Crafted Artifact

Lv. 3 Estus Flask

Created and held by Ashen One.
A Glowing opalescent green Liquid that seems to glow evermore brighter than the previous Level.

A container filled with a glowing orange substance called Estus, restoring their health.

Expend a point of Battery and spend 1 minute. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Athletics at Difficulty 8.

If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.

  • Unstabilized wounds do not degenerate during treatment.

Ring Finger Parathesis

Created and held by Felix Law.
A prosthetic ring finger, fixed tightly to the right hand.

The user removes the affected artifact, which begins to bubble and transform. It grows slightly, the original material becomes fibrous, metallic and flexible, and a thin silver mouth opens at the tip. A single golden wing sprouts from the middle segment, allowing for flight.

After activation, the minion can perceive and communicate through the mouth at the tip. That same mouth is very conductive, and can administer a powerful electric shock when triggered.

Unless otherwise noted in the artifact description, the minion grows from and around the affected artifact. When the minion dies, or the effect ends, the artifact reverts to it's original state.

Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action.

Summon a single Sapient metal digit at your location. They last until they are destroyed They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. This Artifact may have at most one active at a time.

  • Initiative: Minions act directly after you in Combat starting the Round after they are summoned.
  • Combat: Minions roll 4 dice to dodge, Grapple, or make handheld stun gun Attacks. Their unarmed Attacks are melee range and deal +2 Damage.
  • Body/Mind: Minions have 3 Body. They are between the size of a rat and a cat and do not suffer falling damage. Your minions roll 3 Mind resistance dice.
  • Armor: Minions have 1 Armor.
  • Movement: Minions can move 15 feet per Round as Free Movement and double that when performing an all-out Sprint. Your minions can fly at their normal movement speed.

  • Actions: Any Perception checks they make are rolled with 3 dice. If ordered to protect someone with its life, your Minion may sacrifice itself to absorb an Attack on their behalf, provided it is within 15 feet of them. Any other roll is made with 3 dice. They can lift and haul as though they have 0 Brawn.
  • Unusual: Minions are obviously Alien to any observer.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their body and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Battle Scar: missing digit. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Battle Scar heals over the course of the next day.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

  • Minions die if targeted with Energy Transfer (before the Effect resolves) or if an Artifact or Consumable they use would Injure them or cause them to roll Trauma.
  • The sacrificial Injury received from activating this Effect cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed. It is shared with all Effects that use sacrifice. This Injury does not requires Stabilization or cause Battle Scars when it becomes Severe.
  • Your minions may count as additional targeting types based on their flavor. For example: Living, Computer, Creature, etc.

Godlike Syringe

Created and held by Xīdú gāo.
Currently At home.
A syringe that can inject anything, even incorporeal beings. Once injected into the target, the user can inject the syringe to themselves to become a Perfect Replica of the target.

The user becomes a perfect replica of the target. Copying his appearance, knowledge, skills, and abilities.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. This Effect cannot be used unless the syringe has been injected into the target.

You transform into A Perfect Replica for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are A Perfect Replica, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. Reverting from your Alternate Form cannot cause your existing Injuries to kill you. Instead, you remain Incapacitated.

While transformed, your Attributes are the same. Your Stress is reduced by 2.

Your body is adapted to the abilities of the copied target. You receive +3 dice on non-attack rolls related to the abilities of the copied target.

  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Jacob's Burden

Created and held by Jacob Cruz.
A necklace of copper, given to Jacob by his father. Engraved is the image of a carabao, a beast known for its perseverance and strength.

A grayish mist is emitted from the necklace. The cloud then coalesces into cloaked, wraith-like beings that surround your target.
The wraiths use the voices of the innocents that have been harmed by the users actions.
What they’re saying is nearly incomprehensible due to the sheer quantity of voices attempting to whisper over each other, but the target gets the sense that the user must have done something terribly wrong.
If used on self, the wraiths taunt and mock the user. Unlike the others, the user recognizes each and every voice and how they are related to the user.
They're translucent and wouldn't inhibit vision.
When attacked, the wraiths let out a bloodcurdling wail and lunge for the attacker before bursting into ethereal flames.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. Roll Intellect + Investigation at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of 4. 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.

  • Effects which circumvent Armor completely also circumvent your barrier.
  • 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 Provider

Created and held by Edgar Stokes.
A pulsating tumor waiting to find a home.

These organs are about the size of a fist when created, growing like fleshy tumors inside Edgar Stokes mutated body - when inserted into a Pouch Augment in a living creature, the organ takes root, transforming that Pouch into a liminal space of sorts. The Organ feeds off the nutrients of the host body, & cannot be removed without removing the original Augmentation altogether.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a small, pulsating organ and just as difficult to conceal. Unless it is implanted in a living creature that has the Pouch Augment, this Artifact behaves as its mundane counterpart.

Your small, pulsating organ holds 12 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

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

If your small, pulsating organ is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

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.

Voice synthesis choker

Created by NPboom and orphaned. Held by Nanook
Currently At home.
Located in a cave surrounded by an currently ?eternal? blizzard prohibiting air travel at the northernmost point of Somerset Island

The metal choker emanated a loud, attention grabbing voice when the 6ft sewn together human turned to them. he said in a intimidatingly deep tone "Where is the suitcase" as he trudged over to the guards, his knuckles crackling menacingly.

This also includes understanding any recorded communications from the relevant targets, including writings, scent trails, etc.

  • The target of "human" refers to any target that speaks a human language.
  • When reading written communications, you get no information beyond what the writer was intending to communicate.

the source of Jackson's voice is now virtually indestructible thanks to tampering with it and researching the company from where it came from. it also seems to hum a bit when Jackson uses it to speak.

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.
