scar regardless of its Severity. When this Effect causes a Battle Scar, you may select which one of the appropriate level.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
