The Spear of the Naked King Jax

Created and held by Jax Harris.
When Obtained the spear was made of ash and obsidian though after bonding with the spear and attuning himself to its mystical properties it transformed into a design more suitable for him, a large wooden spear with carvings of the wild hunt glowing when touched and used

When wielding the weapon, Jax's eyes glow a bright white and images of the wild hunt emerge from the carvings, and the Kraken painted on the shaft materialises as if it is lengthening the spear by pushing it with its tentacles

Conde Andromalius

Created and held by Moz Krill.
A revólver, frio ao toque e quase uniformemente negro, possui um motivo decorativo de serpentes, com filigramas complexos em tons de dourado e esmeralda.

A posse da arma torna o portador sensível às dores do mundo, frequentemente em forma de pesadelos premonitórios. Durante a vigília, entretanto, disparos com a arma fazem um som agradavelmente grave, ainda que não mais baixo que o normal. O cano fumegante deixa à sua frente uma fumaça com tons vagamente caleidoscópicos de dourado e verde.

This Artifact can be used as a rifle. It is roughly the same size as a rifle but can be collapsed into anel de serpentes and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +7 Weapon Damage.

The last spin

Created and held by Toropova Ivanova.
A Nagant M1895, the gun looks worned down from continual use and the chamber is prone to losens.

The Important Radio

Created and held by Captain Ten Zero.
This handheld radio has an extra, unlabeled, button. It's big and red.

After the death of the most promising Zeta unit, Zeta 9, the program was retooled. Mass production became the main focus. After all, quantity is a quality all of it's own. The Zeta units are a mass produced combat android rarely seen on the battlefield. These special units have been modified to be launched from the Dawn Hammer in specialized drop pods from the roof of the vehicle.

These drop pods have been tuned to emit a haunting whistling sound as they fly through the air to the requested destination. When the Zeta units steps out of the pod, it's shrouded in a fog as the hydraulics that absorbed the impact release the pressure, making for a dramatic entrance, which is only amplified by the menacing appearance of the android.

Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action. This Effect cannot be used unless The Dawn Hammer must have access to the open sky. and The Dawn Hammer must be in Vehicle Mode for at least one turn. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you The drop pod debris strikes the contractor, dealing a sev 4 injury and knocking down the contractor over..

Taro Card

Created and held by Athena Rush.
Printed on the back of a Taro Card of the Sun

People tend not to believe in bad omens or bad luck, either out of fear or simple superstition. These people are incorrect. Moreover, this energy that many people relegate to being harmful can be twisted into something useful. Or, perhaps better described as something that has been purified.

This artifact looks like a card of some sort with - symbols carved into it. The user says the words,
"Come, o' spirit of Grimalkin."

In a greenish haze of mysterious mist, the card summons a black cat with a special pattern of white fur that seems deliberately painted or designed. This Cat hangs around and absorbs small amounts of "bad juju". It can be directed toward a battle scar, whereafter, it will begin to knead the flesh of its target, imbuing them with its incredible stored energy. This energy gives the body what it needs to regrow/fix the battlescar, though the Black Cat isn't capable of purging the energy once its finished and it has to come out somehow...

Expend a point of Battery and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.

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

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see a tentacle black mass regurgitated from the target's mouth. After a few moments, it reforms to look exactly like the target except with the same battlescar that was just healed, and will attempt to immediately flee into the nearest body of water and dissappear.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • 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.

Umbrella Identification

This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a passport and just as difficult to conceal.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into an Object within the category of forms of identification. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.

The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.

Selkie Skin

This Effect activates whenever you are submerged in salt water. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event.

You transform into small for two hours or until you choose to end the Effect. See the Extended System text for stats.

While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you cannot use your Active, Targeted, or Trap Powers. However, you can use your Passive Powers. Any equipment you are wearing transforms with you.

Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.

  • When triggered, the Effect activation resolves immediately after the triggering Action. It is not Reaction speed.
  • Creature Stats
    • Medium (large house cat up to human) Body 3. Brawn 1. Dexterity 3. Fall damage reduced by 1.
    All creatures get +3 dice to any non-combat Action that they are naturally adapted for. All creatures Medium and larger may attack by rolling Body, dealing +0 Damage (+1 for “predators”). Gms and Playgroup leaders can apply other bonuses and effects to specific animals.
  • Animals that are quicker than humans (like dogs) have 50 feet of Free Movement. Animals that are very slow (like turtles) have 0 feet of Free Movement.
  • You cannot transform if there is not enough room to do so.
  • The form you take must have the same stats and abilities as a single, extant animal of the relevant size.

The Coffin

"The Coffin" is a black, alligator-skin briefcase made to look like its namesake. The interior is coated in red, quilted leather. It is quite a bit larger on the inside, appearing to stretch backwards like a dark passageway.
