Using Supernatural ItemsTo use a supernatura item, it must e activat

lthough sometimes activation simply means puring on your nger. Some items, once donned,

unction constant y. Activating a supernatura item isstandard action unless the item description indicatestherwise. However, the casting time of a power is the

time require to activate t e same power in an item,regardless of the type of supernatural item, unless theitem description speci cally states otherwise.

T e our ways to activate supernatura items areescribed below.

Power Completion: This is the activation methodor in usions. An in usion is a power, w ic awaitsompletion via some sort of nishing action ( nal

gestures, words and so on). An infusion can only beused by an adept. Activating a power completion itemis a stan ar action.

Power Trigger: Power trigger activation is similarto power completion, but it is even simpler. No innate

ccess to a power is nee e , just a specia connectionto the supernatural and a single word that must bepoken. Anyone who can use a power knows how

to use a power trigger item. T e user must stietermine what power is stored in the item before hean activate it. Activating a power trigger item takes

t e same amount o time as t e power it is emu atingr modifying and requires a fatigue save if the power

being used would normally require it.Comman Wor : I no activation met o is

uggested either in the supernatural item description or by the nature of the item, assume that a command wordis nee e to activate it. Comman wor activationmeans t at a c aracter spea s t e wor an t e itemctivates. No other special knowledge is needed.

A command word can be a real word, but whent is is t e case, t e o er o t e item runs t e ris

f activating the item accidentally by speakingthe word in normal conversation. More oen, theomman wor is some seeming y nonsensica wor ,r a word or phrase from an ancient language no

longer in common use. Activating a command wordupernatura item is a stan ar action.

Sometimes the command word to activate an itemis wri en right on the item. Occasionally, it might

e i en wit in a pa ern or esign engrave on,arved into, or built into the item, or the item might

bear a clue to the command word.T e Know e ge ( istory) an Know e ge

(supernatural) skills might be useful in helpingto identify command words or deciphering cluesregarding them. A successful check against DC 30 isnee e to come up wit t e wor itse . I t at c ecis failed, succeeding on a second check (DC 25) mightprovide some insight into a clue.

Introduct onSupernatura items are oun t roug out antasy

n egen . T ey come in a types o s apes an sizesfrom ery swords to rings of power to the simplest

f magic beans. They can be acquired in any numberways y conquest, y quest, an even y c ance.

No ma er their origin, their form, or how they were

btained one thing is for certain: in the hands of the right(or wrong) person t ese supernatura items can c angethe fortunes of their possessors and their worlds.

Liber Artefactorum is designed to allow Narratorsn p ayers a i e t e a i ity to exp ore t e en ess

potential of supernatural items in their campaigns.This tome holds all that is necessary to use, design andreate supernatura items o every type imagina e or

whatever campaign se ing and genre is needed. This book also contains a section detailing items designed

or use in t e Nevermore campaign se ing pu is ey Expe itious Retreat Press.

dust, wear a ring, or don a hat. Use activation isgenera y straig t orwar an se -exp anatory.

Many use-activated items are objects that acharacter wears. Continually functioning itemsare practica y a ways items t at one wears. A ewmust simply be in the characters possession (on hisperson). However, some items made for wearing muststi e activate . A t oug t is activation sometimesrequires a command word (see above), usually itmeans mentally willing the activation to happen. The

escription o an item states w et er a commanwor is nee e in suc a case.

Unless stated otherwise, activating a use-activatedsupernatural item is either a standard action or not anaction at a . I t e use o t e item ta es time e orea supernatural e ect occurs, then use activation is astandard action. If the items activation is subsumedin its use an ta es no extra time use activation is notan action at all.

Use activation does not mean that if you use anitem, you automatica y now w at it can o. Youmust know (or at least guess) what the item can doand then use the item in order to activate it, unlesst e ene t o t e item comes automatica y, suc romdrinking a potion or swinging a sword.

Size and Supernatural ItemsW en an artic e o supernatura item is iscovere ,

most of the time size should not be an issue. Manysupernatural items are made to be easily adjustable, ort ey a just t emse ves supernatura y to t e wearer.Size should not keep characters of various kinds fromusing supernatural items.

T ere may e rare exceptions, especia y witracial speci c items.

Supernatural Items on theBody

Many supernatural items need to be donned bya character who wants to employ them or bene trom t eir a i ities. Its possi e or a creature wit a

humanoid-shaped body to wear as many as fourteensupernatural items at the same time. However, eacho t ose items must e worn on (or over) a particu arpart of the body or wielded in one of their hands.

Damaging Supernatural ItemsA supernatura item oes not nee to ma e a saving

throw unless it is una ended, it is speci cally targeted by the e ect, or its wielder rolls a natural 1 on his save.Supernatura items s ou a ways get a saving t rowgainst powers that might deal damage to them, evengainst a acks from which a non-supernatural item

Usage: The item must be used at least onceday. It will not function again for its current

Suggestion power and a cost modi er of -3.Requirements are so epen ent upon suita i ity

to the item that they should never be determinedrandomly. An item with a requirement that is alsointe igent o en imposes its requirement t rougits personality. If the requirement is not met, theitem ceases to function. If it is met, usually the itemunctions or one ay e ore t e requirement must e

met again (although some requirements are one timeonly, others monthly and still others continuous).

Prerequisites: 5 ran s in Know e ge (supernatura )(Unre ia e), Depen ent (see a ove), Requirement(see above); Creation Cost Modi er: -1 (Unreliable),Dependent (see above), Requirement (see above).

