Can't Miss The Showing Get Your Tickets!

1
An extraordinary shuriken.
Used by Stan T. Mann, Created by Bigswordsman.
(When actively using this Artifact in any way that exceeds what a mundane counterpart could do, it is obviously Alien and cannot be concealed under your clothes or similar.)

A comically large spool of comically large tickets that never seems to end. It can be attached to a belt and hung at your side.
Unwinding it allows the wielder to tear one of 'em off and fling them at a target, upon which they tear up and burst into confetti. Wielders can rapid-fire fling these tickets at several people by tearing off several at once.
These tickets look normal, but once torn off, they become rigid and sharp until they collide with their target.
They fly incredibly quickly because they actually store quite a lot of potential energy that's released upon being flung, allowing them to strike at the target with unexpected velocity.

This Artifact produces ephemeral projectiles that can be used as a shuriken.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Athletics, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +2 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Hail Storm: You may Exert your Mind to make an attack with against all targets within a 120 degree arc in front of you. Your full attack Outcome applies to each of them, but they may attempt to Dodge or Defend if they are aware of the attack.
  • 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.

  • Created projectiles last only until they strike their target and cannot be shared or stockpiled.
  • This Artifact cannot be disguised or morphed with other Effects like Shape-Changing object.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.

Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless the target does not use an Alien effect sourced from their body for a number of Rounds equal to the Severity of the Injury healed and you load a blood capsule (requires a quarter pint of mammal blood and a quarter pint of salt and iron mix, plus an hour of time at a workshop). Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.

  • Unstabilized wounds do not degenerate during treatment.
  • 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.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

  • 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.

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 Drill.

Your Extra Appendage counts as an object and can be hacked or targeted by any Powers that affect objects or machines. Injuries to your Extra Appendage cannot be healed by Powers that affect living things but may be repaired during Downtime.

You cannot be mistaken for a normal human. You cannot always use standard human clothes, equipment, vehicles, and facilities, and when you can, you suffer an increased Difficulty.

Those entrusted with the sign of the Napoli family swear more than loyalty they bind themselves to the foundation that holds the family strong. Before the lighter is passed on, the oath is spoken:

"I stand with the Family, in shadow and in fire. I raise no hand, voice, or will against the heart that keeps us whole. I keep what must be kept, cleanse what must be cleansed, and serve what endures.
What is given to me, I hold for us; where I walk, I walk for us; what I claim, I claim in our name.
In doubt, I turn first to kin; in danger, I stand where we stand; and in all things, my steps remain known to the Family, as my hands remain open to them."

Only those who speak these words truly earn the right to carry the lighter. When sparked and sealed, it calls the crew. The truck arrives. Equipped with the finnest weapons (Automatic) .mess is handled. No hesitation.

Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Lighting the lighter and calling the crew. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.

Summon up to 5 Sapient Mafioso at your location. They last for two hours or until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. This Artifact may have at most 5 minions active at a time.

  • Initiative: Minions act directly after you in Combat starting the Round after they are summoned.
  • Combat: Minions roll 7 dice to dodge, Grapple, or make Firearm Attacks. Their unarmed Attacks have 50 feet of range and deal +4 Damage.
  • Body/Mind: Minions have 5 Body. Your minions roll 3 Mind resistance dice.
  • Armor: Minions have 2 Armor.
  • Movement: Minions can move 25 feet per Round as Free Movement and double that when performing an all-out Sprint.
  • Intelligence: Minions have human-level intelligence and can speak your language. They can use equipment, Artifacts, and Consumables. However, they cannot Exert their Mind.
  • Actions: Any Perception checks they make are rolled with 4 dice. Any other roll is made with 4 dice. They can lift and haul as though they have 2 Brawn.
  • Unusual: Minions are not obviously Alien.

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. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.

  • Minions die if targeted with Energy Transfer (before the Effect resolves) or if an Artifact or Consumable they use would Injure them or cause them to roll Trauma.
  • Exhaustion penalties and duration stack. If you activate this Effect or another Effect with Exhaustion, your penalty will worsen, and the duration is increased by one hour.
  • Your minions may count as additional targeting types based on their flavor. For example: Living, Computer, Creature, etc.
