Consumables

Grenadoes

Amorphous Water Balloons

This small sack is woven from glass and magically kept in a fluid state so that temperature exchange cannot take place. It weighs 1 lb, and may be wielded as a grenado or rock.
If wielded as a rock, the balloon must strike an opponent.
If wielded as a grenado, the balloon must strike the hex an opponent is standing in. If successful, anyone in the hex must roll under 1 x AG or have their temperature reduced so low that ice crystals do not form. This places them in a state somewhere between unconsciousness and death. If the ambient temperature is 20 C, it will take 3 Pulses for the target's body to warm to the point that it ice will form in their cells, and this will kill them. The DM may increase or decrease the onset time at their discretion to reflect environments which are much warmer or much colder.
Any miss causes the amorphous water payload to spill onto the wielder, who must Break 100 -> MD x 2 or be subject to the same attack.

Cobalt Chaos Grenado x 3

Rank 6 Alchemy
This grenado contains an alchemical incendiary device. It is usually thrown at a hex within range (15 hexes). The hex has no Defence, but the thrower's SC is reduced by 3 per hex beyond the first. Any Strike Check greater than 70 + MD means that the thrower dropped the grenado at their feet, or, if the roll is 99 or 100, has gone off prematurely.
If the Strike Check result is high enough to indicate a miss but not high enough for a catastrophe, then a scatter D10 is rolled.
On a 1, it was thrown 1D10 feet beyond the target hex.
On a 2, it was hrown 1D10 feet beyond and to the right of the target hex.
On a 3, it was thrown 1D10 feet to the right of the target hex.
On a 4, it was thrown 1D10 feet short and to the right of the target hex.
On a 5, it was thrown 1D10 feet short of the target hex.
On a 6, it was thrown 1D10 feet short and to the left of the target hex.
On a 7, it was thrown 1D10 feet to the left of the target hex.
On an 8, it was thrown 1D10 feet beyond and to the left of the target hex.
On a 9, it was thown 2D10 feet beyond the the target hex.
On a 0, it was thrown 1D10 <bold>hexes</bold> short of the target hex.

Result	# of Spec. Griev. Injuries
1-4	1
5-7	2
8 or 9	3
0	4

Those who share the same hex as the grenado suffer the indicated number of Specific Grievous Injuries. Those one hex further out suffer one less Specific Grievous Injury, and so on until there are no Specific Grievous Injuries left. The grenado inflicts A, B or C Class injuries, so all results are applied.
Targets are allowed to Break 100 + 2 x AG + Rank in Sense Danger to avoid each wound.
The formula is teachable, but whoever teaches it must expend 8,650 Experience for each Alchemist taught.

Potions

Potion of Refined Wolves Blood x 23

This potion weighs 4 oz and need not be Prepared before it can be used if it is attached to a convenient belt or strap. The potion will break if the DM decides that the owner may have unsuccessfully avoided a powerful blow and a percentile roll to avoid destruction exceeds 70.
The imbiber receives a special enhancement to their Actions so that

• a Strike Check in excess of 70 + MD is a miss
• a miss is otherwise a FT blow
• a FT blow is treated as a blow directly to EN
• a blow directly to EN is considered a possible Specific Grievous Injury

in the event of a possible Specific Grievous Injury, 2 are checked for and applied if possible. This potion has a special enhancement which allows it to apply to Actions of a largely mental nature, so they may be applied to spell Casting checks with some differences:

• a roll in excess of 70 + MA is a backfire.
• a failure is a success
• a success is a double effect
• a double effect is a triple effect or two different double effects
• a triple effect is two different triple effects

Casting under the effects of this potion requires some blood from the Adept. In general, they must match the amount of FT spent, minimum of 1. Taking the potion does not require the imbiber to take advantage of its special properties.

