An Elixir is a special, beneficial effect that can be granted by individuals with the Brewer Discipline and the Diabolist Tradition. These represent temporary physical enhancements created by mixing the powerful chemicals and materials of the World Beyond the Fall.

An Elixir must be imbibed within a minute after it is created, otherwise it loses its potency. However, unlike many other beneficial effects in the game, Elixirs may be consumed by anyone.

Benefitting from an Elixir effect requires an Attunement slot and therefore is subject to the limit of how many Attunements one may have. Drinking an Elixir while you already have one affecting you has no effect except for wasting the one you just imbibed.

Furthermore, you may only be affected by one Elixir (or Ichor) at a time unless you have the Stim Shivers skill of the Brewer/Survivor Discipline -- this allows you to benefit from two Elixirs (or Ichor) at a time. This does not allow for two of the same Elixirs or Ichors on the same person, even if one is an Elixir and the other is an Ichor.

Typically, Elixirs last until the end of the current Event that they were created and applied. However, Apex Tech Elixir effects and Biomantic Elixir effects last Events.

Similarly, the Master of Elixirs skill allows for a skilled Brewer to create Elixir Attunements that last 3 Events.

As a Craft-Ritual action, a Brewer may craft for 10 minutes, performing role-playing that reflects the creation of an Elixir – this means mixing liquids, shifting powders, etc. Take note that once you perform a Crafting action, you may not perform another one until the current Period has passed.

You may drink this yourself or serve it to one willing person to enhance their physical or mental abilities – once created, it must be imbibed or administered within the next 60 seconds or else it becomes inert and useless.

As mentioned previously, a character may not have more than one Elixir effect upon them at a time. Elixirs are usually imbibed through a vial, a cup, or a bowl but they can also be injected into a willing target (never use out-of-game needles or similar sharp props). This takes an Attunement slot, persisting until the end of the current event.

Useful for anyone that wishes for a way out of fighting but does not have the time or desire to train in it.

Herb Kit: this prop requires a small backpack, messenger bag, or a series of pouches that reflect its function as a keeper of useful and/or medicinal herbs or chemicals. Some Herb Kits have plants sticking out of it or have plastic containers filled with colorful liquid. Other Herb Kits are styled like med packs with bandages and similar props. Herb Kits are needed for several Builder skills to function.

Scrap Kit: this prop requires a small backpack, messenger bag, or a series of pouches that reflect its function as a keeper of useful tools and scrap parts. Some Scrap Kits may have prop wrenches, hammers, knitting needles, or similar tools sticking out of it. Others are adorned with bits of metal or other junk. Scrap Kits are needed for several Builder skills to function.

Basic: This is the lowest and most common quality of items. Beyond their standard uses, they may not have Augments. When most Skill Kits are not maintained, they revert to Basic quality.

Even though Basic Skill Kits do not require Upkeep, it is required that these are submitted for inspection and for re-tagging every 3 attended Events.

Advanced: Advanced Skill Kits are what most seasoned adventurers, Operatives, and Delvers, and crafters will be using. Many Builder Skills require this quality of weaponry. Advanced Items may house one Augment, which are specialized construction methods that modify an item’s to add an Additional Property.

Superior: Superior Skill Kits are the province of the well-off and the masterful builders, inventors, and adventurers. Although these are expensive to create and maintain, many of the strongest fighting Skills require their use. Furthermore, they are able to have up to two Skill Kit Augments.

Advanced and Superior Skill Kits have special and diverse properties that are available to them called Augments. These Augments do not normally cost additional Components although they can require specific weapon props, specific component types, or modifications to one’s Skill Kit prop.

• Basic Skill Kits may not have any Augments.

• Advanced Skill Kits may have one Augment.

• Superior Skill Kits may have two Skill Kit Augments.

When an Advanced Skill Kit is created or maintained via upkeep, you may place a Skill Kit Augment on it. Similarly, a Superior Skill Kit may be created or maintained with one or two Augments. As mentioned above, this does not require additional Components although they may change or add to what Component types are to be used.

