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.

Randshaw Modular Pack

Created and held by RA77LE (Robotic Assistant Model-77 Light Edition).
The All-New Randshaw Modular Pack contains the highest tech gear you can possibly get! No refunds, though.

On activation, a large sphere appears around the user, of which then conforms to their shape. Attacks towards the user are fired at by a jolt of electricity, which slows down the attacks. The usage of electricity is also to help the user by sending an electric shock to their nervous system, causing them to instinctively dodge attacks.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Roll Dexterity + Athletics 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.

Body and Mind Stabilizing Band 2

Created by David Vance, given to Emily Miller.
Body and Mind Stabilizing Band: Synchronizes a person’s “shell”, the outline of their soul, with their body and now mind (thanks to a necromantic technique for Soul finding that seeks out a more complete version of a person’s “elemental) to keep them focused. Appears as a metal band bracelet with a human outline shaped hole in it, with a halo having been carved out around the head of the outline. A small maker’s mark on the inner rim reads “2”

When the band made by the above ritual is worn, it occasionally (every 4 hours or so) briefly flashes a translucent outline of its wielder’s body at peak condition (this is their “elemental”, the shell or outline of their soul), and the wielder is able to focus as if they themselves were at peak condition.

The band captures a person’s elemental, the shell of a person’s soul that is left behind in its movement, according to some of the occultist Helena Blavatsky’s teachings. By briefly redisplaying this shell over the user’s form, the user can synchronize their body with their soul at a healthier time. A necromantic ritual for “soul finding” has recently allowed David to find a more complete version of a person’s elemental, allowing this technique to synchronize a previous healthier mind as well.

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

Your Body and Mind Penalties are reduced to 0.

Clown PEZ Dispenser

Created and held by Remus Zigadenus.
A seemingly mundane PEZ dispenser with the rather disturbing head of a clown, with five plastic red noses compressed tightly inside of its internals. After enough time has passed, its contents seem to regenerate on their own.

Remus sprouted his Sticky Hand from the stump of his right wrist, now the only arm of his that remained, and spent quite some time fiddling with the button at the back of the PEZ dispenser — eventually managing to pry its plastic contents free of the container with great difficulty. Instinctively knowing to swallow the clown nose, a new arm burst forth, painted bone white and budding with freshly grown red noses.

In case it wasn't obvious from the Visual Description, Clownflesh essentially describes white clown paint and additional red noses growing from large and flat sections of regrown flesh.

Expend a point of Battery and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.

The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.

You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition. Lasts until the end of their next Contract or 1 month for non-Contractors.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the rapid vine-like growth of unnatural pale flesh budding with red noses like berries.

Healing a Battle Scar in this way leaves behind Clownflesh on the target which cannot be healed.

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

Credentials

Created and held by Momoko Tsuki.
A passport in a plastic sleeve

When the user touches it and concentrates on what sort of credentials or identification is needed, it shifts to become that. A passport, company ID, a locksmithing license, FBI credentials, etc.

Additionally, it can become wearable credentials, such as an ID badge, a police badge, and even a toy 'old west' sheriff's badge or Star Trek style comm badge. If held in place when becoming any sort of badge, it can attach itself as appropriate, whether pin, clasp, magnet, lanyard, etc.

Holographic paper, memory plastics, invisible ink, memory metals, perception filters, none of these could get the job done right on their own, and some couldn't even function as intended with normal science. Apply esoteric science via enchantment and alchemy however, and you have this.

Sadly, it was half accident after eight failures that this one finally worked. I can't replicate it, I'm not sure anyone else could either.

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

Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes into one of the following Objects: badge. 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.

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.

When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results. This will not open security doors on its own.

  • Changing the Artifact’s appearance does not allow you to conceal its Alien nature while any of its other Effects are in use.