GM Black Forest Summer 815 Tanuel Formerly living Healing 5,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Counterspell Potion x 3 This small phial weighs 3 oz and is as long as a man's index finger. So long as it is worn outside of clothing, it need not be Prepared to use. If the DM deems that harm to the bearer may have broken the phial, it will survive on an unmodified Base Chance of 70%. If a Namer takes this potion, their counterspells apply against a Branch of magic rather than a specific College, but the bonus to MR is divided by 3. Counterspells can still be used to banish, dispell, dissipate or prevent Casting, but in this case, the College and body of Knowledge counterspell must be specifically nominated by the Adept. If a non-Namer Adept takes this potion, then they can cast their Counterspells without Preparing them. If a non-Adept takes this potion, they increase their MR versus all College magic by 10. This potion lasts 8 hours. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.??

So long as it is worn outside of clothing, it need not be Prepared to use. If the DM deems that harm to the bearer may have broken the phial, it will survive on an unmodified Base Chance of 70%. When it is taken, the effects of the last poison to effect the imbiber are inverted - Damage is subtracted instead of added, stats are increased rather than decreased, and in general the opposite effect applies than the one intended. However, no more may be added than is subtracted, regardless of the method used to calculate it. The effects of this potion last for 24 Pulses, at which time both it and the poison inverted will be burnt from the their system.

GM Black Forest Summer 815 Sparlainth Magical Poison 6,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Potion of Pentecost This potion is contained in a heavy glass vial and requires a Pulse to Prepare. It weighs 4 oz and does not break easily. A flame appears on the brow of the imbiber as soon as it is drunk. Its effects will last until the next Solstice or Equninox, whichever comes first, or until the flame is extinguished. For the duration, the imbiber acquires the language of whoever they speak with at one Rank less. They may use the time speaking that language as 'immersion' for the purposes of calculating training time if they choose to Rank that language. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed? GM Black Forest Summer 815 Lands of Chaos Magical Communication 5,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Sanctuary This potion weighs 4 oz, and need not be Prepared before it can be used if it is attached to a convenient belt or strap. It will only work for an imbiber who has an honourable reputation. Once drunk, the magic of the potion inflicts honourable behaviour on their opponents insofar as they must refrain from attacking them while the imbiber is not making a Strike Check, Casting or Triggering magic. This is not Resistable. If the imbiber would allow the hostile sanctuary, then they will similarly be granted sanctuary, otherwise it has no effect. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.?? GM Black Forest Summer 815 Nualis Magical Benediction 2,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Poisons Blade Venom of the Marsh Cobra x 3 This robust phial weighs 3 oz. Its contents must be Prepared before anointing a blade, arrow or bolt with it. The effect of this blade venom is to halve the PS, MD, AG and EN value of the victim on a blow that inflicts damage to EN. The process is gradual, taking about half an hour, and is not resistable. It will take at least an hour for the victim's body to fight off the toxins, at which time they must roll under 3 x their base EN to recover. This will take about half an hour or so. If the EN check is not made, then they must wait until dawn the following day to attempt to recover. However, their chance is now 3 x (EN/2). If this fails, they lose 1 EN point, and can only attempt to recover on the following dawn, the chance being 3 x ((EN-1)/2), and so on until they recover or die. If the victim is gathered while the venom is still in their body, and the blood from their heart poured out, then a special property may be extracted therefrom. On most occasions, this ichor will be congruent with some or all of their Aspect, either the Season Stars or Elemental parts, or entirely if Lunar, Solar, Death or Life Aspected. Rich experiences of life increase these properties. A non-adventuring mortal would only have 1 such quality, a beginning adventurer about 3, a medium level adventurer as much as 15, a high level adventurer would return more, even, than this.

GM Black Forest Summer 815 Sparlainth Formerly living Serpent 3,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Bullet Venom x 4 This robust phial weighs 3 oz. Its contents must be Prepared before anointing a lead bullet. The effect of this venom is to cause the bullet to splinter on contact with blood, inflicting D10 damage per Pulse for 3 Pulses. This will stack with other envenomed bullets and is independent of any other damage the bullet may do. Unless handled by someone who is bleeding, the venom may be anointed by anyone without requiring an MD check, not just Assassins.

