The Choir's Tools

An extraordinary heavy sniper rifle.
Created by Riley.

TBD

Luci is very protective of the firearms she creates and the image they hold in others' mind. If a weapon or item she creates (by either her artifact crafting or her fabricate powers) is put into a position where Luci may reasonably suspect it will be viewed in a negative connotation (such as if used in a terrorist attack or if passersby have the capacity to suspect that these weapons or tools are negative), then Luci must roll mind to not immediately stash them or otherwise abandon them completely [in which case that artifact would not apply to this rule a second time, but Luci will never feel inclined to use the item again].

Luci's firearms are typically very overturned and overdesigned. She's secretly a huge comic book fan and her new revelations in regards to her ability to create items using the energies of the Umbral Plane have opened up the ability for her slightly childish imagination to go wild with possibilities.

Luci takes an exceptional amount of time sketching out a full blueprint for the weapon of her desire- typically inspired designs from comics or movies that she personally finds cool. And per her own Fabricate power, she spends time manifesting the item through the use of her own shadows, however she takes extra time to refine the details and give the firearm its own personality. Each and every single one of these has a little bit of Luci and her creative intent inside of them.


This Artifact can be used as a heavy sniper rifle. It is roughly at least twice as large as a heavy sniper rifle and cannot be concealed on your person or disassembled for storage.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal 3 Weapon Damage +0 Bonus Damage. The target's Armor is fully effective against this damage.

Possession of this Artifact causes the following Trauma to manifest over the course of a day: Luci is very protective of the firearms she creates and the image they hold in others' mind. If a weapon or item she creates (by either her artifact crafting or her fabricate powers) is put into a position where Luci may reasonably suspect it will be viewed in a negative connotation (such as if used in a terrorist attack or if passersby have the capacity to suspect that these weapons or tools are negative), then Luci must roll mind to not immediately stash them or otherwise abandon them completely [in which case that artifact would not apply to this rule a second time, but Luci will never feel inclined to use the item again].. If you lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next month.
