1
A consumable caramel shortbread that lets you create a protective barrier.
Used by Lavender "Lav" Todderatmet, Created by geniebottle.
(The target and source of this Effect are obvious to bystanders.)

Some shortbread, to bring on dangerous undertakings.

A protective item that, when consumed, thickens the skin like scales, which remains armoured until pierced.

Use up this caramel shortbread (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend an Action. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome + 4 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

The barrier will fall after two hours, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage.

  • This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.
