Norton's Eyes of the State

Created and held by Dominic West.
A badge with a small button camera on the bottom nearly imperceptible to the human eye.

Dominic has learned to tap into the bugs, cameras so tiny as to be microscopic, in the world around him. Proving that he was right yet again! The Illuminati does indeed have eyes, ears, and all other manners of things everywhere! He doesn't know how or when they started planting them, but they did and they are even within the deepest sanctum and within your most trusted devices. Yet, now he needs to worry no longer for through the wondrous enlightenment he was granted he has figured out their subroutines and gained the ability to co-opt this technology most foul for the resistance!

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a target within 10 feet.

You place a ward, which is fixed to a target Object that can be moved and repositioned. You can hear and see through the ward as though you were standing at its location. You may have at most 3 wards running at once.

The ward requires Concentration to monitor, though it will remain active until you deactivate it. It can be detected with a roll and destroyed through mundane means.

Your Ward records all activity it observes, regardless of whether or not you are actively monitoring it. This recording can be played back and referenced later.

You may communicate through your ward, though doing so will reveal its presence.

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.

You may only use this Effect once per day.

  • Your ward's recording is maintained even if your Ward is destroyed.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

Moonshadow Necklace

Created and held by Allena.
A chain necklace with the phases of the moon depicted on it from left to right with silver shapes.

The user grips the necklace (either while it is in their hand or on their neck), and whisper out loud the name of the person they're treating. Afterwards shadows wrap around the two and put them into a room with complete silence, the peace within the shadowy room is amplified to console the target and heal them.

When used to heal mental exhaustion the shadows instead wrap around the target's head and give them a darkened face mask that isolates them from outside noise, all the while whispering reassurances to their ear.

Exert your Mind to activate. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Over the course of one Downtime, your patient must communicate with you and reveal at least one of their Traumas to you, including the details of those Traumas and the circumstances of how they were acquired. After the full treatment time has elapsed, roll Charisma + Occult at Difficulty 6.

If your treatment is successful, you may remove one of the patient's revealed Traumas without incurring any Experience cost.

You may attempt to treat an unwilling patient. They may choose to resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.

Once per day per target, you may choose to use this Effect to stabilize a target's Mind. Treatment takes 30 seconds but will not remove any Traumas. If you are successful, restore 2 Mind damage.

  • The treatment time may be broken up into multiple sessions if necessary.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

Diva

Created by Winsley Herman, given to Mel.
It appears as a clockwork version of the desired weapon. The projectiles are self-produced caseless rounds made of brass. The Words “Mortui salutem” Are etched into each round. Gears churn silently throughout its immaculate brass casing. Shots are left to a whispered hiss of steam. When changing forms tentacles reach out from within the casing and rearrange the barrel and shape in a moment. It can turn into a seemingly mundane lighter with clockwork inspirations that still functions as normally. Diva is a god of violence and craves the thrill of the hunt.

This Artifact can be used as a rifle. It is roughly the same size as a rifle but can be collapsed into a unique clockwork lighter and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.Unless You have another living Artifact, this Artifact behaves as its mundane counterpart.

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: you believe that the gun is alive at all times, is named Diva, and is a close friend you’ve known for years. during moments or rest or extreme stress make a self control roll not to talk to the gun. If any Diva is destroyed make a trauma roll.. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

The Ring of Devotion

Created and held by Lucious Jabroni.
A ring aquired from one of the hands in the Coat of arms. Made of silver and carved in the form of a braid with solid edges. An inscription along the inside of the ring reads... "Your love made me strong". Something tells me this story didn't end happily.

While being worn, the golden tattoo's on my arms glow even brighter. As attacks draw near, a faint golden barrier shimmers in front of the object and a jet of golden flame, which varies in intensity based on how forceful the attack was, lashes out in the direction of the attack. However, with enough force, the object can push through. Knives seem to be able to pass without triggering this effect... for better or worse.

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

You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming damage from all sources of physical attack except attacks from a knife. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.

Your Armor cannot be destroyed, and it always provides a minimum of 2 Armor regardless of any Armor penetration. It cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.

When you take Damage from a source which is within 5 feet, deal back as much Damage as your Armor prevented.

The ring fills the body with warmth, reminding the user of what they love most. It also lashes out at whoever or whatever cast the mind exertion roll and they must overcome the ring's will to activate their effect on the user.

You gain the following benefits as long as the armor of the ring isn't shredded and the user is holding a knife and you are wearing this Artifact.

You get +2 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.
  • Compartmentalizing: You can take a maximum of 1 Mind Damage per Round.
  • Force of Will: You may Exert your Mind to increase the Outcome of a Mind resistance roll by 2.
  • Naturally Resistant: Any time you make a Mind resistance roll, the individual who you are resisting must Exert their Mind, or your resistance succeeds automatically.

  • If you have an Effect that allows you to Exert your Mind more than once per Round, each Exertion still causes one Mind Damage.
  • 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.

My mind races with new information. I can understand when somebody is about to move, not just from their stance or their facial expression... Their very own mind and muscular strain and tremor gives away their reaction, and their fear is palpable.

You gain the following benefits as long as the shield remains unshredded and you are wearing this Artifact.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

  • Electroreception: You may detect electromagnetic fields, electric currents, and even neurological activity in a 50 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting neurological activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.
  • Hearing: You may hear sounds of sub- and hyper-sonic frequencies, allowing you to hear tiny things (mice, insects, etc) better, and pick up on the vibrations of massive things (earthquakes, atmospheric disruptions, etc) long before others.

Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses. If one of these senses does become suppressed, you may Exert your Mind to end the effect.

  • Examples of overloading a sense include: an explosion causing temporary deafness, a bright light causing blindness, a sedative causing numbness, etc.
  • When you are within 50 feet of range, your electroreception sense is sufficient for aiming.

Donum Profunditatis

Created and held by Julio Ramos.
A steel ring coated black. When used, it gives Julio an eldritch-looking tentacle on his tailbone.

The ring is from black, stainless steel, displaying multiple tentacles that wrap around the finger. Inside, the letters "H.P.L." are engraved. Once used, the tentacle that emerges is of a dark, purple hue, with a sharp tip at the end.

"Back in the 1930s, an unknown wizard made this ring for his favorite writer. Get this, though: The dude died before he could send the gift. So, through the years, it was passed along to multiple hands, and eventually, it ended with you! Crazy, right?"
-The Talent that gave Donum Profunditatis to Julio.

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

You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand.

Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.

Your extra appendage can be used to attack in exactly the same manner as a warhammer.

Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.

Your extra appendage is not connected to your nervous or circulatory systems, and you will not take damage if it is hit by an attack or destroyed.

  • You may stretch or retract your limbs once per Round on your Initiative.
