Armor is the broad term used to describe protective gear; it does not require the character to conform to a medieval concept and may encompass styles from fantasy through science fiction.  Though the physical representation of armor can differ, all armor must be present in costume and must be approved by a safety staff member at character sign in. Armor phys reps must cover the torso of the player at minimum, or provide equivalent coverage over the body.

The equipping of armor inhibits the use of any called dodges and the quickness path that the character may possess.  Armor must be worn to grant the associated points in armor.  All armors apply bonuses from the Constitution stat as well as the Armor Skill Path. As a final note, a character wearing a helmet is immune to the skill Waylay.

Prerequisite: First Aid

This skill allows the character to heal 10 health points per purchase for every 60 count of uninterrupted care.  Should the Medic be interrupted, the action is unsuccessful and must be reattempted.  Medic may be purchased multiple times for a maximum of five total purchases.

In the advent of the target’s death, a character with the Medic skill may begin to heal the target.  This will pause the ten minute countdown associated with death.  Should the Medic be interrupted, the action is unsuccessful and the countdown is resumed.

Upon the first purchase of Medic Skill, the character gains the ability to wake those from normal unconsciousness at a 60 count action.

Upon the third purchase of the Medic Skill, the character gains the ability to mend crippled limbs.  This requires ten minutes per limb that is crippled.

At five purchases of Medic the character is able to install and remove Augments. This requires that the character have identified the augment prior to the installation of it using the appropriate advanced identify skill. To locate Augments in a host requires a 60-count examination of the patient. It takes a total of ten minutes to both locate and remove an augment as a single counted action.  To insert Augments requires ten minutes for each piece.

A medic performing a counted action may be assisted by a second medic, reducing the counted actions time by up to half. This is most easily done by starting to count by two’s as soon as the second medic starts assisting. The assistant must already have the medic level to perform the action they are assisting with. The amount of health restored is always dependent on the first medic to start treatment.

A medic is able to apply medical attention to themselves, however this is limited to only restoring HP to themselves.

Magic Channeling*

SP: 10
To purchase this skill, you must have at least one purchase in one of the five Magic Path skills. Magic Channeling allows the character to enhance either their weapons or armor by channeling their Path magic into it. The signature call for doing so is

“Magic Channeling <Specify either ‘Weapon’ or ‘Armor’> <Specify Magic Path” (For example: “Magic Channeling – Weapon – Pain.”

When you activate Magic Channeling, the following takes effect:

• If you choose weapon, you add your base numeric call for your chosen Magic Path to the base damage of any attack you make with your fists, claws, or melee weapon or ranged weapons. “Base numeric call” refers to the amount of damage you deal when you throw a packet and call for damage from that Magic Path. In the case of Protection Magic, the base numeric call is the Protection Magic value granted by the Path. You also add the “Magic” prefix to the damage call for your weapon, as though you had switched to using a magical weapon. For example, “20 Magic Edge” instead of 20 Edge. This benefit only affects weapons that you are currently using, and if you switch to a different weapon, the benefit transfers over.  Thrown consumables are not affected.
• If you choose armor, you add your base numeric call for the chosen Magic Path to your armor value. You must already have an armor score to gain this benefit.
• Regardless of which option you choose, you lose the ability to use the base numeric call for the chosen Magic Path. You can still use Feats from the Path as normal.
• Once you activate this skill, it lasts for 30 minutes or until you choose to end it, and you can’t change your selection (between Weapon, Armor, or Paths) unless you activate it again.

For example, if you have the ability to throw a packet and call for “15 War”, and you normally deal 12 damage with your sword, calling Magic Channeling – Weapon – War causes you to deal 27 Magic Edge with your sword, and you can no longer call for 15 War.

Magic Channeling is an active magical effect and may be removed with Nullify or similar effects.

You can purchase this skill multiple times. Each purchase gives you an additional use of it. You regain all spent uses of this skill after resting for 10 minutes.

Signature Call: Identify Tech

Engineering*

SP: 5
This skill allows the character to perform feats of Engineering.  Engineering is a role play event that allows a character to modify or combine technological items.

Engineering may be purchased multiple times for a maximum of five total purchases.

By spending 10 minutes of work and (the CP value x 5) credits, a character skilled in Engineering may repair a single shattered Technological item that does not require a skill to use.

Engineering can be used to create new items by modifying or combining existing items with a Plot referee present.  By default, Engineering a new item has a failure rate of 40%, takes one hour, and has a 5% chance of critical failure and critical success.  Each point of Engineering in excess of the difficulty of the item decreases failure rate by 10%, time by 10 minutes, and increases chance of critical success by 5%.  Likewise, each point of difficulty beyond the character’s Engineering increases failure rate by 20%, time by 10 minutes, and chance of critical failure by 5%.  The failure chance is further reduced by 2% per point of Dexterity or Intelligence the character has; the relevant stat is chosen by the player at the start of the Engineering process.  At the conclusion, the Plot referee will have the player roll percentile (d100) and let them know the result of their Engineering.
