Angelic Bracer

Created by Vel, given to Jimmy Rockman.
A bracer with a mixed symbol of a Caduceus and Asclepius. The wings of the Caduceus are angelic and each snake has a small golden halo. The snakes twin around two parallel rods. One has both wrapped around, one has one. The the one wrapped around both has emerald eyes, which are touched to activate the cleansing effect. Part of Jimmys angelic form uniform

This artifact is a Caduceus fashioned into a small necklace, or bracer. The person wearing it moves confidently and automatically when performing medical operations.

This artifact gives the wearer knowledge of medicine, and supernatural guidance on what is needed to do to maximize the chance of a good outcome.

This artifact must have a caduceus symbol. It is made by using an intensive ritual involving:
- medical textbooks
- first aid kit
- a variety of medical symbols
- some famous icons and symbols
And imprinting from the shared meaning of these things a single effect.

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

All Stabilizations you attempt are considered Proper Stabilizations.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Gifted: You get +3 dice on any rolls related to medical care as long as you are performing emergency medicine.

  • All stabilizations being proper stabilizations applies to stabilizations from other Effects such as Heal Wound.

The rod glows with green light, and the participant being targeted glows the same color. The energy has some kick back, causing a shadow of the harm of the poison on the wielder of the rod.

The rod is burns with purifying energy that drives the malady from the target. It draws from the symbol of the Asclepius.

This rod was made by a ritual focused on the symbol of the Asclepius, and experimenting with it. Vaccines, anti-virals, stories of miracle cures were all part of the creation process.

Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend 1 Action. Select a Living target within arm's reach.

You may cure any Non-Alien diseases, toxins, or poisons afflicting your target even if you have not diagnosed or fully understood it. You may cure diseases or poisons even if they are not treatable through modern medicine. During treatment, the malady you are treating does not progress or cause additional Damage or other effects.

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.

  • 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.
  • The Injury received from activating this Effect heals in 1 day and cannot be prevented or prematurely healed by any means.
  • Without some sort of diagnostic Effect, “fully diagnosing” a disease or poison will always require a roll of some sort, frequently Intellect + Medicine, but the specific roll and difficulty is at GM’s discretion.
  • 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.

Gereg

Created and held by Lau Boros (real).
A serpent projected from Lau's mouth

Gereg crawls out from Lau's mouth, delivering a swift, envenomed bite.

Spend an Action. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you the snake bites you, paralysing you for one minute, during which time you lose one random sense (1 - sight, 2 - hearing, 3 - touch, 4 - taste. Roll Intellect + Occult at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, your target becomes drowsy for the next 3 Rounds, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall into a state of sleep paralysis for Contested Outcome x 3 hours. During this time, they remain fully conscious and aware of their surroundings but are incapable of taking any actions.

Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, and can only be awoken by taking Damage or nearing death from hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.

When activating this Effect you may attempt a knockout. If you do and your Contested Outcome exceeds 4, the target falls asleep immediately. Otherwise, they suffer the drowsy penalty for 2 Rounds.

This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 1.

  • For targets where "sleep" does not make any sense in terms of flavor, they will power down, freeze, etc, whatever state they can be in which is analogous to sleep.
  • 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.

Gereg takes a bite, siphoning the energy from a target to strengthen his master.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select two Sapient targets within arm's reach. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you an Injury you have increases in Severity by 1d4 points. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Intellect + Occult at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them. They can resist by rolling either Body or Mind at Difficulty 6, depending on what you are attempting to transfer to them.

You may choose a single instance of one of the following to transfer between your two targets:

  • Up to two points of Mind damage
  • A single Power. Lasts two hours. You cannot transfer this Power.
  • A single Injury and any Battle Scars it caused
This Effect cannot be used again on the same target for the next hour.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the snake lash out and siphon the effects from the target, and imbue them into Lau, or the reverse.

  • 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 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.

The gas ring

Created and held by Tobi.

A ring where I just have to show my victim my hand to activate.
When activated they will immediately be more inclined to listen and follow my words. This will also affect their emotions significantly making them more emotional

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a number of Living targets equal to your Charisma within 45 feet as well as a specific emotion. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6 -3 dice.

If you succeed, for the next minute, affected targets will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.

Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.

  • Common emotions and the actions they inspire
    • Anger (shouting, cruelty, denying requests, attacking)
    • Pity (stopping an attack, executing an injured target)
    • Happiness (generosity, dancing, joking, socializing)
    • Sadness (finding solitude, openly crying, demotivation)
    • Fear (running, attacking)
  • If you succeed, the target MUST take at least one Action they otherwise would not have. Hey, GM who is reading this, I'm talking to you. You have to enforce this. Remember: Gifts must feel powerful.
  • 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.

Radiant Fusion Cannon

Created and held by Mensk Xelnaga [25].
A large shoulder fired cannon designed to fire charged particle beams to destroy heavy armored vehicles or defensive structures.

This weapon is massive when unconcealed and looks like a futuristic RPG launcher to a layman's eyes. When firing it gets extremely hot, venting off all excess heat to a port on the left side of the weapon. On the right is a pop out full targeting computer and scope mixed into one. It provides basic targeting data (Temp, wind, degrees, enough that it can be used as a spotting/landscaping instrument) of the location the particle beam will hit. The targeting computer can change between many vision modes including GEN V thermals, Night vision, and infrared. It has an auto target AI that will do the targeting for Mensk when he wants.

* Advanced-Fusion-Cannon
* 6 Weapon damage, penetrates 3 armor
* 600 Feet range
* 2 Rounds per reload
* Requires two full actions to fire. The first action must be spent charging the weapon, and it is fired on the second action.
* Botching causes this weapon to overheat and surge with energy, dealing 4 damage to the user and 2 to anyone within 5 feet.
* The recoil causes the user to be sent back 3 feet after firing. User takes a sev 1 injury if this launches them into a wall.

This is a Radiant Collective heavy weapon designed and produced to destroy with ground and air targets with light to medium armor penetration capability.

This Artifact can be used as a heavy sniper rifle. It is roughly the same size as a heavy sniper rifle but can be collapsed into A dime sized coin with 3 skulls engraved and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +5 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Bane: Injuries dealt to Large Armored targets/structures are increased by 2 Severity levels.
  • Keyhole: Any bullet that kills your target tumbles through their body and may strike a target in a 90 degree angle behind them. Any damage beyond that needed for the kill is applied to the secondary target.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.
  • Excess keyhole damage does not reapply the weapon's damage bonus and is affected by Armor as normal. The secondary target may React to the tumbled bullet if they have a Gift which lets them do so.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.
  • Rifles are +1 Difficulty to use in melee range. Sniper Rifles are +3 Difficulty to use without a tripod or in melee range. Setting up a tripod takes an Action.
