Weapons

Heavy Bronze Hand and a Half

This bronze hand and a half weighs 12 lbs. It requires PS 17 and MD 16 to wield and the base Strike Chance is 45%. Strike Chance increases by 1 for every point of PS in excess of 17 to a maximum of 37, and has no chance of breaking unless subjected to PS in excess of 90. Base damage is +6 and inflicts C Class damage.
The wielder may attempt a multi-hex attack at a penalty of 20 to Strike Chance, and this is a special attack.

Armour

Large Bronze Shield

This large, rectangular shield of bronze and dark brown hardwood weighs 35 lbs. It provides 6 points of Defense per Rank and reduces MD by 4. In addition, the wielder may make a 3 x modified MD check to deflect 6 points of damage from a physical attack whether ranged or melee, or from a ray or bolt (excluding Lightning Bolt, Lightning Ball & Lightning Strike) that passes through the wielder's front hexes. These are Free Actions and may be attempted before the wielder's Initiative but cost 1 point of Strain each time. Once the wielder has failed a check, no more are allowed until the following Pulse.
The shield may absorb two Specific Grievous Injuries before it is cloven. While it is whole, it may be repaired by the arts of a Rank 6+ Artisan: Lindener or a Rank 4+ Weaponsmith who can make and maintain shields.

Jewellery

Pearl Lip Pin x 2

This lip pin is made from gold and holds a small, freshwater pearl. It weighs 1 oz, and must pierce the lip for its magic to be effective.
Once a day, resetting after dawn and the performance of the toilette, the wearer may Cast a spell without Uttering. The pin has no effects on gestures required to Cast spells.

Golden Eyebrow Bar

This bar of gold is half an inch long, 1/7th of an inch wide and, if worn by a person of decency, it increases Encumbrance by 1 lb. It must be set into an eyebrow so that the gold emerges from either side.
The wearer may look at an entity within 40 feet, requiring a Free Act, Break Active MR => MA + PC. If the result is greater than this, the wearer has successfully calculated how many pints of blood they hold. If they result is 100 or higher, the wearer may ask a question, similar to the working of the Detect Aura Talent, but only with respect to their character. The wearer might ask, for example, how honest the target is, how pious, if they are a psychopath. They cannot ask if they have committed a murder, stolen money etc. Only the nature of their personality may be interrogated.

Miscellaneous

The Black King

This small black chess piece weighs 1/8th of an oz. It is an enormously magical figurine, and may not be destroyed. If it is placed in a position where it would be destroyed, it is moved to the Abyss at a "random" location.
Whoever bears the piece gains adds 10 to their Rank in Binding Will, 0 being a Rank. Thus, if they do not know this ritual at all, they may execute it at Rank 9.
It will subtly direct its bearer towards the chessboard, whoever holds it and cannot be persuaded from this.
Although the king may not be destroyed, it may be surrendered to execute a change in reality over its hex and all the ones surrounding it. Although this is "wish" magic, it is not a wish, and may only be used to change the space it occupies.
Not much is known about the workings of this ability and wondering out loud if such and such a phrasing might produce a particular outcome is a wasted effort. If the DM doesn't understand what is intended the king either does nothing or spreads the bearer's body is reduced to a collection of teacup-sized lumps, each one scattered to a different plane of creation.
