Crafted Artifact

CoDeT (Collective Delusion Transceiver)

Created and held by MOLL(ⲩ).
The CoDeT is used to make direct connection with MOLL(ⲩ)'s dream engine. With it, the borrowed power of the Somningenium is at your fingertips. Use it responsibly. Unconscious submersion for longer than two hours per day is not medically recommended.

An intense cyan light flares from the microprocessor's spot beneath the user's skin (typically installed on the back of the neck or base of the spine). The user's irises, as well as random capillaries in any body parts augmented by their borrowed powers, emit the same light until the channeling is complete.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Choose MOLL(y) as a target, regardless of how far away they are. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you experience a catastrophic synchronization error - immediately gain all of MOLL(y)'s current traumas. If you would gain no traumas from this, roll to resist the following Trauma: 'Identity Sublimation - When using a secondary ability, roll Self-Control. On a failure, roll as though you had a score of 0 in the ability.'. Your target may Resist to cancel the transfer.

You may choose a single instance of one of the following to transfer from your target to yourself, or from yourself to them:

  • A single Power. Lasts two hours. You cannot transfer this Power.
This Effect cannot be used again for the next hour.

Whenever you transfer an Injury, it's Severity increases by 1. Whenever you transfer Mind damage or Traumas, the recipient takes an additional Mind damage.

  • If the Player that controls the selected Blood Bond target is not present and has not given prior authorization that their character consents to all transfers, the Effect fails. You cannot pause the game pending communication with a Player that is not present.
  • 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.

Hopkins' Handy Haversack

Created and held by Abigail Castodon.
A medical shoulderbag given as a gift from Dr. Hopkins to Abigail for her 14th birthday that has now been imbued with innate power.

The opening if the bag is a void that cannot be seen through and sparkled like the night sky when used.

The formation of sub spaces are still a mystery to most, but this one seems to have manifested from the desire of a dying little girl to play doctor like the one she looks up to. Dr. Hopkins' feelings for her well being were strong enough to assist in the manifestation. Anything to help that little girl. Even if it was beyond his own abilities.

Spend a Quick Action.

You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within 30 feet of you to your stash. You may only stash targets which are not possessed by someone else, and are freestanding and unattached.

You may store Objects in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside a briefcase (15 liters), and you may store up to 3 things at a time.

You may choose to equip any equipment you withdraw at no additional cost.

  • "Equip" refers to drawing a gun, putting on a piece of armor, etc. You may store or withdraw a maximum of 6 items in a given Round. Reminder: you may perform up to two Quick Actions for -2 dice each or 3 if you use up your Action, unless a different Effect grants you additional Quick Actions.
  • 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.

Rosalyn Rifle

Created and held by Buck Boone.
A beautiful sleek rifle with flower engravings climbing from the barrel to the sides. The grip of the rifle is well worn, this rifle was loved and will be loved once again.

The cravings of the rifle light up, energy traveling towards the muzzle, and in that moment, the rifle was ready to take its shot.

She's a darlin' of a weapon, sweet, aggressive, and deadly. Rosalyn will appear as a golden ring on Buck's index finger when collapsed. Buck will often kiss the ring or the barrel of the rifle before combat for good luck.

"When Buck first saw Rosalyn, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was perfect, a wonderful mix between deadliness and grace. At that moment, he knew he had to have her."

This Artifact can be used as a rifle. It is roughly the same size as a rifle but can be collapsed into golden ring 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:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Wayfinder's Key

Created and held by Julio Ramos.
A fine copper chain, hanging an antique, brass key. Used as a necklace.

Using the tip of the antique brass key, words with a golden hue, in Spanish, are written in the paper. The locked objective emits the sound of a pen click before unlocking, regardless of what it is.

Spend an Action. You must use up a piece of paper in order to activate this Effect.

You may lock, unlock, and/or open any number of doors, containers, knots, or locks within 20 feet of you. Cannot be used on Alien technology.

  • Operating some locking mechanisms through this Effect may have a secondary effect, such as a turn-key ignition on an older or cheaper car causing it to start or stop. Note that the locking mechanism itself must satisfy the standard targeting requirements (including line of sight), not just the vehicle.
  • Any mechanism that requires a key, keycard, key fob, or combination may be considered locked, at the GM's discretion. This Effect may be used on doors and containers secured with control panels or other electronic locks, but not computer security systems at large.
  • 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.

Okami-no-Kaiho

Created and held by Ryuunosuke Akutagawa.
An immense warfan that can collapse into a smaller, normal version.

The fan itself is blue with a white cloud pattern running along it's silk. Everytime it expands and collapses, it releases a harmless cloud effect.

This Artifact can be used as a Great Sword/Giant Axe. It is roughly the same size as a Great Sword/Giant Axe but can be collapsed into Normal Fan and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

  • Fancy Footwork: You may move your full Dash distance and attack in the same Round without penalty. You may also split your movement before and after your attack.

Armor of The Flaming Stag

Created and held by Edith O'Hare.
The armor is in two pieces, first a piece of fir tree bark that seems to have grown into the shape of a mask with antlers. The edges always appear to be seconds away from bursting into flames. Its only other features are two eye holes in the shape of diamonds. Second is a chest guard made of bronze that has tiny, almost invisible ancient greek inscribed on its front that tells the story of Edith's journey to Washington.

Your body becomes wreathed in protective flames whenever something tries to attack the wearer, softening the blow and cauterizing sufficiently severe wounds.

This armor used to be the mask Edith made for her hunting garb, but thanks to her adventures and dedication to her Goddess, it transformed. The armor itself is actually alive, in a way. Loyal to its owner and thirsting for adventure. When Edith dies, it will find its way into the hands of another contractor, just to help grow its legend. It has also inherited Edith's distaste for the christian church, and makes it known with the help of its owner.

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

You have 4 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.

Any Injury received from Damage that was reduced by this Armor is considered makeshift stabilized and will not degrade further. Any Battle Scar received from such an Injury is reduced by 1 level to a minimum of a Minor Battle Scar.

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: If you encounter a symbol of christianity, roll self control to not immedietly and loudly denounce it. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.
