Consumables

Potions

Race Potion

This elixir is contained in a heavy brass bottle and requires a Pulse to Prepare. It weighs 9 oz and does not break easily.
If this potion is drunk by a non-human, the imbiber increases some of their racial bonuses. Thus, a dwarf would gain +2 PS, +2 EN, +2 WP, and +1 PC unless this would increase a stat beyond race maximum, in which case they would only gain +1 to PS, EN & WP. Their Dark Vision extends to 75 feet under the open sky, 150 feet inside man-made structures and 225 feet in caverns and tunnels. Their tolerance for alcohol is 3 x that of a human and if they do not have this ability already, they acquire it:
They may subtract 10 from the die roll to dodge the trample attacks of any large humanoid creature, e.g. ogres, giants, trolls and the like.
Their movement rate or TMR is never penalised for moving over Rough terrain (i.e. ground that is broken or steep). If the terrain is so steep it has to be climbed, they gain no benefit.
They can smell metal and ore at a range of 50 feet (assuming still air) or gems up to 10 feet, by rolling under PC + 2 x Merchant Rank. If they roll 10% or less, they may even recognise currency.
A shapechanger would gain +1 PB, 1 extra change per day per quarter of the moon, in other words from 2 to 5 changes, dawn to dawn. The duration of the change during the day can be extended by an extra hour. They would also regenerate 1 point every 30 seconds, their Magic Resistance is increased by a further 5% and they reduce damage when shape-changed by 8 instead of 5.

Clockwork Eggs

This white enamel ovoid is about the size of a hen's egg. A small panel opens on the side to reveal a hole into which a key can be inserted. Once it has been wound up and closed, it may be swallowed, where it will work for 72 hours. Over this period of time, the person who swallowed it will be somewhat protected by magic that attacks consciousness or personality. If they are Charmed, Hypnotised, Bound or otherwise Controlled, on a Pulse by Pulse basis, they may accept the instruction given to them, in which case nothing unusual happens. if they choose otherwise, then they do not obey the instruction, but are Slowed until they begin obeying.
If they are rendered asleep or unconsciousness but are otherwise alive, they may take Actions as normal, except that they are Slowed.

Black Dragon Scale

7 Inch Scale

This inky black scale is matte, 7 inches across and weighs 11 oz. It may be made into a pauldron by an Armourer who can work Dragon Scale. There is only one, so a decision must be made as to which shoulder it will protect.
The work must be begun on a Thursday and will take 6 days without interruption, and this will cost 2,750 sp in materials.
Once completed, the pauldron will protect that shoulder from the Specific Grievous Injury results 68 & 69, and either 85-87 or 88 & 89 depending on which shoulder was protected.

Green Dragon Bits

Green Dragon Grenadoes x 4

These green scales are 5 inches across and weigh 14 oz each. They may be forged to resemble tiny maces and thrown as if they were grenadoes. This require the arts of a Rank 7 Weaponsmith, and each require 600sp of Flowers of Sulphur. It will take 3 days to make 10 grenadoes.
If a grenado hits a wooden object, it will release a noxious fluid that will convert a hex of it (about 300 lbs) to a black slime. If the wood is part or all of an entity that can move, they may attempt to dodge out of the way by rolling under their AG. Multi-hex creatures made of wood will likely lose one of their hexes.
If a grenado impacts the ground, then it will convert it to a boggy swamp with a diameter of 10 hexes. Movement across the swampy area is by turns slippery (requiring a 2 x AG check for each hex passed through) or fall prone and grasping (requiring a PS check to escape if prone).

Fallen Throne Componentry

These parts constitute the remains of a pair of Fallen Thrones, who know doubt are missing them and may be developing a feeling of resentment for the new users as time goes by.

Throne Jewels x 51

These gems are living rubies and sapphires which have been ground to perfect spheres so that they may act as bearings at the point where metal connects to metal and without any requirement for lubrication.
With respect to a clockwork device of a Mechanician's making, this will increase its efficiency and accuracy while reducing friction to a movement. 17 jewels will reduce such a device from about the size of a large mantle clock to a cameo brooch.
An enterprising Mechanician may find other uses for them.
They are of poor gem quality, because, except for the perfect sphericality, they have little ornamental value (700sp each) although they are of substantial interest to Summoners and Mechanicians (2,100sp each).