However, all Skill Kit Augments require specific skills to be placed upon items

Using certain Workshops can waive the Skill requirement for some Augments. For example, by using an Herb Shop, one can waive the Skill Requirement for the Insulator Weapon Augment

There are many kinds of Augments but there are three main categories:

-- Gadget Augments are useful gizmos and mechanisms that are usually placed on Scrap Kits

-- Kit Augments are special tools that allow some utility or enhance Skills you already have.

-- Vial Augments involve volatile chemicals that are used on distant enemies or nearby allies.

Wearing a Skill Kit such as an Herb Kit or a Scrap Kit is required for certain actions such as crafting or healing. For example, the Weapon Maker skill requires a Scrap Kit to make Weaponry items while the Treat Injury skill requires an Herb Kit for its functions. You may only be wearing one Skill Kit at a time and it takes at least 5 minutes to do so or to switch Kits.

Unless otherwise stated, the benefits of Skill Kit Augments function only while wearing said augmented item.

Advanced and Superior Skill Kits have special properties that are available to them called Augments. These Augments do not normally cost additional Components although they can require specific weapon props, specific component types, or modifications to one’s Skill Kit prop.

Basic Skill Kits may not have any Augments. Advanced Skill Kits may have one Augment. Superior Skill Kits may have two Augments.

Some Skill Kits grant the Temporary Use of specific Skills. What this means is that these Skills can be activated or benefitted from as though the Kit user had those Skills and had those Skills’ requirements.

On the other hand, having the Temporary Use of Skill does not allow for that Skill to be used as a requirement for other Skills/abilities. Similarly, effects that would halve the Targ/Conc count of an Augment or waive its Self-inflicted effects do not do so for the Skills it grant Temporary use of.

For Example: Having the Ethertronic Engineeing Skill or the Hyper Refined Chemistry Skill would not halve the Conc requirement of the Owlsight Goggles’ “Keen Preception”. Furthermore, the user of these Goggles would not be able to use “Keen Perception” as a requirement for their Skills unless they actually learned it themselves.

You may not have two identical Augments on the same Item.

Unless otherwise and explicitly stated, bonuses to an attack, a healing effect, or a Resolve effect cannot increase it beyond 5 points. There may be exceptions to this, but they are specific to certain situations or conditions.

When an Advanced Skill Kit is created or maintained via upkeep, you may place an Advanced Skill Kit Augment on it. Similarly, a Superior Skill Kit may be created or maintained with one or two Augments. As mentioned above, this does not require additional Components although they may change or add to what Component types are to be used.

Using certain Workshops can waive the Skill requirement for some Augments. For example, by using an Herb Shop, one can waive the Skill Requirement for the Insulator Weapon Augment

There are many kinds of Augments but there are three main categories:

-- Gadget Augments are useful gizmos and mechanisms that are usually placed on Scrap Kits

-- Kit Augments are special tools that allow some utility or enhance Skills you already have.

-- Vial Augments involve volatile chemicals that are used on distant enemies or nearby allies.

When a Creation//Upkeep Cost lists a Component Affinity such as Lightning Affinity or Abyssal Affinity, it refers to an alteration to the normal Cost. The specified Component type is allowed to be used in the Creation or Upkeep in the title -- this makes it easier to make the item.

Some Augments, such as the Eldritch Vial, require certain Builder skills AND an Adept Attunement. The latter represents the magical energy that the creation or upkeep of these Augments needs. There are different types of Adept Attunements, the “Projection Adept” attunement comes from the Projection Sphere of magic. This means that making items with these magical Augments requires magical Skill and energy.

That said, in the scope of Nueva Ciencia, magic and engineering can often interweave with one another. Certain Erudite-level Skills in the Builder class can allow a magic-less crafter to make or upkeep items with magical Augments, provided that some stipulations are fulfilled. This function is often called “Etheric Expertise” and represents a pseudo-magical insight to the workings of that specific Discipline.

Basic: This is the lowest and most common quality of items. Beyond their standard uses, they may not have Augments. When most Weapons and Shields are not maintained, they revert to Basic quality. On the other hand, Ammo Packs (e.g. Knife Packs, Slug Packs) will be completely depleted/expired every 3 Events unless Components are spent to maintain them.

