The Emperor's New Clothes "Naked? Why, you are clearly mistaken, sir! It would hardly behoove the Emperor of these United States to parade through the streets naked!"

The power to generate useful mundane items.
Used by Issac Norton II, Created by Strazhari.
( )

The Imperial Raiment consisting of the signature Feathered Top Hat, Brocade Coat, & Tailored Pants of the Emperor are so Iconic, that it is virtually impossible to imagine him without them: If they are removed, they will return the moment he is unobserved.

This Effect activates whenever Stripped of Imperial Raiment. It does not require an Action or Exertion. This Effect cannot be used unless Unobserved.

Choose a specific type of Imperial Raiment which could fit inside a messenger bag (up to 10 liters). It cannot be Alien and must be relatively basic. You cannot create explosives. You cannot create firearms.

Roll Charisma + Performance to fabricate your chosen Object. The Difficulty is assigned by the GM and depends on the specificity of your chosen Object. Created item lasts 1 hour.

You may keep up to three fabricated objects at a time that do not expire after an hour.

  • If you want to make a new object which doesn't expire and you already have 3, you must choose one of those three and let it expire. You can still fabricate temporary items when you are maxed out on permanent ones.
  • You can fabricate a container of something so long as it contains a single type of thing (such as a tank of water) or it is designed to be packaged together (such as a first aid kit).
  • For setting the difficulty for the fabrication roll, something like a "shirt" would be difficulty 5, whereas "Police uniform" would be difficulty 9. The Outcome determines overall quality and how well the item fits the request.

You phase out of reality for up to 4 Rounds. During this time, you cannot affect the outside world or take any Actions. You cannot move. Nothing can interact with you in any way.

When you activate this Effect, you may limit its duration to a period of your choosing. If you are able, you may also end it as a Free Action on your initiative.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you see the user disassembled layer by layer.

  • 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 may use your Free Movement on the Round you phase back in, but you cannot take an Action.

Exert your Mind and spend ten minutes to activate. Select a Battle Scar on yourself to treat.

The treated Battle Scar will heal over the course of the next week.

  • "Equip" refers to drawing a gun, putting on a piece of armor, etc.

For instance, you may stash a clip full of bullets, a medical kit full of medical supplies, or a box of crackers, but you cannot stash a backpack full of miscellaneous equipment.
  • You may only attempt to store Objects which are free-standing and disconnected from other things. The use of this Effect will not allow you to sever any connections holding an Object in place.

The activation time must be spent digging through trash of some sort.

What can be produced must be able to be hidden within the trash you are digging in to hide the fact that it is actually being created.
