<p>spiteful, hateful, unfinished artifact system</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>= The Guide to Writing Artifacts for Stupid People =<br /> *by [[Telgar]]<br /> <br /> No, this isn't about writing Artifacts for use by stupid people. It's a down, dirty, disgusing and hateful system for creating Artifacts if you're just flat bad at it. I do not use the system that I will construct and demonstrate here. I will never use it for anything but examples in here. I hate it. I'm writing it half as a huge example of what not to ever do. But some people may actually like it. Someone might use it! I hope not. I'd rather people used my OTHER Artifact Creation Guidelines. They're nice and happy. This is the evil cheating way of hideousness. So, ya know, be aware of that.<br /> <br /> === Artifact Points by Level ===<br /> <br /> Each dot in the Artifact Background that an item costs provides a certain number of points which may be distrubted amongst things like stats for weapons and armor or abilities. Artifacts don't have to use all their alloted points, but it's generally a good idea to do so.<br /> <br /> * Level 1 - 50 points<br /> * Level 2 - 100 points<br /> * Level 3 - 200 points<br /> * Level 4 - 500 points<br /> * Level 5 - 1000 points<br /> <br /> === Spending Points on Stats ===<br /> <br /> *Stats<br /> **Accuracy - costs 5 stat points<br /> **Damage - costs 3 stat points<br /> **Speed - costs 3 stat points<br /> **Rate - costs 2 stat points<br /> **Defense - costs 4 stat points<br /> **Soak - costs 2 stat points for Bashing or Lethal, must be bought seperately<br /> **Fatigue - each Fatigue penalty adds 1 stat point<br /> **Mobility - each Mobility penalty adds 2 stat points<br /> **Hardness - costs 2 stat points, may never exceed the lowest soak score of whatever it applies to.<br /> *Powers<br /> **Dice-Adding - costs 5 points for combat abilities, 3 for non-combat<br /> **Penalty Removal - costs 4 points per removal<br /> **Charms - Charms have a point cost of their combined Trait Mimimums, plus 1 per pre-requisite Charm<br /> **Spells - Spells have a point cost equal to their Circle (1, 2 or 3) times 100<br /> **Motes - The ability to hold or generate 1 mote costs 5 points<br /> **Stat Increases<br /> ***Attributes - 30 points<br /> ***Abilities - 15 points<br /> ***Virtues - 20 points<br /> ***Willpower - 50 points<br /> ***Essence - 400 points<br /> **Other - Special, as defined by ST and Player.<br /> <br /> === Spending Points on Tags ===<br /> <br /> Tags are qualities in an Artifact that give it some special, pre-determined power. Wooo.<br /> <br /> *Piercing<br /> *Holy<br /> *Poisonous<br /> *Strike Immaterial<br /> *View Immaterial<br /> *Magic Resistant<br /> *Magic Vulnerability<br /> *Elemental Resistance<br /> *Elemental Vulnerability<br /> *Life Eating<br /> *Underworld Forged</div>