Bridge & Movement x 2

Each bridge provides the framework on which each movement sits and is made from living brass, silver and elemental bronze. Each bridge is a semi-circle about a metre across at the base, weighs 18 lbs, the movement being mechanical componentry, also made from living brass, silver and elemental bronze, weighing a further 7 lbs.
Currently, such an automaton might have a PS of 13 and either an MD of 8 or an AG of 9, but not both. The maximum these values may be increased is Rank in Mechanician.
Only a Mechanician who can Repair Muscle can modify or repair the movement, only one who can Repair Bone can modify or repair the bridge.

Mainspring x 2

This mainspring weighs 2 lbs and may be attached to an automaton to give it a FT reserve of 17. The maximum this value may be raised to is 2 x the Mechanician's Rank. When this reserve is exhausted, the device becomes inactive. The FT reserve may be restored by a Mechanician who can Transfer Fatigue.
Only a Mechanician who knows how to make Tempers and can Repair Muscle can modify or repair the mainspring.

Cogs & Gears x 87

Cogs and gears increase the PS, MD and AG of an automaton or the FT value of a mainspring. Inevitably, however, they create points of friction in the device where metal grinds against metal. The law of diminishing return applies and the ensuing inefficiency quickly makes a device impractical. Throne jewels may be used to offset this inefficiency. The first point of PS, AG or MD costs 1 cog or gear, mainsprings increasing the first point of FT value by 2. This doubles for each further point of increase. Each cog (and attendant assembly) will increase the weight by 7.5 lbs and the size by 1 cubic foot, similarly doubling for each point of increase. Each throne jewel set into the device will reduce the weight by 7 lbs and the size by 1 cubic foot.

Weapons

Prime Darts x 3

These darts weigh 6 oz each. Their base Strike Chance is 40%, however they ignore penalties for range and their target's Defence, except for their base AG. It requires 1,000 Experience to bond with each dart. If the dart hits, a D10 is rolled and the following table is consulted to calculate damage:

Die Roll	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	0
Damage	2	3	5	7	11	13	17	19	23	29

Bonus damage from Skill or Magic may only be applied if this would result in a prime value.
Once thrown, the darts will return to the wielder at midnight.

This spear weighs 5 lbs and has a serrated blade made of iron. The base Strike Chance is 60% and the base Damage is 2 rollup D10. It inflicts possible Specific Grievous Injuries on 10% of the modified Strike Chance and blows directly to EN on 20%. In the case of a blow directly to EN, damage is increased by 3, and a further 3 in the case of a possible Specific Grievous injury, whether or not one is rolled.
The spear inflicts A Class wounds and B Class wounds, although amputations are ignored.
The spear accepts weapon spells.

Die Roll	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	0
Damage	2	3	5	7	11	13	17	19	23	29

This weapon can be a pike, spear, javelin or dart at the will of the wielder, requiring a PS of 18 and an MD of 16 to wield. Extra damage from excess PS will not break the weapon if it is 60 or less. Base Strike Chance is 55% and base Damage is D10 + 6, and may be further enhanced with Weapon spells.

Lore

Books

Blueprints of the Perpetuum Mobile v11.7

This book is illegible unless it is thrown into a fire, and even then it is only readable by the person who threw it in. The flames will burn for no more than 1 hour.
Once this is done, the reader learns how to make a perpetuum mobile device which makes use of an ethereal flywheel. It will take about 4 hours per day for nine weeks to build the device, and if successful, the Mechanician may advance their Rank in the Skill to 9 at 90% of the Experience.
The Mechanician must collect the tears of a cloud on an iron mountain sufficient to fill a large copper bath. Then, must they press sufficient juice of the olive to fill a barrel made of juniper wood. Then must they take a hogshead of blackest dwarf beer, innocent of the sun. Each of these must be spun into a thread by one who can Bind Water, which will be 45 metres of Paris long, and which must be no thicker than a skeleton's lips.
The thread must be worked into a lace using a silver needle, and this will take seven days. If it is successful, a goose egg may be placed in the lace and it will hold it securely.
Half a teacup each of copper, tin, arsenic and silver must be melted together in equal amounts and stirred using a cold-forged iron rod. Once the alloy has combined, it must be poured into a mold of the same shape as the goose egg. A hole must be drilled into the centre of the metal and a gill of aqua regia poured into the hollow, which must be sealed with gold. The metal must be quickly transferred to the lace, which should hang upon a frame and the building exited in good order. If the operation is performed on the dark of the moon, the magnetic influences of the night will trap the alloy which has been volatilised by the vitriol into the lace. Usually, without harm to the structure the operation was performed in.
If the Mechanician investigates once the metal stops reacting, then they should find the lace has taken on some of the properties of the metals as well as the fluids that make it up and is now stable. As much as can be expected. The lace may be attached to a harness that supports an ethereal flywheel, which will create the device described below.

