Crafted Artifact

Pendant of the moon goddess

Created by Seraphine Florentia, given to Alexander Stewart.
An intricately crafted pendant with a bluish white gem in the middle, symbolizing the full moon.

Activating this artifact causes the wielder to tear off the flesh and blood from the target and recipient and swaps them, as the flesh and blood settles into place with the new hosts.

Tormented from her curse of lycanthropy, Seraphine designed an artifact that she hoped could give away her curse and finally give her tormented soul freedom. Much to her frustration and relief, the curse would not leave her.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select two Sapient targets within arm's reach. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Brawn+Melee 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:

  • A single Battle Scar without the accompanying Injury which caused it
  • A single Injury and any Battle Scars it caused
This Effect cannot be used again on the same target for the next day.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see flesh and ichor being forcefully ripped and placed onto the target with their flesh replacing the lost flesh from the caster.

Whenever you transfer an Injury, it's Severity increases by 1. Whenever you transfer Mind damage or Traumas, the recipient takes an additional Mind damage.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • Does not apply to transfers made through the Forced Exchange enhancement.
  • 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.

A holographic symbol of the moon appears, shattering to form the artifact if being recalled or cracking open to reveal an eldritch horror spreading out if being held by someone unworthy

Seraphine needed to ensure her artifacts didn't fall into the wrong hands so she devised a way to ensure her holy relics weren't used against her own kind.

This Artifact cannot be broken. If this Artifact is lost and in no one else’s possession, it finds its way back to its true owner during the next Downtime.

By default, the creator of this Artifact is its true owner. The true owner may formally bequeath this Artifact onto another person within arm’s reach, after which they are its true owner. If the true owner dies or is destroyed, their ownership ends. If this Artifact has no true owner, anyone may spend one day attuning to it to become its true owner.

Monster hunters cannot hold or use this Artifact. They take a Severity 1 Injury each Round they touch or possess of the Artifact. It cannot be prevented or healed by any means until one day after they relinquish possession.

If this Artifact is in no one else’s possession, its true owner may Exert their Mind and spend two Actions to bring it to themselves.

This Artifact's true owner must have it with them to have restful sleep. They cannot regain Mind or Source while separated from this Artifact.

  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

Reapers Harvester

Created and held by "Widow" Stryker.

The small folding Navaja is not what most would expect from a Reapers blade, but in the hand of the Gypsy lass, it kills as efficiently as any weapon of destruction.

Repair-o-Pen

Created by Harold Ford, given to Amarjeet Inderpal.
A high-quality pen covered in a thin layer of gold. Clicking the pen 3 times rapidly fires the repair-gun effect.

You take this device and point it at a mundane broken object close to you. A tiny bullet full of nano-bots if fired out, and immediately begin repairing the object. After 10 minutes, it's as good as new!

Hey there, I'm Harold Ford, Vice president of Ford Motors and president of Metalcraft™. Our boys at the lab where doing some market research and you know what they found? All of you people suck at repair work! I told my boys to be nicer to my fellow contractors but they insist, all you guys know how to do is investigate and shoot!

So I told my boys: Maybe the problem isn't the contractors it's the fucking tools you guys are making! I mean Jesus, can't I just have a gun that repairs my car?! So I got my boys working on that - They said it was impossible, and I said they're just lazy! A few months later they come back with this bad boy - Check it out!
I call it - the repair-o-gun! It looks like a ordinary device, but with a little pull of a switch and BANG BANG BANG! I LOVE YOU REPAIR-O-GUN! AAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I LOVE THIS THING! I mean, next time anything breaks, you can just shoot it! Let's face it, you already solve most of your problems that way! Best-in-class repair device, patented nanotubular meshing. I don't understand how it works and neither do you!

Order now and receive free, same-day shipping courtesy of Offr Red! I love these devilish guys! Yah!

Exert your Mind and spend 10 minutes. Select a Object within arm's reach that is no larger than an SUV. Cannot be used on Alien technology. More than half the target object must be present in order to begin repairs. Roll Dexterity + Firearms at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, your target is repaired back to a functional state. If you fail, you spend the full time working before realizing you cannot repair the target.

  • 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.

