Crafted Artifact

White VW Passat

Created and held by Johanna Kerber.
it's a car

If someone besides the driver enters the vehicle, a small silver button-like device drops onto their shoulder. it is only loosely attached and can be removed without much hassle, the adhesive only being strong enough that the device cannot just slide off or wash away (similar to a band-aid).
This piece of equipment sends all relevant information to the on-board computer of the vehicle where it can be read. At the same time the button can be pressed and will show direction and distance to the vehicle on a small display.
Each vehicle is able to connect to three targets to monitor at the same time and will replace the oldest first.

This Effect activates whenever someone gets into the vehicle. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a target within arm's reach. “Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. The target may Resist.

Your target is marked with a small silver button. The mark can be easily removed if it is discovered.

You are aware of the marked target's vital status, injuries, direction and distance from you. This lasts for the next month, or until either the mark is removed, or you choose to end the Effect. This Artifact can have up to 3 marks active.

Your Marked targets are all similarly aware of your direction and distance from them while the Mark is active.

  • When triggered, the Effect activation resolves immediately after the triggering Action. It is not Reaction speed.
  • Marked individuals satisfy the line of sight requirement for targeted Effects.
  • 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.

This looks and works like a VW Passat, an ordinary, but reliable car. It has been tinkered with and contains both enforced walls and the ability to be shrinked down to a keyring pendant that looks just like it.

Trust me, it's just very well optimized, nothing magical about it.

This Artifact can be used as a VW Passat. It is roughly the same size as a VW Passat but can be collapsed into a toy car keyring pendant and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

This VW Passat has armored walls. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

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: Responsible Driver (You have to roll Self Control if you want to disobey road traffic regulations). If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

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

The vehicle this advanced air filter is built into will try to filter and detect all toxins and similar out of the air.

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

You get +2 dice to any Body resistance rolls you make. You also gain the following effects:

  • Internal Awareness: You are automatically aware of and may diagnose any disease, toxin, drug, or similar which enters your system.
  • Got It Bad: If you fail to fully resist an Effect, your Outcome is considered to be 0.

  • These bonuses apply only to Body rolls made to resist Effects and other supernatural phenomena. They do not apply to other contexts such as attacks made while under the Creature Transformation Effect.

Parasitic Tool Bag

Created by Bruno Pegul, given to Mike Carson.
A brown canvas tool bag with molle webbing and a shoulder strap. Appears normal when opened by others, but when the owner unzips it, the zipper "teeth" turn out to be actual tiny grey pointed teeth covering a disproportionately large inner chamber that feels uncomfortably like the inner flesh of a mouth.

Bruno creates a bag by coating the inside of the bag with his blood. After a day, the bag absorbs the blood and comes to life. It requires raw meat to live. A new owner can bond to the bag by feeding it some of their blood over two days. The bag can't see, but it can purr, growl, and whine based on its mood.

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

Your shoulder bag holds 3 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

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

If your shoulder bag 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.

This item is a living thing. When targeted, it counts as a Living Creature in addition to its other target types. If destroyed or abandoned for more than two days, it dies and becomes unusable.

  • There is no cost to use your container.

Illuminati Illuminator The Second

Created and held by Dominic West.
A pen that when held to another object draws energy from the holder, absorbing nutrients to fuel the creation of them creating a camera lens on the item that can be found as easily as a mundane bug

Dominic has learned to tap into the bugs, cameras so tiny as to be microscopic, in the world around him. Proving that he was right yet again! The Illuminati does indeed have eyes, ears, and all other manners of things everywhere! He doesn't know how or when they started planting them, but they did and they are even within the deepest sanctum and within your most trusted devices.

You place a ward, which is fixed to a target Object that can be moved and repositioned. You can perceive with all your senses or activate investigative Effects through the ward as though you were standing at its location. You may have at most 3 wards running at once.

The ward requires Concentration to monitor, though it will remain active until you deactivate it. It can be detected with a roll and destroyed through mundane means.