GM Black Forest Summer 815 New Terra Weird Science Fractals 2,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Invested Gems Other Invested Items Raygun of Cold x 4 This long, staff-like weapon weighs 3 lbs and has a Base Chance of 60% + the wielder's MA of shooting out a blue-white ray of cold that will inflict D + 15 damage on the first object or entity that intersects its path. A Strike Check in the range of a blow directly to EN inflict double damage, ones in the range of a possible Specific Grievous Injury inflict triple damage. The target's Defense is never consulted, although entities are entitled to a Magic Resistance check, which will have their damage. It can fire 3 such rays before becoming depleted, however, when each ray fires, a bulb of liquid, super-cooled ice is created on the stock. The weapon can be swung like a light war hammer or military pick at the wielder's discretion. It has a base Strike Chance of 55% and the DM is D10 + 1. If a bulb of super cold liquid ice has formed, then the weapon inflicts D100 cold damage + a possible Specific Grievous Injury, any result applying, as the bulb ruptures and eplosively forms spikes of solid ice. The weapon may be reloaded by using a Pass Action and an Amorphous Water Balloon Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.?

If injected, the subject will fall ill and suffer 'flu-like symptons until they recover. Each day they are ill they may roll their EN or less, success indicating recovery. Each day they fail, their EN is reduced by 1. The attentions of a Healer or physician but not a barber, allow the subject to subtract 10 from the die roll result. Any survivor of the illness is immune to the effects of the Nazi Zombie virus. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.? GM Black Forest Winter 815 New Terra Formerly living Weird Science Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Crystals Charms Pureheart Charm This scrap of parchment weighs ¼ lb and contains three charges of the Pureheart Charm. It does not need to be read out, in fact the phrase must be memorised and uttered, requiring a Free Act, the parchment itself might be kept in the owner's backpack, or even at home. When the charm is spoken aloud, the number of charges is reduced by 1 wherever they are, and it may not be uttered again until after the next dawn. The phrase must be spoken by the character's player in a clear voice without hesitation, stumbling or unnecessary pause. The phrase is: 'My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure!' It will not work for anyone whose heart could not be reasonably considered pure, and never for anyone who has any Ranks in Assassin. If it does work, the effect lasts for three Pulses and multiplies the utterer's base PS by 10. Bonuses from magic and items are added after the multiplication. Weapons Viridian Wing This fan is folded from the wing of an enormous butterfly. The pleats are iridescent and alternately dark green and dark blue. Indeed, by holding it at the appropriate angle to the light or moving it just so, it may appear to be any shade between the two colours. It will magically harmonise with the wearer's other clothes so that it contrasts strikingly or matches dynamically with them. Although this does not increase their PB, it does positively affect their social prestige so that, at the DM's discretions, others believe them to have started an exciting new fashion trend. This will be implemented in the style that the DM prefers. It may be wielded as a shield, although using the same values and Experience cost as a main gauche. The base Strike Chance is 47% and it inflicts D10 + 2 C Class damage. The fan's Defence bonus applies to ranged attacks and if an arrow would successfully strike the However, the fan may be used to cut 1 physical bolt or arrow per Pulse by Breaking 100 -> 2 x MD + Rank in Fan. Once an evening, the Fan provides protection from being overheard at a social gathering. To prevent a conversation from being overheard, the wielder must Break 100 -> Rank in Courtesan + Rank in Fan + PB. The number generated over 100 indicates the number of Pulses of private conversation. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.?? GM Black Forest Summer 815 Nualis Formerly living Folding Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Bone Saw This surgical bone saw weighs 18oz, has a sharp point and a serrated edge. It may only be wielded by a Healer as a dagger, although a physician or barber can use it to cut bone. This weapon may not be thrown. As a weapon, it has a base Strike Chance of 53 and inflicts D + 3 base damage. This is increased by 1 for every four Ranks in Dagger and Healer. The weapon inflicts A & B Class injuries. The wielder subtracts their Rank in Healer from the die roll result of the Strike Check. In addition, if the wielder spends 3 FT, they may inflict D10 - 5 + Rank in Healer damage directly to EN, the FT cost being spent on a successful Strike Check.