Ringmaster's Whip

Created and held by RINGMASTER.
A long black bullwhip with a colorful ribbon-wrapped handle.

The Ringmaster's bullwhip whistles through the air to split the target's skin. Even atop the painful strike of a whip, the wounds caused by the Ringmaster's bullwhip seem reluctant to heal...

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 50 feet. Roll Brawn + Alertness Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling to Dodge or Defend as a Reaction, Difficulty 6.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 4.

Any Injury inflicted is considered Unstabilized no matter its Severity. The roll required to Stabilize it is treated as though it is a minimum of Severity 6. These wounds do not heal naturally, though Effects may still be used to heal them.

Finesse: When Attacking a single being, you may limit the Severity of any Injury you inflict or determine a maximum Wound Level, including Incapacitated. You may also choose to make this Injury properly or improperly stabilized, or to keep it unstabilized.

The target suffers a -3 dice penalty for the next hour or until the Injury is healed. This dice penalty does not stack multiple times on the same target.

If the target suffers an Injury from this Effect, they will receive at least a Minor Battle Scar regardless of its Severity. When this Effect causes a Battle Scar, you may select which one of the appropriate level.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of Effect. There must be no substantial obstructions between you and your target.

ECLIPSE 1

Created and held by Jack Thirston.
The ECLIPSE 1 (Dormant form) is a small white prism made out of white ceramic with extremely intricate details carved into the surface, that seems to resemble circuitry. Any mage worth their salt may recognise the circuits to be a spell framework, or enchantment. Though where "mana" or "magic" should be, there is instead a quiet hum of electricity. The ECLIPSE 1 (Dormant form) is built into a steel pendant with a built in tracker, attached to a sturdy tungsten chain.

The ECLIPSE 1 breaks apart into dizzying 4th dimensional prismatic fractals that grow and spread across the users body in a dull multi-coloured glow. Upon gaining enough mass the fractals subside into a more organic form... the ECLIPSE 1 (Combat form); a 7ft tall digitigrade mech suit equipped with limb mounted thruster's and a intimidating belt fed LMG attached to the left shoulder.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You transform into the ECLIPSE 1 (Combat form) for 3 hours. You have access to all of your Powers while you are the ECLIPSE 1 (Combat form), and you can use your equipment. The Injuries and Battle Scars of your Alternate Form and your true form are tracked separately.

While transformed, your Attributes are the same. Your Stress is reduced by 2.

While transformed, instead of your normal clothes and equipment, you are equipped with: ECLIPSE 1 Combat form ( FPV 5 armour) (Shoulder mounted LMG, Red-dot) (Infra-red sensors), F90 Assault Rife (Red-dot, 3 Mags), Glock-19 (Red-dot, 2 mags).

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: Dreams of the Eclipse home: When you sleep you dream of a pitch black maze full of violent creatures. At the start of each Contract and each time you fall asleep, make a Self-Control roll. If you fail, you take one Mind Damage. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Using your expert training you are able to activate the thruster's built into the rear of the suits back and limbs in order to take off and fly like... well, a Warmachine.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing the ECLIPSE 1 (Combat form) and you are wearing this Artifact.

As long as you are conscious, you are immune to falling Damage. Additionally, you may glide as you fall, traveling 35 feet horizontally for every 10 feet you fall. While gliding, you fall at a minimum speed of 10 feet per Round.

You may ascend into the air and fly using your limb mounted thrusters. You don't require extra clear space on any side in order to fly, and get +2 dice for any rolls made to maneuver in mid-air. You may add 50 feet to Movement you take while flying. If you take more than a Severity 4 Injury to your limb mounted thrusters via a called shot or Battle Scar, you can only glide until they are healed.

You are subject to the following effects while gliding or flying:

  • Earthbound: You cannot fly or glide in an atmosphere thin enough to be unbreathable.
  • Weight-Limited: This Effect is suppressed any time you are over-encumbered.

  • Any penalties to dice or movement, including from Encumbrance, are applied as normal. If your movement is reduced to 0 due to encumbrance, you will begin to sink down to the ground.
  • You may activate this Effect while in midair, allowing you to slow and survive any free fall.
