Crafted Artifact

Grapnel Apparatus

Created by Zain Robinson, given to Jimmy Rockman.
A leather bracer worn around the forearm. The material houses the coiled Viper Cord with a retractable spool mechanism, and is able to be dispensed at a moment's notice from picking up electrical signals in the user's muscles.

Powered by advanced tensile wiring, the Viper Cord can extend to bend, tighten, and adjust its grip like a mechanical lasso-- commanded via smart technology synchronized with the nerves/electrical signals of the user's muscles. Though not as precise as a hand, its flexible, reactive fibers allow the user to manipulate things, reach further distances, and overall take action more fluidly.

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

You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand.

Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.

Your appendage is capable of bending and squishing in normally-impossible ways. It may fit through any gap that is not water-tight and retain its functionality.

Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.

Your extra appendage is not connected to your nervous or circulatory systems, and you will not take damage if it is hit by an attack or destroyed.

Your Extra Appendage counts as an object and can be hacked or targeted by any Powers that affect objects or machines. Injuries to your Extra Appendage cannot be healed by Powers that affect living things but may be repaired during Downtime.

All rolls utilizing your Extra Appendage are at a -2 dice Penalty.

Your Extra Appendage is incapable of fine object manipulation.

  • You may stretch or retract your limbs once per Round on your Initiative.

Franky's Regular Mallet!

Created and held by Franklin Serkin (Franky).
A two handed mallet, one that youd see in a classic clown show

The pole of the hammer, and or the actual head of the hammer can be extended in their own x or y radiuses up to 50 ft total (cant extend the head 50 then the shaft 50). If Franky were to pin a target through his attack he could simply let go of the hammer and have it float in whatever size he left it, pinning the target into the position he left them. Franky can also change the shape of the hammer into that of any melee weapon (i.e. club to greatsword). This can change the range or damage of his attacks. As it changes it makes a wacky cartoon noise and does a sort of bounce effect into whatever item its turning into.

Franky got his new hammer after he beat a giant spider, and was unable to reach its position without throwing his hammer, which he did not want to do. Franky has developed a bond with his hammer and will always know where it is.

This Artifact can be used as a club / improvised weapon. It is roughly the same size as a club / improvised weapon and just as difficult to conceal.

Attack by rolling Brawn + Melee, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +3 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Bastard: You may spend a Free Action to change this melee weapon’s base stats into those of any other basic melee weapon. Changing this weapon's base type affects its size, range, Weapon Damage, and roll.
  • This melee weapon may extend for a single attack up to 50 feet away. Retracting back into its usable size is a Quick Action.
  • Pin: If you Injure a target with an Attack, you may choose to leave your weapon. If you do, the target is “pinned” to that location until the weapon is removed. Removing the weapon increases the Severity of that Injury by 2.

  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.

Franky will get a ping in his mind of the exact place of his mallet if he ever loses it.

This Artifact cannot be broken.

This Artifact's creator is always aware of the direction and distance to this Artifact.

  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

Slime essence glove

Created and held by Aira (Ashley Scott).
A decorative glove with a jar of refilling slime on the back of it as well as a funnel to the slime, one labelled for blood and the other for water. it is covered in intricate metalwork that has a needle aimed for the hand's base.

the user will slowly pour a gallon of water into the glove slot, somehow all of it being absorbed inside of it as the glove then slashes the user's hand open, and with the needle tool, drip some blood into the slime-water concoction, causing a volatile reaction that creates a Slime-bat similar in appearance to Aira's slime, Lavender. In fact, it is literally a clone of that slime created from a small portion of the original.

Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you a ball of useless grey goo appear and a slime that speaks nothing but unneccesary talking, LOUDLY.

Kamura Scroll

Created and held by Isaac.
A scroll depicting a camping tent

When placed on the ground the scroll will glow and release a poof of smoke which eventually reveales the tent. Inside which is a chest, some resting space and some cooking supplies.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a Subcamp but can be collapsed into A small scroll and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Your Subcamp has a normal storage capacity, but can be collapsed down to a pocket-sized version without losing any internal storage. You cannot access the contents while it is collapsed. Objects stored inside are weightless.

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

If your Subcamp 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.

  • There is no cost to use your container.

The most boring book in the world

Created and held by Vincent Gaunt.

In just few moments of reading this book, its enough for listeners to comprehend 3 pages worth of mind numbingly boring information that brings about feelings of intense drowsiness.

This classic book tells the story of the development of Income Tax from its beginning in 1799 to the present day and relates it to the social, economic and political history of the period.

There have been studies of Income Tax at various stages in its growth; studies of finance and taxation in general in which Income Tax has been closely concerned; studies too of some of the Chancellors of the Exchequer who have made significant contributions to the Income Tax system; but this is the first time an attempt has been made to encompass the whole 160 years or so of its life in one volume.

And a fascinating story it is too when set in perspective. The author shows how Income Tax was introduced to finance the Napoleonic Wars, how it was revived by Peel to pay for Free Trade, and how it underwrote Victorian prosperity and confidence. He then describes its immense expansion through two World Wars to its present position as a dominant feature of British finance. This book was first published in 1966.

Spend an Action. Select a Living target within 30 feet. Roll Intellect + Culture at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, your target becomes drowsy for the next 3 Rounds, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall asleep for Contested Outcome x 3 minutes.

Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, but may still be woken up by sudden loud noises, being jarred or splashed with water, taking Damage, or similar rousing events. They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.

This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.

  • For targets where "sleep" does not make any sense in terms of flavor, they will power down, freeze, etc, whatever state they can be in which is analogous to sleep.
  • 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.

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.
