Crafted Artifact

Chester

Created by Winsley Herman, given to Mel.
A large black briefcase. Made of real leather and stamped brass. A handle and a over-shoulder strap are available. The initials W.H are stamped into the side. The two locks on the top are made to resemble glass eyes, though it does allow the briefcase to "see" if whoever is opening it is the owner. The insides are quite spacious and padded. If the owner isn't the one to open the container the briefcase temporarily swallows the items inside and pushes up its "tounge" (the bottom of the briefcase) to resemble a normal briefcase. otherwise its just as spacious as a magical container would be.

You link your mind with your object allowing for it to take your burdens away. You no longer feel pain or stress. In return the object feeds on your innermost thoughts. Trust me you won’t even realize.

You gain the following benefits as long as this effect can only be used if it’s attached to a living object. and you are wearing this Artifact.

Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.

If the owner isn't the one to open the container the briefcase temporarily swallows the items inside and pushes up its "tounge" (the bottom of the briefcase) to resemble a normal briefcase. otherwise its just as spacious as a magical container would be.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a large briefcase (20 Liters) and just as difficult to conceal.

Your large briefcase (20 Liters) holds 5 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Living things can be stored in your large briefcase (20 Liters). They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the large briefcase (20 Liters) in the process.

If your large briefcase (20 Liters) 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.

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: Delusion that the suitcase is your best friend. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • There is no cost to use your container.

The Peacemaker

Created and held by Jackal.

It looks like a Colt Single Action Army revolver.
Steely black with some gold accents, the handle is a deep dark oak.

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

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +4 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Any Injury inflicted is considered unstabilized even if its Severity is less than 4. The equipment and roll required to Stabilize it is treated as though it is a minimum of Severity 6.
  • Infinite Ammo: This weapon never runs out of its standard ammunition.

  • 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.

Handheld Chem-synthesiser/Injector

Created and held by Orion Bradley.
A stainless steel handle with a rubber grip, attached to a stainless steel cage for a glass container that has an injection needle on one end and a series of tubes going in and out of a steel container in the other. There is a trigger, similar to that of a firearm, on the handle, and a keypad on the back, connected to the chemical synthesiser.

a code is entered into the keypad, to determine the injectors effect, and then the syringe is plunged into the target, causing their body to warp as they are rapidly mutated into a hypothetically evolved state.

Expend a point of Battery and Spend an Action. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you create an effect opposite of what was intended. A negative battlescar becomes a beneficial mutation, and vice versa. Roll Intellect + Science at Difficulty 6. The target may roll Body, Difficulty 7, as a Free Action to resist.

If you succeed, the target receives a new Battle Scar of your choosing, limited by the contested Outcome:

  1. A Minor Battle Scar E.g. an aesthetic-only body modification (a disfigured face, a pig's tail), impacted hand or foot, or vocal changes that complicate communication
  2. A Major Battle Scar E.g. a disabled/removed hand or foot, an inability to speak, an impacted major sense, removal of a minor sense, impacted movement.
  3. A Severe Battle Scar E.g. a disabled/removed arm or leg, deafness, aesthetic changes that are nearly impossible to conceal.
  4. An Extreme Battle Scar E.g. removal/disabling both hands or both legs, blindness, a full-body deformation that leaves the target humanoid but makes it difficult to use clothes, vehicles, and equipment designed for humans.
Refer to the stock Battle Scars on the Character Sheet for specific systems.

Your alteration "heals" over the course of the next month, after which it is fully cured.

  • Remember: A Contractor’s Body rating is reduced by 1 for each Battle Scar after their fourth.
  • You may opt to inflict a Battle Scar that is less severe than what your Outcome allows.
  • 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.

Golden Fiddle

Created and held by Johnny Fiddler.
its a golden fiddle that now does damage

Hungarian Dance No. 5 is played, generating red magical energy to emanate from the fiddle into a target, causing damage.

Spend an Action. Select a Living target within 50 feet. Roll Charisma + Performance 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.

You may choose to have this Effect Damage all targets in a perfectly straight line up to its maximum range.

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.

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

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of Effect. There must be no substantial obstructions between you and your target.

A beautiful low-pitched G String piece of classical music is played with The Golden Fiddle (the piece being played is Air on G String by Johann Sebastian Bach). This produces a giant transparent-ish shield, with a clef insignia in the middle, to form from the fiddle.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next Outcome + 2 Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. You may choose to create a bubble barrier. If you do, no physical objects or entities can pass into your bubble until the barrier is broken, but you and the barrier cannot move. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of the Barrier Strength Parameter’s bonus. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, 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.

  • If you use this Effect as a Reaction to dodge, you still need to make a roll to dodge. The Effect will occur regardless of the Outcome of this roll, but if you fail you will be hit by the relevant attack prior to the Effect occurring.

Bracer of Overt Vindication - B.O.W

Created and held by Edgar J. Hyde.
A slender black box that when pressed against one's wrist will clamp down and attach itself to the user's wrist, expanding out the wings of a bow, with a blue energy line acting as the bowstring.

The artifacts unfolds outward into the limbs of a bow, with a light-blue energy line that acts as a string to connect the two. The user can then pull on the energy line, causing it to shift colors and turn darker, until finally it is released and a arrow of blue energy is fired at the target.

Arrows are comprised of Hard Light and function and behave like normal arrows, apart from being able to produce a faint glow.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact and engaged in combat with this Bow.

Your attacks with this Bow have their base Difficulty set to 6, are no longer limited by your Brawn, and deal +3 Bonus Damage. Armor is fully effective against this damage. Reloading is considered a Free Action.

  • Reminder: Bonus Damage stacks with Weapon Damage, but does not stack with any other Bonus Damage. Instead, the highest Bonus Damage is used.
