Rulebook p 222 and forward.
 
 
 
=== Armor ===
 
You can only use one kind of armor of each type, meaning you cannot use regular light or heavy armor after you have used invention armor of that kind. The same applies to shields, tough only a few playbooks have access to shields.
 
Armors have an additional type of drawback, '''Material'''. An armor can only be made of one material, but you can have light and heavy armor of different materials.
 
 
 
: 1 ☐ '''Expressive Shield''': This works as a normal shield: Functions as armor and takes up one hand. The front of this shield is shaped in the likeness of a face. While bearing the shield, the face's expression changes to match your own, including speech, which becomes audible at a much greater distance. This allows the sue of the Command and Sway action to be used at greater range. This replaces a normal shield, you cannot carry both. When using this mark the shield box one way when used for expression. Mark it fully once you use it as armor. In either case the expressive functions works for the score. 
 
: 1 ☐ '''Light Serpent Armor''': Armor made out of the scales of a large snake or similar flexible natural armor. This functions as light armor, but only weights ☐. This replaces normal light armor, you cannot wear both, so a good way of representing this is to permanently cross off one box of light armor. You cannot use this with heavy armor or normal light armor. '''Material, Rare'''
 
: 1 ■ '''Smoldering Armor''': Wisps of harmless, odorless smoke rise from this armor while it is worn. Any suit of armor can be turned into a smoldering armor.

You decide what it looks like, including color, style, and accessories, but the armor retains its normal bulk and weight.

: 3 ■ '''Exosuit Armor''': You can doff this armor in seconds. It breaks open and stands up by itself, you simply walk into it and it closes around your body. This has no effect on a score, it is useful when you are surprised when camping or during downtime. The armor otherwise works normally. This is a quality added to any armor you wear at no cost in load. Any suit of armor can be turned into an exosuit.'''Complex
 
: 3 ☐-☐ '''Heavy Carapace Armor''': Armor made out of the hard exoskeletons of monsters, such as the carapaces of giant insects and scorpions or the hells of giant crustaceans. This functions as heavy armor, but only weights ☐-☐. This replaces normal heavy armor, you cannot wear both, so a good way of representing this is to permanently cross off one box of heavy armor. '''Complex, Material, Rare'''
 
: 4 '''Light Mithril Armor''': Armor made out of a light metal as hard as steel but looking like unitarizable silver. This functions as light armor, but only weights ☐. This replaces normal light armor, you cannot wear both, so a good way of representing this is to permanently cross off one box of light armor. '''Material, Rare'''
 
: 5 ☐-☐ '''Light Dragon Armor''': Armor made out of the scales of a dragon. Different dragons have different scale colors and are linked to different power. This functions as light armor, but also improves your position against attacks made using the power of that dragon. This replaces normal light armor, you cannot wear both. '''Complex, Material, Rare'''
 
: 6 ☐-☐-☐ '''Heavy Adamantine Armor''': Armor made out of a hart, dark metal that is very difficult to work. This functions as heavy armor, but continues to reduce physical harm for the rest of the score. This replaces normal heavy armor, you cannot wear both. '''Complex, Material, Rare'''
 
 
 
=== Weapons ===
 
Rather than individual weapons, this is a list of features a weapon can have. A weapon starts at tier 1. Add the tier rating of all these effects together to get the tier of a weapon. Unless noted, these do not change the load cost of a weapon.

: 5 ■ '''Prosthetic ''': This item looks like a porcelain and clockwork body part, an eye, ear, hand, an arm, a foot, a leg, or a similar body part. It can replace a lost example of the same limb. It can be attacked or detached with a few seconds of work. While the prosthetic is attached, it functions identically to the part it replaces.
 
: 5 ☐ '''Balance of Power''': Use the scales to evaluate items with powers. The scales will tip towards the side with the higher tier power.
 
: 5 ☐ '''Blood Needle''': You need to touch the blood of of another creature to activate the magic of this thin needle. If done delicately, this feels like nothing more than a pinprick. You then wear the pin in your clothes or hair. As long as you wear it, any power that would usually find information about you instead finds information about the creature who's blood you used. At the full moon the link of blood ends and needs to be renewed for the Blood Needle to work.
 
