Crafted Artifact

(GAVE TO CEO OF WELLS FARGO) "Big Boss" Suit-Coat 1.0

Created by JPM (Jackson Pierce Morgan), given to Gary Brown.
The original replica, a "Big Boss" Suit-Coat made almost identical to JPM's... It has a JPM-logo on the back tag, black scottish tweed wool, double-breasted, full-closure, golden buttons, closing clasps, inner pockets, belt loops, military-style shoulder flaps, yada yada... fit for a mob-boss or any corporate emperor.

JPM is able to weave and smith the protection of the rich and upper class, and the privilege of the rich and upper class, into suits he crafts of fine Scottish tweed wool... unfortunately, like many things in life, these only benefit the rich and wealthy.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are rich (Rich Asset) and you are wearing this Artifact.

You have 5 Armor, which only reduces damage taken from bullets. Any armor piercing effects from bullets are ignored. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. Called Shots may circumvent your Armor, depending on its coverage.

Inline Speeders

Created and held by Octavius Silva.
Rollerblades which grant the user speed beyond human capabilities, runes embedded in its wheels

The runes in its wheels glow with neon exhaust, producing a bright, glowing smoke as the wearers form quivers with speed.

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

You can run at four times your normal movement speed.

While running, you may climb, jump, and roll without breaking stride, but you are at 1/2 speed while doing so.

If you move faster than your normal move speed, the world around you turns to a blur, and Perception rolls are made at -3 dice.

Possession of this Artifact causes the following Battle Scar to manifest over the course of a day: The flesh of your feet begin to fuse slowly into itself, becoming a damnable stump with a limited range of motion. If you lose possession of this Artifact, the Battle Scar heals over the course of the next month.

  • Any Encumbrance penalty to your movement still applies, but you do not suffer from any sort of exhaustion.
  • Damage from a collision depends on your speed at the time, as well as what you hit. GM's discretion, but generally moving faster than a car on the freeway and hitting a dense, solid object like a wall or a tree should be lethal. Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.

Talaria

Created by Prototype, given to Jeremy Wesley.

The power of Hephaestus forges Talaria once more! Jeremy Wesley commissioned Kody Creighton for these- masterfully made metal and leather shoes flowing with power, swirling, molten designs of fiery kinetic energy that allow Jeremy to leap into the air like the god who owns the original set. Million dollar shoes for a billion dollar man.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. Select a Location which is at most 75 feet away horizontally or 15 feet away vertically. If you are using this Effect as a Reaction, you must travel at least 10 feet.

You jump to the chosen location. If the landing is precarious, the GM may call for a roll to land safely. You will never take fall damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.

You may activate this Effect while in free-fall, as long as your target Location is a surface on which you can land. You are immune to fall damage.

When you use this Effect as a Reaction to dodge, if you Exert your Mind to activate the Effect, you do not need to roll; your dodge is automatically successful.

  • If you are Encumbered, the maximum range is cut in half. If Encumbrance has reduced your total movement to 0, you cannot activate this Effect.
  • vertical jump height measures to the bottom of your feet, so your total vertical reach is at least a body length greater.
  • Rolls to land safely will generally be Athletics, but GMs may call for a different roll at their discretion if it makes sense for the specific circumstances.
  • You may only use this Effect once per Round of combat, regardless of any Enhancements you have taken.
  • 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.

Boomerang-Dispensing Hat

Created and held by Klaus M. Locke.

From beneath the sweat-soaked brim, this hat's bearer removes a tiny, red boomerang. An ignorant observer would have only time to conclude that 'it must be a novelty item for tourists', before it arcs around and whacks the back of their head, the thrower not far behind.

This Artifact produces ephemeral projectiles that can be used as a shuriken. It is roughly the same size as a shuriken and just as difficult to conceal.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Athletics, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +3 Weapon Damage. The target's Armor is fully effective against this Damage. Attacks

You also gain the following effects:

  • Magic Quiver: Instead of throwing this Artifact, it is an object that produces an endless supply of temporary throwable objects. For example, bracers that allow you to throw ethereal javelins, or a sack of throwing rocks that doesn’t shrink when you withdraw one.
  • Not Quite Flying: You may Exert your Mind and use up your Movement to “follow” any attack using this weapon, traveling right next to its point of impact.
  • Ricochet: You can make a thrown attack against a target behind cover so long as there is at least one exposed pathway to them.

  • Created projectiles last only until they strike their target and cannot be shared or stockpiled.
  • The attack must be the primary form of attack for this weapon.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.

Economy Plus

Created and held by Mikey Rayes.
Red shipping crate

From the outside Mikey's shipping container appears to be normal. It measures 8 feet wide, 40 feet long, and 8 and a half feet tall. The back has a securely locked double doors. The Left side of the crate also opens. It can be unlocked and swung upwards to access the crate from the side. Either of these doors are supernaturally locked and can only be opened by Mikey himself. To do so he traces a precise symbol onto the surface of the lock with one of his picks, causing it to spring open.

The inside of the crate opens into a pocket dimension, 5 times larger than it would otherwise be, totaling to 1600 square feet of floor space. The pocket dimension appears as a garage with a concrete floor and steel walls. It is illuminated by a series of tube lights inset to the ceiling. By tracing the same symbol he uses to get in, Mikey is able to open any given section of the wall to either of the doors.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a Shipping Container and just as difficult to conceal.

Your Shipping Container holds 5 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

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

If your Shipping Container is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

Only you may open and close the container. Others can still destroy it to get at the contents

  • There is no cost to use your container.

BB Belt

Created and held by Sarah "Bunny" Brok.
A wide belt with a bronze disc at the front depicting a badger and a rabbit in fighting stances back to back, buckled straps to either side of the disc keep it snugly in place

Whatever part of the body is in motion during a fight seems to blur slightly, as if with excess speed combined with vibration-like wavering through all paths for a successful movement before taking the optimal one. On an injuring impact, the target's body blurs in a similar fashion for a moment, resulting in their silence.

Instantaneous analyzation of probability in the moment guides the user in what to do next.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact and you are engaged in unarmed combat.

+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +2 Weapon Damage (instead of -1).

You may Defend against melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks from any range and Clash with those in range of your Attacks. Attacking materials like steel or spikes will not Damage you unless it has an Effect that does so.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Assassin: If your attack Injures your target, they cannot make a sound, even incidentally, for a single Round. Even the sound of their body and equipment dropping to the ground is silenced.
  • Finesse: When Attacking a single being, you may limit the Severity of any Injury you inflict or determine a maximum Wound Level, including Incapacitated. You may also choose to make this Injury properly or improperly stabilized, or to keep it unstabilized.
  • Precision Strikes: You may use Dexterity instead of Brawn to Attack and Defend. If you would successfully incapacitate a target using Finesse, you may opt to knock them out for one hour instead of having them suffer an Injury.

  • Unlike the Ability Brawl, this Effect does not affect small weapons such as knives.

When the belt wearer first pushes past new stress or other issues, their eyes briefly flash gold.

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

Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.

If you are Stunned, asleep, drugged, or otherwise made unconscious for any reason other than being Incapacitated, you may Exert your Mind to wake up. Any penalty which was caused by this condition is removed.