Even though most Basic Weapons and Shields do not require Upkeep, it is required that these are submitted for inspection and for re-tagging every 6 months.

Advanced: Advanced Weaponry is what most seasoned adventurers, Operatives, Delvers, and soldiers will be using. Many fighting Skills require this quality of weaponry. Advanced Items may house one Augment, which are specialized construction methods that modify an item’s to add an Additional Property.

Superior: Superior Weaponry is the province of the well-off and the masterful soldiers, protectors, and adventurers. Although these are expensive to create and maintain, many of the strongest fighting Skills require their use. Furthermore, they are able to have up to two Weaponry Augments.

Advanced and Superior Weaponry have special and diverse properties that are available to them called Augments. These Augments do not cost additional Components although they can require specific weapon props, specific component types, or modifications to one’s weapon prop.

Advanced Weaponry Items may have one Weaponry Augment while Superior Weaponry Items may have two Weaponry Augments.

Basic Weaponry Items may not have any Augments. In fact, Weapons under the Sunder effect act as though they are Basic Weaponry

When an Advanced Weaponry Item (Weapon, Shield, or Ammo Pack) is created or maintained via upkeep, you may place an Advanced Weaponry Augment on it. Similarly, a Superior Weaponry Item may be created or maintained with one or two Augments. As mentioned above, this does not require additional Components although they may change or add to what Component types are to be used.

However, all Weaponry Augments require specific skills to be placed upon items. For example, the Chainsaw Augment requires the War Mechanic skill. On the other hand, they do not require specific skills to use.

Using certain Workshops can waive the Skill requirement for some Augments. For example, by using an Herb Shop, one can waive the Skill Requirement for the Chemical Weapon Augment.

Advanced and Superior Weaponry have special and diverse properties that are available to them called Augments. Unless otherwise stated, the benefits of Weaponry Augments function only while wielding said Weaponry and using them for the actions that they enhance, not just holding them while sheathed. These Augments do not cost additional Components although they can require specific weapon props, specific component types, or modifications to one’s weapon prop.

Advanced Weaponry Items may have one Weaponry Augment while Superior Weaponry Items may have two Weaponry Augments.

Basic Weaponry Items may not have any Augments. In fact, Weapons under the Sunder effect act as though they are Basic Weaponry.

When an Advanced Weaponry Item (Weapon, Shield, or Ammo Pack) is created or maintained via upkeep, you may place an Advanced Weaponry Augment on it. Similarly, a Superior Weaponry Item may be created or maintained with one or two Augments. As mentioned above, this does not require additional Components although they may change or add to what Component types are to be used.

However, all Weaponry Augments require specific skills to be placed upon items. For example, the Chainsaw Augment requires the War Mechanic skill. On the other hand, they do not require specific skills to use.

Using certain Workshops can waive the Skill requirement for some Augments. For example, by using an Herb Shop, one can waive the Skill Requirement for the Chemical Weapon Augment.

You may not have two identical Augments on the same Weapon although you can benefit from identical Augments if you have them on different weapons that you are currently wielding (not just holding)

Unless otherwise and explicitly stated, bonuses to an attack, a healing effect, or a Resolve effect cannot increase it beyond 5 points. Examples to this are Smite attacks with a Longarm, a Heavy Melee Weapon, or a Medium Weapon held in both hands -- these allow for an attack for up to 7 points of damage.

When a Creation//Upkeep Cost lists a Component Affinity such as Lightning Affinity or Abyssal Affinity, it refers to an alteration to the normal Cost. The specified Component type is allowed to be used in the Creation or Upkeep in the title.

For example: the Eldritch Amplifier Augment has the Astral Component affinity. This means, when making a Superior Scrap Kit with this Augment, at least one of the Components that you use has to have the Astral-type on it.

Some Augments, such as Arcane Gadget or Eldritch Vial, require certain Builder skills AND an Adept Attunement. The latter represents the magical energy that the creation or upkeep of these Augments needs. There are different types of Adept Attunements, the “Projection Adept” attunement comes from the Projection Sphere of magic. This means that making items with these magical Augments requires magical Skill and energy.

