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.

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 MD check to deflect 6 points of damage from a physical attack whether ranged or melee, or from a ray or bolt (this includes Lightning Bolt & Lightning Ball) . This does not cost an Action of any kind but does cost ` Strain and may be attempted before the wielder's Initiative. However, once the wielder has failed this roll, no more 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.

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.