GM Black Forest Summer 815 Nualis Magical Flesh Crafting Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Dusk Blades & Sheath This scaled leather sheath contains three Dusk Blades and the entire thing weighs 1 lb. These Dusk Blades are daggers but may only be thrown, and have the following properties: The blades never lodge in a wound, although they may be envenomed, and fade once they have inflicted their damage Three attacks may be made on the same or different targets in the same Pulse without penalty If worn on a bandolier or the like (i.e. in an obvious, easily accessible place) they need not be Prepared before being used. The base Strike Chance is 57% The base Damage Modifier is D10 + 1. However, if a non-prime number is rolled on the damage die, it is doubled. They are treated as missile weapons, not thrown, for the purposes of calculating range penalties Blows directly affecting EN are inflicted on 20% of the modified Strike Chance, Specific Grievous Injuries on 10% They are A Class weapons, but if a Specific Grievious Injury is checked for, any result that ends in a 3 is considered to be 13 The blades return to the sheath on the occasion of the next dusk Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.?? GM Black Forest Summer 815 Nualis Magical Dusk 8,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Armour Transuranian Fur Coat x 3 This fur coat counts as cloth armour and provides six points of protection. It has a weight factor of 2.5, and will adjust itself to its wearer. It is very cool and the wearer subtracts five from the gauge. It can quickly become dangerously cold. For every point that the wearer's gauge is below seven, they will lose one point of FT per hour. Magical abilities may reduce or remove these penalties. At a cost of two FT, the wearer may take the general appearance of a type of creature they have studied. This study is treated as an Adventuring Skill with an Experience Multiple of 125. Each creature type is learnt and advanced separately and is considered to be the Rank of the disguise. They must have had an opportunity to examine the creature's behaviour reasonably closely. The wearer may disguise themselves as a creature of the same size or a creature larger in size by up to Rank feet in any dimension, whichever is greater. They may not disguise themselves as something smaller than themselves. The disguise can be sustained for as long as the wearer maintains concentration. At least four points of FT must be surrendered to the coat each day or it will starve, dying in seven days. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.? GM Black Forest Summer 815 Uranus Living non-sentient Disguise 12,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Snakeskin Leather Jacket This light leather jacket is sized for a human and weighs 3 lbs. It provides 7 points of Protection and 3 Spell Armour. A point of Damage Reduction may be bought for the jacket by sacrificing a point of EN to it. This may be increased once per season or adventure, whichever is less, by sacrificing double the amount of EN previously spent. This EN may be bought back in the usual way. The scales absorb ambient sound and has minor colour shifting properties, increasing the amount of benefit the wearer gains from Stealth by 7 per Rank as opposed to 5. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.?? GM Black Forest Summer 815 New Terra Magical Serpent 13,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Miscellaneous Transuranian Pocket Robe This white robe is sized for a creature of size 7 but may be cut down by an Artisan Tailor of Rank 8. it will take 7 days per size category to cut it down to fit someone of smaller size, and they will charge 2,000 sp per week for their labour. The size factor is 1. It inflicts a penalty to Stealth of 30 in any environment except Arctic, where it provides a 10 point bonus. It is loose, light and may be worn over leather or mail but not plate armour. The robe has 10 pockets, each of which may contain an object of not more than 5lbs in weight and which has two dimensions no greater than 4 inches. Objects placed in the pocket weight nothing and may be found unerringly by the wearer and with no more than a Free Act. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.? GM Black Forest Summer 815 Uranus Magical Void Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Tranuranian Belt This belt weighs 5 lbs and is made from five 5 inch by 2 inch sections of a pale blue transparent glass, joined by dark green opaque links, also made of glass. It may be draped over a shoulder by threading through a sturdy epaulette, or worn around the neck like a stole and strapped into position on armour, but must be securely attached. The glass is as tough as steel and as flexible as willow. If the wearer spends 1 FT, this belt reduces their weight down to 1/3rd, 90 lbs becomes 30 lbs, etc. This effect lasts for 10 minutes, and can be renewed as long as the wearer pays the FT cost. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.? GM Black Forest Summer 815 Uranus Magical Force 8,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Crown of Mentacles This appears to be a crystal diadem but is, in fact, an organ ripped from the body of a creature not known to mortal men. It weighs 2 lbs. If it is worn then it provides the following bonuses: +5 to the Base Chance of any spell of a telekinetic nature (Telekinesis, Levitation, Telekinetic Rage, Force Shield, Disruption, Transmutation). Telekinesis costs 1 less FT to cast. 5 is subtracted from the die roll when casting Disruption. Telekinetic Rage may be cast as a cone 15 feet + 5 feet per Rank long, 5 feet + 5 feet per 3 or fraction Ranks wide. Anyone caught in the area must resist versus Mind College Special or take D10 + 2 per Rank damage. Those that resist take half damage. Those who fail but are still alive must roll under PS + AG or fall prone. Force Shield gains an extra point of Defence for every two Ranks. Mentacles The Adept may manifest tentacles of telekinetic force, or mentacles, by casting Telekinesis on the crown. There are five of these mentacles and they are unseeable to anyone except a Mind Mage, to whom they likely appear rather unnerving. The mentacles have a reach in feet up to the Adept's Rank in Telekinesis. By means of the mentacles, the Adept can levitate up to a height equal to the reach of the mentacles. TMR is calculated replacing AG with MA and PS with WP, and any racial bonuses or penatlies are ignored. The Adept may climb at up to half this TMR. The DM may apply any other penalty to climbing TMR they see fit. If an attempt is made to grapple or to get out of close, then the Adept may improve their chances by adding their WP to their PS. Mentacles lack the dexterity to wield weapons effectively, but they can easily manipulate solid objects about the size of a cigar box or bigger. For the purpose of calculating their maximum lifting capacity, the PS of a mentacle is the same as the Adept's WP. If a second mentacle is used then half the Adept's WP is added to the PS, and so on. Example An Adept has 21 WP, so one mentacle has 21 PS for the purposes of lifting a stone block, two mentacles raise the PS to 32 (+11), three raise it to 38 (+6), four raise it to 41 (+3) and the fifth mentacle would make PS 43(+2).