That said, in the scope of Nueva Ciencia, magic and engineering can often interweave with one another. Certain Erudite-level Skills in the Builder class can allow a magic-less crafter to make or upkeep items with magical Augments, provided that some stipulations are fulfilled. This function is often called “Etheric Expertise” and represents a pseudo-magical insight to the workings of that specific Discipline.

When a Xenotech, Xenoweave, Symbiotic Gadget has been Fortified, it gains a measure of sentience and a psychic link to you. They receive one of the following Additional Properties of your choice when you next Upkeep them. You can change this choice during the next Upkeep -- with multiple Xeno items, see the limitation below:

Some believe that a minor entity resides within the item or that an item’s spirit temporarily awakens -- either way, it receives a name of its owner’s choice. Some claim that it is the item’s choice, subconsciously planted.

Note: the RP notes below are largely internal and optional. Players can feel free to opt into doing them or to not follow them. Either way, the Character bonded to the item receives the benefit outlined below.

Limitation: You may only gain one of the Minor Sentience benefits below, regardless of how many “Sentient” items are linked to you. This reflects the dominance of one over the voices of the others. Whenever you have more than one such effect, choose the dominant Sentience for the remainder of the current Event.

Brave -- You gain the use of the Strength skill and the Resist Fear skill. This item exhorts you to do brave and dangerous feats either because it is angry all the time or because it is foolish.

Hurrying-- This item occasionally slows your perception of time down. You are able to use the Dodge defense and the Flee the Scene skill. If you have both, you can use the latter skill after only a Conc-5, augmenting it with “Symbiotic”. This item exhorts you to hurry up and to be less careful.

Murderous -- This item increases the damage of your Smite attack and your Death Blow with it by +1. It coerces you to go out into the wild and kill monsters and other aberrations.

Nurturing -- This item increases the healing or Resolve you grant to others with it by +1. It exhorts you to avoid danger and chastises you for taking risks.

Quelling-- You may use the Masked Mind skill and the Camouflage skill. This item tells you to be quiet and to be careful, lest danger find you.

At a basic level, wearing Body Armor, Heavy Armor, or Ultraheavy Armor allows one to use their Armored HP value instead of their normal HP value for determining one’s maximum HP. 

A Character’s Armored HP value is normal HP +2, although some Skills and Weave Augments may improve this.

Take note that a Player Character’s maximum HP may never be increased beyond 10 HP.

You may only be wearing one set of Armor at a time and it takes at least 10 minutes to do so or to switch Armors, although you may Refit armor (see Armor and Shields document) while doing so.

More information on Armor and Shields can be found here.

The Armor Expertise Skill of the Scrapper (Warrior), Survivor (Ranger), and Weaver (Builder) Disciplines allows for the use of Aegis Points while wearing armor.

Aegis Points represent proficient armor use, angling one’s body to deflect or mitigate attacks. Fitting or Refitting one’s armor, a 10 minute activity, allows one to regain all expended Aegis Points.

Using Aegis: Invoke “Aegis” and expend an Aegis Point to negate the damage or the effect of all attacks received within the last second. You must also take two steps away from the source of the attacks. You are unable to use Aegis to defend yourself if any of those attacks are Ambush attacks (blows that come from behind and hit your back torso)

Basic: This is the lowest and most common quality of items. Beyond their standard uses, they may not have Augments. When most Weaver Items are not maintained, they revert to Basic quality.

Even though most Basic Weaver Items, it is required that these are submitted for inspection and for re-tagging every 3 Events.

Advanced: Advanced Weaver Items are what most seasoned adventurers, Operatives, Delvers, and soldiers will be using. Many fighting Skills require this quality of item. Advanced Items may house one Augment, which are specialized construction methods that modify an item to add an Additional Property.

Superior: Superior Weaver Items are the province of the well-off and the masterful soldiers, protectors, and adventurers. Although these are expensive to create and maintain, many of the strongest defensive Skills require their use. Furthermore, they are able to have up to two Weaver Augments.

Advanced and Superior Weaver items have special and diverse properties that are available to them called Augments. These Augments do not cost additional Components although they can require specific weapon props, specific component types, or modifications to one’s Armor or Weaver prop.

