a spear made of bone, covered in Feathers and Teeth

Arthur’s Crown

Created and held by Arthur Pierson.
A tarnished Crown with glittering jewels embedded

While looking directly at a target and wearing the crown Arthur speaks a command with a voice not his own. The command must begin with “I Command Thee” or else it has no effect. If the command is spoken correctly the jewels on the tarnished crown glow bright while the order is being carried out.

This crown is claimed to have once belonged to King Arthur. It is said that after his death Merlin the Wizard enchanted it to hold a part of the kings commanding presence inside of it. The voice which the user speaks the command with is King Arthur’s own voice recreated by magic.

Exert your Mind and spend at least one Action. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. Your target may be actively engaged in Combat. Communicate a command to your target. Roll Charisma + Culture at Difficulty 6. The target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.

If the contested Outcome is positive, your target will be compelled to follow your command to their best understanding of the letter and spirit of the command until they have completed it or for your Contested Outcome in minutes. You cannot issue another suggestion to the target until 10 minutes after they have completed the first command or 10 minutes after a failure.

The target is unaware that they are under supernatural influence and feel they are acting of their own free will. If you fail, they realize that you were attempting to influence them supernaturally with your command.

Your command can be an order to take an immediate Action. You cannot order a target to "do nothing," and they are free to take other Actions as they fulfill your request. Your command cannot be obviously self-destructive. The Effect ends if following your command would cause a target to cross one of their Limits in a way that would necessitate a Trauma roll.

You must have some means of communicating this command to your target, but no one other than you and them will understand or perceive it.

You may activate this Effect as a Reaction to contest any Action a valid target is taking, reducing their Outcome by your own. Your command has no impact beyond disrupting their Action.

This Effect ends if you are stunned, fall asleep, go unconscious, are incapacitated, die, or if your total Stress ever exceeds 5.

  • You cannot order your target to endanger themselves, but you may order them to flee, attack a certain target, take a defensive or offensive stance, or similar.
  • The target must be able to understand you and must receive your communication for the suggestion to work.
  • Allowed Commands
    • Direct Order: The target must take an immediate action (e.g. “Sit down,” "run away," or "tell me your password.")
  • 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.

Deer Hide Jacket

Created by Harriet Kel, given to Anthony Drunner.
A peculiarly scarred jacket made of deer hide, with a carving of a moth shaped key on the collar.

The user traces the carving of a moth shaped key repeatedly, thinking of the shape they wish to hide in. At the end if the ritual, a new skin drapes over the user like a cloth.

This artifact allows the user to summon a new skin from the Mansus made of the jumbled memories of the dead, and remove the distinction between the user and the new skin. For a time, at least.

Exert your Mind and spend a half hour.

You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts for two hours, or you may end it early at will.

The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise cannot directly mimic an existing person. You cannot alter your clothes. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.

You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.

  • ‘Appearance’ includes voice, bone structure, skin quality, hair length and color, eye color, muscle tone, flesh texture, and generally anything perceivable about your body.

Qigong

Created by Prototype, looted by Amaranth Barclay.

These coins create a subtle ringing noise while worn by someone who is injured. This noise persists until the item is removed or all wounds are healed.

Digging up his master's items of what he left to Fonzie before he passed away, he has found a particular trinket, 5 coins that shine and glow and are even a custom made coins, a masterwork of details and a symbol of Qi on each of them as they are all tied together with a red string, easily to be hanged from something or tied onto something else. Whoever holds it in their possession feels a new sense of vigor as old wounds heal.

This trinket was taken by Amaranth from the man's body after an ill-fated suggestion to throw him 100 feet away into army of undead contractors. It did not end well.

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

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active automatically count as a successful Proper Stabilization and do not deteriorate further. Any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will heal with the Injury.

You may Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 2. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.

You may choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that is not caused by an Injury. Recovery takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.

Created and held by Henri Laurent Auclair.
A key with a keychain. The keychain is a black horse relieved onto a gold coin.

The user fixes their arm to act as if they are starting a car and turns the key. Black mist starts forming around the user. The user then falls backwards and immediately they are in a car. Unfathomable to the human eye. One blink there is nothing, another blink there is a car. The car MUST BE a 2013 Shelby GT500. JET BLACK.

This Artifact can be used as a Car. It is roughly the same size as a Car but can be collapsed into Key! and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

This Car has 4.5 seats 2 front 2 back, 1 middle. 9.6 cubic feet trunk space. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

Annihilation's Blessing: Sentinel

Created and held by Hope.
A 6.5" long Gerber Mark II Knife [22-01874] stolen from the corpse of an MTF member and blessed by the angel Annihilation.

This blade will never leave its owner's side. It rebukes those responsible for the first evil that its owner ever witnessed.

This Artifact cannot be broken. If this Artifact is lost and in no one else’s possession, it finds its way back to its true owner during the next Downtime.

By default, the creator of this Artifact is its true owner. The true owner may formally bequeath this Artifact onto another person within arm’s reach, after which they are its true owner. If the true owner dies or is destroyed, their ownership ends. If this Artifact has no true owner, anyone may spend one day attuning to it to become its true owner.

Foundation Employees cannot hold or use this Artifact. They take a Severity 1 Injury each Round they touch or possess of the Artifact. It cannot be prevented or healed by any means until one day after they relinquish possession.

Whenever this Artifact is unattended and within 300 feet of its true owner, it will fly back to them. When not held or stowed, it floats beside its true owner, moving with them. While within 10 feet, the true owner does not need to touch it to use it.

  • The Artifact can fly at a maximum speed of 100 feet per Round and only towards its true owner. This does not grant the Artifact its own Action or Reaction, and it moves at the same time as its true owner’s Movement.
  • "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.