GM Black Forest Summer 815 Uranus Formerly living Telekinesis 30,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Crown of Telepathic Mentacles This appears to be a crystal diadem but is, in fact, an organ ripped from the body of a creature not known to mortal men. It weighs 2 lbs. If it is worn then it provides the following bonuses: +5 to the Base Chance of any magic of a telepathic nature (Telepathy, ESP, Mental Attack, Hypnotism, Phantasm). 5 is subtracted from the die roll when casting Mental Attack. Phantasm may be cast as a spell with a duration of 5 seconds (+5 per 2 Ranks). Mentacles The Adept may manifest telepathic tentacles, or mentacles, by casting ESP on the crown. There are five of these mentacles and they are unseeable to anyone except those who know the ESP or Telepathy spell, and likely appear rather unnerving. The mentacles have a reach in feet up to the Adept's Rank in ESP + WP feet. If the Adept Breaks 100 -> 2 x WP + modified MA - Target's WP, they have estbalished a form of limited mental contact with up to 5 targets. Even if they cannot be seen or otherwise detected, so long as they are within range of the mentacles, the targets may legally be targeted with any of the telepathic spells listed above. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.? GM Black Forest Summer 815 Uranus Formerly living Telepathy 40,000sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Severe This is a mail gauntlet for the left hand made of truesilvered orichalcum and weighs 1 ½ lbs. It has five fingers and one thumb. All are functional. The Individual True Name of this gauntlet is Severe, and it has no Generic True Name. Once a day, resetting at dawn, it is a legal target for the Compelling Obedience spell. While the spell is active on Severe, then the wielder may perform one additional Pass Action per Pulse that they could reasonably execute with that hand (and the arm associated with it). As long as duration and Pass Actions remain, these can be executed according to Rank in the Individual True Name: Rank Wielder is Pass Actions 0 - 3 active 1 4 & 5 active 2 6 & 7 stunned, dazed etc 2 8 - 11 stunned, dazed etc 3 12 stunned, dazed etc 4 13 - 15 unconscious 4 16 - 19 unconscious 5 20 dead 5 The wielder's PS and MD are raised by 6 for the left hand only. As a cestus, the base Strike Chance is 67%. It inflicts D10 + 4 damage but if a non-prime number is rolled on the damage die, it is doubled. The gauntlet inflicts C Class wounds, but if the Specific Grievous Injury check falls on a number fully divisible by 11 (i.e. 11, 22...99), the gauntlet has plunged through the chest of their opponent and ripped out their beating heart. This is usually fatal and always impolite. Damage that specifically attacks the left wrist or hand is always reduced by 6 points or the value of the wearer's other armour, whichever is greater. In addition, the wearer may Break 100 + 2 x MD to avoid the effects of a Specific Grievous Injury to the left hand or wrist. If, by reason of curse, birth defect or witch mark, the wearer actually has six digits on their left hand, then two other special abilities become available to them. The wearer may determine by touch whether an object or entity is not native to the present realm, of if a place is a dimensional portal, middlemarch or similar. They must Break 100 -> MD + PC. Only one such attempt is allowed per place, object or entity. The wearer may Prepare and Cast the Banishment spell as a single Pass Action. Once used, this abilitiy is lost until the living heart of a sentient is burnt on the palm of the gauntlet. A distant bell will toll on these occasions.