Drawback: Items wit raw ac s are usua y sti bene cial to the possessor but they also carry somenegative aspect. Although sometimes drawbacksoccur on y w en t e item is use (or e , in t ecase of some items such as weapons), usually thedrawback remains with the character for as long as he

Characters and Curses Just as a c aracter s ou nt necessari y

immediately know what the special abilities of anoncursed magic item is, he shouldnt immediately

now t at an item is curse . Once e nows, owever,the item can be discarded unless some sort ofcompulsion is placed upon it that compels the wielderto eep an use it.

Compulsion: This special ability for cursed itemsincreases the creation cost by 17 + the Suggestionspower onus. T is counts as a new category o speciaabilities and therefore if less expensive than the

base special ability adds only 10% of its total to thecreation cost. Any power t at can norma y suppressor eliminate a Suggestion e ect suppresses thecompulsion special ability (as well as the items otherspecial abilities) long enough for the character to getri o t e item.

Senses: An inte igent item as a imite a i ityto sense its surroundings. All intelligent items have60 feet of vision (Night Vision and Darkvision) and

earing. T e inte igent items range can e increase by 60 feet for each feat slot spent. In addition, someintelligent items gain the blindsense ability. This

pecia a i ity can on y e a e to items wit t etelepathy special ability and each feat slot spent grants30 feet of blindsense.

Ego: Ego is a measure o t e tota power anforce of personality that an item possesses. Onlyer all aspects of an item have been generatedan its Ego score be calculated. An items Ego scoree ps etermine w et er t e item or t e c aracter isominant in their relationship, as detailed below.

The items Ego score is equal to its creator level+ 1 for speech + 1 for telepathy + 2 for each special

purpose + 2 for each dedicated power + the itemsig est menta a i ity score (Inte igence, Wis omr Charisma).

For example, a arriors (3rd-level) knife of trauaccuracy +5) wit out a specia purpose wou ave anEgo score of 22 (15 for creator level + 1 for speech + 1for telepathy + 5 Wisdom).

Nature: An inte igence item a so as a nature(virtue and vice) and Conviction. Its virtue and viceis etermine y its creator at t e eginning o itsreation.

Any character whose virtue or vice doesnot correspon to t e virtue or vice t e item asimmediately su ers one of the following conditions if

e so muc as pic s up t e item (un ess it is current yrained): ability damaged (1 point; any one abilitycore), deafened, fatigued, shaken, or sickened. Thison ition remains as ong as t e item is in an anannot be overcome in any way, other than spending

Conviction. Spending a point of Conviction allowsthe wielder to ignore the condition for one day. Thisondition is cumulative with any other penalties the

least one virtue or vice in common.

Intell gent Item Act onsUn i e most supernatura items, inte igent items

an activate their own powers without waiting for aommand word from their owner. Intelligent items acturing t eir owners turn in t e initiative or er (or on

their own if they have no current owner).If the item uses a power (or any other action)

that requires a fatigue save, it still makes the save but instead of su ering a level of fatigue it su ers a

actions. A stressed item that su ers an additionalstrain resu t ecomes straine .

Strained: The item su ers a 3 penalty to allmental ability scores and cannot use standard actions.A straine item t at su ers an a itiona strain resu t

Conviction: An intelligent item can spenda Conviction point at any time to e iminate t ecumu ative atigue save mo i er, se ing it ac to +0.

Spec al PurposBy spending one of its feats an intelligent item

can gain a special purpose along with one dedicatedpower. An items specia purpose must suit t e typeand nature of the item and should always be treatedreasonably. A purpose of defeat/slay adepts doesntmean t at t e swor orces t e wie er to i everyadept he sees. Nor does it mean that the sword

believes it is possible to kill every adept in the world.It does mean that the item hates adepts and wants to

ring t e oca a ept action to ruin, as we as en t erule of an adept queen in a nearby land. Likewise, apurpose of defend elves does not mean that if thewie er is an e , e on y wants to e p imse . Itmeans that the item wants to be used in furthering thecause of elves, stamping out their enemies and aidingt eir ea ers. A purpose o e eat/s ay a isnt justa ma er of self-preservation. It means that the itemwill not rest (or let its wielder rest) until it places itselfa ove a ot ers.

Dedicated PowerA e icate power operates on y w en an

intelligent item is in pursuit of its special purpose.This determination is always made by the item. Its ou a ways e easy an straig t orwar to see owthe ends justify the means. Unlike its other powers, anintelligent item can refuse to use its dedicated powereven i t e owner is ominant (see Items againstCharacters, below).

An intelligent item can gain an additional twoe icate powers or one o its specia purposes or

each feat he spends.

Items Aga nst CharactersWhen an item has an Ego of its own, it has a will

of its own. The item is, of course, absolutely true toits nature an specia purpose. I t e c aracter w opossesses the item is not true to that nature or theitems special purpose, then a personality con ict

etween item an c aracter resu ts. Simi ar y, any item

with an Ego score of 20 or higher always considersitself superior to any character and a personalitycon ict resu ts i t e possessor oes not a ways agreewith the item.

When a personality con ict occurs, the possessormust ma e a Wi saving t row wit t e Di cu tyequa to t e items Ego. I t e possessor succee s, e isdominant. If he fails, the item is dominant. Dominancelasts for one day or until a critical situation occurs(suc as a major a e, a serious t reat to eit er t eitem or the character and so on). Should an itemgain dominance, it resists the characters desires and

Calculate the creation cost of the single most costlyategory of abilities, then add 10% of the value of

t e ot er categories, roun to nearest w o e num er(minimum +1).

For example, boots of jumping (+5) and improvedspee wou ave a creation cost o 25 (23 or s i + 2[21 x .1] for Improved Speed).
