Equipment

Equipment can be modified using either the Crafts or Performance skills, depending on the nature of the enhancement. Each peice of Equipment listed below is assumed to be of Average(+1) quality, lower quality equipment can be purchased at -1 Cost but gain an aspect as determined by the GM. Higher quality equipment is available as well with costs dependent on if the addition is an aspect or skill bonus.

Every peice of equipment has an aspect that is the name of the equipment. So if you have a Great Sword listed as equipment, then its aspect is “Great Sword.” This aspect may be compelled or invoked as normal.

Armor can absorb a consequence instead of you when it is being worn properly. In addition the Armor Training stunt allows armor to “soak” stress as well.

A shield can also grant a defensive bonus through the use of the Shield Training stunt.

Using a weapon may grant its wielder a damage bonus to the amount of stress that they cause when using the attack action. In order to gain the damage bonus you must at least succeed on your attack to inflict Physical Stress upon the target.

Range is the number of zones that the weapon can reach when using the Shooting skill. The weapons are not broken out in a huge list of various weapons with little differences, instead they are categorized in broader strokes. Narration determines what weapon can be used with Shooting - Crossbow (yes), Great Sword (no).

• Maintenance cost rolled monthly, failure result in negative aspect

The cost of a healer depends on the highest level of consequence that you wish to have “healed.” The effects of being healed is that the consequence will recover at one step lower (i.e. a Severe Consequence will recover as a Moderate Consequence).