This may be worn over metal armour. It is a legal target for the Ritual of Enchantment. Instead of Black Myrrh, however, lotus oil costing 200 sp per Rank must be burnt. For the duration of the Ritual, the wearer if a woman, receives the following benefits: Once per day they may transform into a crane for a period of 1/2 an hour (+ 1/2 an hour / Rank of the Ritual): Description This crane stands 5ft 2in tall, weighs 10 kgs and has a wingspan of 8 feet. It requires an area at least 10 feet wide to fly, and a space this close will require Flying checks. Special Abilities Cranes are largely unaffected by the effects of high altitude, nor do they suffer any penalties from normal weather that is no worse than sub-arctic.

Flight properties At heights in excess of 13 metres, crane's movement rate increases to 30 mph and they can climb at an angle of 30°. However, this is taxing and costs 1 FT every 20 minutes. Gliding is not taxing. The glide ratio is 16:1 and the movement rate 30 mph (+2 mph / Rank in the Adventuring Skill, Gliding). Flight ceiling is 6,000 metres The wearer receives a 10 point bonus to any activity involving dancing. Once per season, they may determine whether or not a couple are truly in love. They may bless those truly in love so that they may modify the die roll result of an Action they take in support of each other by the Rank of this Ritual. This lasts for 1 (+ 1 per 10 full Ranks in the Ritual) Actions. The wearer is awarded a Fidelity point by the DM in such circumstances. They may modify the die result of a "Luck" roll by the Rank / 2 of the Ritual. This costs a Fidelity point. Adventure Season Plane of Origin Aura Nature of Magic Value Cursed etc.? GM Black Forest Summer 815 New Terra Formerly living Chrysanthemum sp Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Blank Phylactery This is a scroll that appears to be itemised so as to form a brooch. A spell may be invested in the phylactery at five times the normal cost. From that point on, the phylactery can be read as a scroll (taking two full pulses), but instead of being used up, the spell will become reinvested on the following dawn. The cast chance of the invested spell is the Base Chance plus three times the Rank. Bonuses from Enchantment and College modifiers are only applied when the cast check is made, the investor's Enchantment or situational modifiers have no effect. No bonus (or penalty) for Magical Aptitude is ever considered. If the roll of the Cast Check should ever fall on a number fully divisible by 10 (e.g. 10, 20, 30, etc), then whoever is reading the phylactery must resist versus a Backfire, or the phylactery will be destroyed. If that number would be a success, then the spell is cast even if the MR versus Backfire fails destroying the phylactery.