Perpetuum Mobile v 11.7

This is an enhancement to the Gyro-Stablised Dwarf Harness.
The alloy and Bound fluid lace may draw 1 Flywheel point and extend itself out into an inertial sphere of 1 foot radius per Master Rank in Mechanician. This will interact directly with the moment of gravity, allowing the dwarf to move at an enhanced rate. The dwarf may jump and absorb the impact of landing, storing it at a rate of 1 Flywheel point per Pulse until the assembly is fully charged. This allows the dwarf to use the Gyro-Stablised Dwarf Harness in the following ways:

• The harness allows the dwarf to absorb falling damage so long as it has sufficient capacity. Falling damage in excess of the storage capacity of the Flywheel is applied to the dwarf
• The dwarf may make bounds that cover 1 hex per Flywheel point spent. Care must be taken since the dwarf will rise 1 hex per 3 hexes leapt. If there is insufficient clearance then this may inflict harm and will, at the very least, attract a Ricochet Check. If this is attempted in Combat and TMR is exceeded by this movment, then the dwarf is considered to have no Defence or Magic Resistance.
• The dwarf may make a vertical leap which will cost 2 Flywheel points per hex.If there is insufficient clearance then this may inflict harm and will, at the very least, attract a Ricochet Check. If this is attempted in Combat and TMR is exceeded by this movment, then the dwarf is considered to have no Defence or Magic Resistance.
• The dwarf's TMR while bounding is increased by 1 for every Master Rank they have in Mechanician.
• They may absorb the impact of a bound if it is less than their modified TMR in the following manner: The dwarf bounds 15 feet but uses their TMR of 5 (in other words, they use all of their TMR but only move 3 hexes), then they charge the Flywheel by 2 points.
• They may enhance their Movement Rate by powering up the Flywheel in the approved manner and spending 1 FT per hour. They may travel at a rate of 880 yards per minute (+ 30 yards/minute per Rank in Mechanician) or 30 MPH (+1 MPH per Rank in Mechanician). Aside from terra firma, this will allow them to travel across swamps, lava, marshes and even water so long as they do not stop.
• They acquire this Adventuring Skill:

Personal Ricochet

Experience Multiple: 150
Base Chance: (base EN + PC) + 12 x Rank
Effects:This Skill lets the dwarf to manoeuvre as they bounce around, From time to time, the DM may require the dwarf to make a Ricochet Check to determine if they could have avoided obstacles, landed upright or executed a particularly difficult activity while careening around terrain features. In general, the Ricochet Check is penalised by the dwarfs movement rate in MPH. Further penalties may be assigned depending on how difficult the task seems.
In addition, it allows the dwarf to deliver a Charge attack by bouncing off terrain features in a bewildering and acrobatic bewildering way. This increases their Strike Chance and Defence while executing a Charge attack. Penalties for not using a weapon rated for Charge are ignored, although bonuses are not, and they may move their full TMR and deliver the Charge with any weapon. They must bounce off a number of different surfaces, each such bounce increasing their Strike Chance and Defence by +5. Subsequent bounces on the same surface do not count, the dwarf must bounce off different ones. For example, they bounce off the floor (1) then the left-hand wall (2), the ceiling (3) and the right-hand wall (4) for a bonus to Strike Chance and Defence of +20. They could bounce off these surfaces again, provided they have the TMR, but they no longer contribute to the bonus.
The chance of executing the first bounce is the Base Chance listed above, subject to any penalties the DM believes are appropriate. This chance is halved for each subsequent bounce, x 1 for the first bounce, x 0.5 for second bounce, 0.25 for the third, and so on. The dwarf's course is plotted before they execute it, and if any bounce fails, the entire attempt fails, potentially quite catastrophically, depending on the sadism of the DM (who is encouraged to be vindictive).
The dwarf's Movement Rate with the Perpetuum Mobile v 11.7 is increased by 30 yards per minute per Rank in this Adventuring Skill (1 MPH per Rank).
