items and vehicles
Stats:
Each character has 6 main stats each starts at 8 and you may lower one in order to raise another at a one for one rate. The stats are brawn, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, personality, and willpower. A 7th stat exists called fate which is rated by adding the highest stat and the lowest stat. Only have attributes if they match cars would have a dex, and brawn but probably not any of the others.
Appearance:
Just like species, the GM will tell you how many words you can have.
Negatives:
Same as negatives.
Background:
You can tell how the character came across the item, what they have been through and what not.
Phrases:
Just like a normal character these are special features of the item like sharp, or blunt. If you hit someone with a sharp item and they are a viable target that could be damaged by something sharp add the value of sharpens to the damage:
Using stats:
each time the character uses the item he can choose to push the item. This usually happens in combat scenes. for example a car could spend dice from its pool to increase the characters roll, and possibly add a maneuverable or fast phrase. However these dice must be kept separate because they do not add back to any dice pool. To replenish these pools you must either in the case of a car refill the gas, or you can burn a fate dice permanently to show your caring for the car. After you have no fate dice left you must have the car and or weapon repaired.
Advancing:
Through in game acts such as adding magical effects, or technological effects, you may get more words to describe the weapon. You may then add a new phrase that relates.
So those are the basics if you want you can play test them. Me and a friend of mine are also play testing, and will eventually have a product! thanks for reading happy gaming.
