Inventions

Gadgets, alchemical creations, and rituals are three categories of special resources you must earn during play. Certain special abilities make this easier or give you the ability to create one of these things. When an invention is found on a playbook's list of items, such a character can renew their stock without having to use the invention rules. 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 ☐.

You decide what it looks like, including color, style, and accessories, but the armor retains its normal bulk and weight. The illusory appearance last until you use this property again or remove the armor. Any suit of armor can be turned into a glamered armor.

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.

1 ■ Basic Weapon: All weapons need this.

+1 ■ Concealed Weapon: The weapon appears to be an ordinary item of its size and shape to all by close inspection, or appears to be harmless. Typical examples include cane swords, fighting fans, snuffbox guns, and glaive staffs. A normal staff, swagger stick, or brass knuckles does not need this effect.

+1 ■ Fine Weapon: The weapon increases effect.

+1 ■ Morphing Weapon: The weapon can change shape to become another type of weapon of the same basic type: melee weapon or ranged weapon.

+1 ■ Potent Weapon: The weapon penetrates many supernatural defenses, avoiding a loss of effect.

+1 ■ Power Weapon: Select a Power. The weapon can deal the type of damage that the skirmish attacks of that power deals. Typical examples are flame blades, ice arrows, and psi knives. This does not change the amount of damage, only the type. You can apply this invention multiple times to a weapon.

Gadgets

This includes unusual items, both magic and mundane. It is often hard to know if a device is magical.

2 ■ Candle of the Deep: The flame of this candle cannot be extinguished by wind or water. It gives off light and heat like a normal candle. Consumable.

2 ☐ Spirit Lantern: Reveals spirits and invisible creatures and objects in its light. Works best in darkness, has to be very close to work in sunlight.

3 ☐ Dread Helm: This fearsome steel helm can make your eyes glow red while you wear it.

3 ☐ Emerald Pen: This pen is tipped with an emerald nib and requires no ink to write. It can draw green lines and text on any material, including in air, and you can make the text glow for a few minutes. On a surface it lasts much like normal ink, in the air it disappears when it stops glowing. More expensive versions use gems and create text of other colors.

3 ☐ Silver Platter: Silver plates and goblets darken when touching poisons, drugs, and potions. Unreliable.

3 ☐ Syringe Crossbow: A pistol crossbow that fires a bolt that injects a drug or poison. Effective to about 10 meters. You must supply the drug.

You can also replace old phrases with new ones. Whatever the condition, it must occur near the doll to make it speak. For example, whenever someone picks up the doll, it might say, "I want a piece of candy."

4 ☐ Eversmoking Bottle: Smoke leaks from the lead-stoppered mouth of this brass bottle. When you remove the stopper, a cloud of thick smoke pours out in a 15-meter radius from the bottle. The cloud's area is heavily obscured. Each minute the bottle remains open and within the cloud, the radius increases by 3 meters until it reaches its maximum radius of 40 meters. The cloud persists as long as the bottle is open. Closing the bottle requires you to speak its command word. Once the bottle is closed, the cloud disperses after 10 minutes. Any wind can disperse the smoke.

4 ☐ Flamethrower: A tank backpack connected to a nozzle that can release a jet of alchemist's fire up to 10 meters. Can quickly fill a 2 meter radius. A pilot light can ignite this. Consumable (can load up to five alchemist's fire, each can be fired once ☐, ☐, ☐, ☐, ☐. Volatile risks collateral damage and the tank can explode if hit.

4 ☐ Rope of Climbing: This 15 meter silk rope can hold up to 1,500 gk. If you hold one end of the rope and speak the command word, the rope animates. You can command the other end to move toward a destination you choose at a walking pace until reaching its destination, up to its maximum length away, or until you tell it to stop. You can also tell the rope to fasten itself securely to an object or to unfasten itself, to knot or unknot itself, or to coil itself for carrying.

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.

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.

2 ☐ Philter of Love: The next time you see a creature within 10 minutes after drinking this philter, you become charmed by that creature for 1 hour.

3 ☐ Binding Oil: Permanently fuses two surfaces until dissolved by alcahest or universal solvent. It is often easier to break the items themselves.

3 ☐ Bottled Breath: This bottle contains a breath of elemental air. When you inhale it, you either exhale it or hold it. If you exhale the breath, you create a rush of wind up to 3m wide and 15 m long. If you hold the breath, you don’t need to breathe in for 1 hour.