Its magic will only be effective if it is worn on the ring finger of the right hand. The wearer subtracts 10 from the die roll whenever they attempt to resist magic, making it more likely that they will succeed. It does not increase Magic Resistance. In addition, it surrounds the wearer with 11 pentagonal planes of protection that float around them on all sides. Each pentagon is inscribed with magical glyphs along the edges. A pentagon will appear and protect the wearer so that the first 7 physical damage points the wearer takes per pulse are ignored. This does not work vs most kinds of magical damage, although it can be applied to damage from spells like Diamond Javelins, Ice Bolt or Ice Projectiles. Nor does it protect against hits directly to EN or Specific Grievous Injuries. If the wearer has some similar means of protection, then the greatest protection will apply.

GM Black Forest Summer 815 New Terra Magical Solar Jim Arona 021 076 9376 Allies Zygote Zygote is a care-free and happy testicle who likes nothing more than to hang out with his friends. He enjoys colourful surroundings and breezy, tropical climes and any opportunity to meet other organs of generation in a variety of convivial exchanges. He wears a jaunty hat and carries a small bronze swagger stick which he twirls across the fingers of his left hand from time to time. Although his dexterity is not the greatest, he never drops it. Zygote gives Boris the following abilities: Increased virility - Boris increases his virility by 50, and may generate issue with women of any player character race except Elves. Resistance to vertigo - Boris applies a 10 point modifier in his favour whenever he may be disoriented by being swung around or hung upside down. Unfortunately, not everyone finds encountering Zygote all that pleasant, and this has repercussions when procuring entertainment from people who rent their passion, and they will charge a minimum of 50% more than the going rate. For each child that is born from Boris' endeavours, then he may store a single charge that will regenerate 1 EN per Pulse for 6 Pulses. This does not stack or queue. Another Regenerative Charge will only be awarded after the current one is used. Finally, Boris may combine a Pass Action with any other Action (including a Pass Action). This ability may not be used again until 24 hours have elapsed. Lore Adventuring Skill: Gliding Exp. Mult: 125 This is the skill of performing aerial manoeuvres using gliding. As a rule, aerial combat is difficult. A character may always take off, glide, or land in an appropriate manner and reasonable conditions, and under such circumstances no roll is necessary. Note that landing appropriately is not precise. The success chance to perform a complex aerial manoeuvre with precision is (3 x AG + 10 x Rank). This base chance may be modified by the following: 0 to -50 Environmental conditions. +10 to -50 Type of flight used. 0 to -m/hr Speed. Gliding into an obstacle causes up to [D + (relative speed in miles per hour / 10) squared] endurance damage. The nature of the obstacle may reduce the damage. Specific Grievous injuries (normally C class) may also be incurred. See Climbing (§29.1) for falling (as opposed to gliding) damage. As a rule of thumb, an airborne clothed humanoid who falls through the air drops 350ft in the first pulse, 650ft in the second, and 1000ft in each subsequent pulse. Note that a speed of one mile per hour is equal to 30 yards per minute in the chase sequence and 1.5 hexes per pulse in combat. Special Abilities Discriminating Sense of Taste & Smell Experience Multiple: 150 Base Chance: PC + 3 * Rank Effects:Yuko's sense of smell and taste is enhanced so that the can distinguish smells & tastes that are food, drink or kitchen-related.
