Crafted Artifact

Gauntlet of the moon goddess

Created and held by Seraphine Florentia.
A pitch black armored gauntlet with the insignia of a hammer on the back of the gauntlet and a moon in the palm.
Crafted by Ms. Daisy Fortune

A stringed thread, weaved such a way that would be a symbol of not only protection, but strength and good faith. When the ward protects, it reveals to the user the possible futures of which they are affected, the past and present of whatever reason this affliction was placed upon thee.

To the outside eyes, the thread glows dimly, almost as if it were to warn the user of the thread being tangled. It grows, an a knot is formed as another string of fate has been subverted.

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

You get +0 dice to any Mind resistance rolls you make. You also gain the following effects:

  • Been There, Done That: If you succeed a Mind resistance roll, subsequent attempts to use that same Gift or supernatural ability on you for the next day will fail.
  • Reveal Yourself To Me: If you succeed on a Mind resistance roll, you understand who was targeting you and what the intended effect was.

  • These bonuses apply only to Mind rolls made to resist Effects and other supernatural phenomena. They do not apply to Trauma rolls or self-control rolls.
Crafted by Seraphine Florentia

Activating this artifact causes the wielder to tear off the flesh and blood from the target and recipient and swaps them, as the flesh and blood settles into place with the new hosts.

Tormented from her curse of lycanthropy, Seraphine designed an artifact that she hoped could give away her curse and finally give her tormented soul freedom. Much to her frustration and relief, the curse would not leave her.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within arm's reach. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Brawn+Melee at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them. They can resist by rolling either Body or Mind at Difficulty 6, depending on what you are attempting to transfer to them.

You may choose a single instance of one of the following to transfer from your target to yourself, or from yourself to them:

  • A single Battle Scar without the accompanying Injury which caused it
  • A single Injury and any Battle Scars it caused
This Effect cannot be used again on the same target for the next day.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see flesh and ichor being forcefully ripped and placed onto the target with their flesh replacing the lost flesh from the caster.

Whenever you transfer an Injury, it's Severity increases by 1. Whenever you transfer Mind damage or Traumas, the recipient takes an additional Mind damage.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • Does not apply to transfers made through the Forced Exchange enhancement.
  • 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.

Caduceus amulet

Created and held by Amanda Kultz.
A silver amulet with the caduceus staff hanging from it.

When activated the amulet glows a lime green and it allows the user to bandage the affected areas and wait a minute. After a minute the bandages can be removed and the affected areas will have been fully healed. The user can’t swear the target to an oath to uphold or the new parts will wither and fall off.

Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must use up a whole roll of bandages in order to activate this Effect. Select up to four Battle Scars on your target to treat.

The treated Battle Scars heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.

You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition. Lasts until the end of their next Contract or 1 month for non-Contractors.

  • 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.

Tools & Tinctures

Created and held by Esther Patch.
Just your standard modern-low-fantasy surgical kit. Bandages, gauze, forceps, sutures, green herbs, red herbs, healing spray, wicked elixirs, a bonesaw, an ever-burning ember, a bottle of orange juice, an entire roast chicken... Nothing too out of the ordinary.

This piece of equipment is of the highest possible quality. Whatever it is, it's best-in-tier. It emanates gleaming white sparkle particles whenever you use it. This shit is so freaking sweet, dog.

This Artifact has been upgraded.

This Artifact receives 2 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +2 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice.

Virtuoso's Vessel: When using this Device for its primary purpose, you always roll a minimum of 8 dice. Excludes Effect activation rolls.

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: Big Spender's Splendor - You emanate an aura of golden light. You have no idea how to turn this cosmetic effect off. Visual perception checks to spot you are made at -1 Difficulty, or at -3 difficulty in complete darkness. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Battle Scar heals over the course of the next day.

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: Covetous - Your <Artifact> is the greatest in the world. Nobody is going to take it from you. You refuse to loan out your Masterwork artifact(s) to anyone else. You must roll Self Control in order to let another person who knows of its existence remain in a position where they could easily steal it from you. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used. The same is true for extra dice.
  • Extra dice from this Effect do not apply to Gift activation rolls.

Furnace Plate

Created and held by Infurnace (C List).
A suit of mixed armor plates that contain Infurnace's body

Plate armor made of thick iron plating, with a grill face and general humanoid structure.

This Artifact has been upgraded.

This Artifact receives 5 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +5 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice. While it is upgraded, the item cannot be destroyed. Upgraded Armor is shredded by half the normal amount. If it is a piece of Armor, it instead receives half that amount as bonus armor rating, rounded up. If an upgraded shield and armor are both worn, the upgrade bonus does not stack with itself.

  • "Destroyed" in this context means "prevented from functioning for its primary purpose", so for instance, an upgraded land mine would still explode as normal if triggered, even though it cannot be "destroyed" and a car's windows may still be broken.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used. The same is true for extra dice.
  • Extra dice from this Effect do not apply to Gift activation rolls.

Gulliver's Turn Coat

Created by Leon Vanderblight, given to Gulliver Archer.
A black and blue jacket for a friend. Counts as reinforced clothing (+4 armor, upgraded.)

An appropriately named jacket, coming in a variety of colors and woven with kevlar fabrics this blend of modern technology and fantastical ability can take you from anywhere to Leon's own home base. Though he's loathe to hand these out to any but those he trusts beyond all else, their incredible value in getting out of a shit situation when all else fails is beyond measure.

Exert your Mind and spend 2 rounds to activate. If you are at The heartstone of the Imp's Bog in Russia, you may choose a target Location within your line of sight; otherwise, your target may only be The heartstone of the Imp's Bog in Russia.

After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