• Basic Weaver Items may not have any Augments.

• Advanced Weaver Items may have one Weaver Augment.

• Superior Weaponry Items may have two Weaver Augments.

When an Advanced Weaver Item (Armor, Animus Crown, or Banner) is created or maintained via upkeep, you may place a Weaver Augment on it. Similarly, a Superior Weaver Item may be created or maintained with one or two Augments. As mentioned above, this does not require additional Components although they may change or add to what Component types are to be used.

However, all Weaver Augments require the expertise of specific Skills in order to be placed upon a Weaver item.

Using certain Workshops can waive the Skill requirement for some Augments. For example, by using an Herbshop, one can waive the Skill Requirement for the Insulator Weapon Augment.

Advanced and Superior Weaver items have special and diverse properties that are available to them called Augments. Unless otherwise stated, the benefits of Weaver Augments function only while wielding said armor/clothing or wielding/using the augmented item. These Augments do not normally cost additional Components although they can require specific props, specific component types, or modifications to one’s Armor or Weaver prop.

Advanced Weaver Items may have one Weaver Augment. Superior Weaver Items may have two Weaver Augments.

Basic Weaver Items may not have any Augments.

When an Advanced Weaver Item (Armor, Animus Crown, or Banner) is created or maintained via upkeep, you may place a Weaver Augment on it. Similarly, a Superior Weaver Item may be created or maintained with one or two Augments. As mentioned above, this does not require additional Components although they may change or add to what Component types are to be used.

However, all Weaver Augments require specific skills to be placed upon items. For example, the Multiweave Augment requires that the item’s crafter has the Expert Weaver skill.

Using certain Workshops can waive the Skill requirement for some Augments. For example, by using an Herbshop, one can waive the Skill Requirement for the Insulator Weapon Augment.

You may not have two identical Augments on the same Item.

Unless otherwise and explicitly stated, bonuses to an attack, a healing effect, or a Resolve effect cannot increase it beyond 5 points. Examples to this are Smite attacks with a Longarm, a Heavy Melee Weapon, or a Medium Weapon held in both hands -- these allow for an attack for up to 7 points of damage.

At a basic level, wearing Body Armor, Heavy Armor, or Ultraheavy Armor allows one to use their Armored HP value instead of their normal HP value for determining one’s maximum HP. A Character’s Armored HP value is usually normal HP +2, although some Skills and Weave Augments may improve this. Take note that a Player Character’s maximum HP may never be increased beyond 10 HP.

You may only be wearing one Armor at a time. It takes at least 10 minutes to don one or switch Armors.

The Armor Expertise Skill of the Scrapper (Warrior), Survivor (Ranger), and Weaver (Builder) Disciplines allows for the use of Aegis Points while wearing armor.

Aegis Points represent proficient armor use, angling one’s body to deflect or mitigate attacks. Fitting or Refitting one’s armor, a 10 minute activity, allows one to regain one’s maximum Aegis Points.

Using Aegis: Invoke “Aegis” and expend an Aegis Point to negate the damage or the effect of all attacks received within the last second. You must also take two steps away from the source of the attacks. You are unable to use Aegis to defend yourself if any of those attacks are Ambush attacks (blows that come from behind and hit your back torso)

Unless explicitly stated and allowed, you may never have more than 5 Aegis points.

When a Creation//Upkeep Cost lists a Component Affinity such as Lightning Affinity or Abyssal Affinity, it refers to an alteration to the normal Cost. The specified Component type is allowed to be used in the Creation or Upkeep in the title -- this makes it easier to make the item..

Some Augments, such as Eldritchcraft Weapon or Eldritch Vial, require an Adept Attunement (ATN)-- these refer to the Adept skills found in the Arcanist class (e..g Infusion Adept, etc). Therefore, these items require magical energy and training to make.

That said, certain Erudite-level Skills in the Builder class can allow a magic-less crafter to make or upkeep items with magical Augments, provided that some stipulations are fulfilled. This function is often called “Etheric Expertise” and represents a pseudo-magical insight to the workings of that specific Discipline.