: 5 ☐ '''Dimensional Shackles''': You can place or release these shackles from an incapacitated creature by using the command word. The shackles adjust to fit a creature from half to double your length. In addition to serving as mundane manacles, the shackles forces a spirit to remain material and prevents a creature bound by them from using any method of extradimensional movement, including teleportation or travel to a different plane of existence. They don't prevent the creature from passing through an interdimensional portal.
 
: 5 ☐ '''Dusting Stone''': A cleansing stone rests comfortably in the hand. When touching the stone, you can use it as an enhanced brush, scrubbing and washing things thoroughly by just dusting them with the stone.
 
: 5 ☐ '''Eyes of Minute Seeing''': These crystal goggles have icy lenses that render things close to you in stark detail. While wearing them, you can see much better than normal out to a range of 30 centimeters. You have increased effect on Survey checks that rely on sight while searching an area or studying an object within that range.
 
: 5 ☐ '''Goggles of Truth''': The world appears cold and harsh while watched through the smoky crystal lenses of these garish goggles. You gain potency on Survey, allowing you to see spirits, invisible creatures and power effects. You can use the goggles to examine a worked object to identify the aura of the last creature that touched it. Make a Survey roll. On a success, you learn the creature's type and sense in what direction the creature is at the moment. This has a double consequence: that the creature feels a tingle along their spine and that you cannot read the aura of this object again.
 
: 5 ☐ '''Speaking Stone''': The key to long-distance, virtually instantaneous communication. Each stone is marked with a rune code. By speaking the code of another stone, you create a link that allows you to hear and speak from that stone. Both stones glow slightly when linked this way. You gain no information about where the stone is. Communication is so bad it only allows limited effect and controlled position. ''Many rich people and organisations keep speaking stones but most keep the rune codes secret to prevent spying.
 
: 6 ☐ '''Bag of Holding, Light''': This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, it holds 4 load. 
 
: 6 ☐ '''Gauntlets of Ogre Power''': You gain increased effect on Wreck rolls while wearing these brass and rawhide gauntlets.
 
: 6 ☐ '''Rope of Entanglement''': This 15 meter rope is made of spider silk. If you hold one end of the rope and use an action to speak its command word, you can use your Wreck to grapple a creature up to 10 meters away. If you successfully restrain a creature this way, you can let go of the rope and it will keep the creature bound. If the rope is about to be cut, it instead recoils and neatly coils itself. '''Rare.
 
: 6 ☐ '''Shackles of Power''': You can place or release these shackles from an incapacitated creature by using the command word. The shackles adjust to fit a creature from half to double your length. In addition to serving as mundane manacles, the shackles hinder the creature from using powers and supernatural abilities and forces a spirit to stay materialized.
 
 
 
=== Alchemy ===
 
Alchemic substances come in frail containers that must be handled with care, thence the load. For a more efficient way to carry these, see Bandolier.
 
Manufacturing or acquiring an alchemic item gives you a single potion.
 
If your tier matches the tier of the potion, you gain replacements for any after the score.
 
Otherwise you must make or acquire another potion to use it again.
 
Alchemical items listed in your playbook are always restored.
 
 
 
Potions are traditionally stored in tiny glass bottles with a shape that varied depending on the type of potion, allowing identification by touch. Of course, this si just the norm, it doesn't always apply, and sometimes a potion might be in a different bottle than expected.
 
 
 
Drinking a potion is almost instantaneous.
 
Applying an oil takes about a minute.
 
 
 
Alchemical products are sorted by tier, the first number on each line.
 
The tier modifications of the '''Complex''', and '''Rare''' drawbacks have not been included in each item's tier, as this would not reduce the sale price and availability of the item. When actually manufacturing something with these drawbacks, reduce the tier the creator has to contend with.

The sticky black unguent is thick and heavy in the container, but it flows quickly when poured.
 
: 5 ☐ '''Potion of Invulnerability''': For a few minutes after drinking this potion, any external, physical harm you take that is not from a potent source is reduced by two levels. The potion's syrupy liquid looks like liquified brass. '''Unreliable'''.
