Hindrances

Personal

Loyal (Minor) - The hero is loyal to his friends and allies.

Elderly (Major) - When the magic was wrenched from Brook, body and soul, it damaged something; leaving her weaker than she once was. Her Pace is reduced by 1, and she subtracts 1 from running rolls (minimum 1). She also suffers a −1 penalty to Agility, Strength (including damage), and Vigor rolls, but not linked skills.

Driven (Minor) - The dark wizard who stole Brook's magic, and those like her, must be stopped.

Arcane Background

Armor Interference (Minor) - Heavy armor interferes with an artificer’s channeling and manipulation of magic while imbuing infusions. Artificers subtract 4 from their Imbuing rolls and from their Agility and Agility-based skill rolls if wearing heavy armor or using a heavy shield.

Ancestry

Curious: All pixies, whether magical or mundane, suffer from incurable curiosity. Brook's has been directed toward the discovery and understanding of enchanted objects.

Mild Mannered: No matter how irate, a six-inch tall pixie without its native magic is not very intimidating. -2 to Intimidation.

Reduced Pace: Pixies are small. Pace is reduced by 1 and running die is reduced one step.

Vulnerability: Fae are vulnerable to Cold Iron, suffering an additional 4 damage from those sources.

Traits

Tiny: Tiny races (Size −4) have a maximum Strength of d4. They subtract 4 from their Toughness and damage rolls (melee, ranged, magic, etc.) Gear made for Tiny characters weighs and costs a tenth the listed value. Reduce the Min Str for Tiny Armor four die types (minimum d4).

Low Light Vision: ignore penalties for Dim and Dark Illumination (but not Pitch Darkness).

Edges

Arcane Background [Artificer] (10 pp)

Craft Magic Items: can create temporary Arcane Devices and craft more permanent magical items.

Wand Mastery: The crafter has become adept at eking out power from wands. When wielding a wand, the crafter has a +2 bonus to skill rolls to activate the power.

Born in the Saddle: Free reroll on Riding rolls, mount’s Pace increase by 2, Running die increases one step.

Arcane Background [Tinkerer] (15 pp)

JINX: A tinkerer can make a Repair roll on any mechanical device he can touch. If successful, the machine suffers a malfunction and stops working until it’s fixed (a Repair roll as an action, at −2 if the tinkerer got a raise).

Homunculus: Caster crafts a small pet that grants her 5 Power Points and other abilities. FUMP

Artificer Powers

Trappings: All infusions require touch, and must be placed within an object, construct, or living construct. Once imbued, the object remains pleasantly warm to the touch and smell faintly of summer flowers.

---

HASTE! Speed | PP (1) +1 to arcane skill roll | Range (Touch) | Duration (5 Minutes)

Additional Trappings: The item infused seems to vibrate with energy

Limitations:Speed only, Range: Touch

Description: Speed doubles the target’s movement (Pace and running). With a raise the character also ignores the −2 running penalty.

Modifier: Quickness (+2): character’s total Multi-Action penalty each turn is reduced by 2 (she can do two actions at no penalty or three at −2 each)

BOOST! Boost Trait | PP (1) | Range (Touch) | Duration (5 minutes)

Additional Trappings: None

Limitations:Boost only, Range: Touch

Description: Boosting an ally’s Trait increases the selected Trait one die type, or two with a raise.

BLOCK! Barrier | PP (1) | Range (Touch) | Duration (5 minutes)

Additional Trappings: A wall of dense stone rises up, originating from the spot touched.

Limitations:Range: Touch

Description: Creates wall 5″ (10 yards) long, 1″ (2 yards) tall, Hardness 10 barrier (12 with a raise).

Modifiers:

DAMAGE (+0/+1): The barrier causes 2d4 damage to anyone who contacts it. If the barrier is Immaterial, this modifier costs +0 instead of +1.

HARDENED (+1): The wall is Hardness 12 (or 14 with a raise).

SHAPED (+1): The barrier forms a circle, square, or rectangle. It can’t have a roof or floor, and can’t Bind or Entangle anything within (use the entangle power for that).

SIZE (+1): The length and height of the barrier doubles.

Tinkerer Powers

Trappings: All tinkerer powers require an object as a focus.

---

BOLT! Bolt | PP (1) | Range (Smarts x2) | Duration (instant)

Additional Trappings: lightning shoots out of the business end of the "wand";

Description: Sends damaging bursts of energy toward one’s foes. There are no Range penalties, but the arcane skill roll is affected by Cover, Illumination, and all other usual penalties. The damage of the bolt is 2d6, or 3d6 with a raise.

DAMAGE (+2) The bolt causes 3d6 damage (4d6 with a raise).

FREEZE! Entangle | PP (2) | Range (Smarts) | Duration (instant)

Additional Trappings: A tremendous blast of freezing cold briefly connects the caster's wand and the unfortunate victim, causing muscles to seize and a complete loss of mobility;

Description: Restrains a target with ice (Hardness 8). If cast successfully, the target is Entangled. With a raise, he’s Bound. Victims may break free on their turn as detailed under Bound & Entangled.

AREA OF EFFECT (+2/+3): For +2 points the power affects everyone in a Medium Blast Template. For +3 points the area of effect is increased to a Large Blast Template.

DAMAGE (+2): Entangled targets take 2d4 damage at the end of their turn.

TOUGH (+1): The entangling material is particularly resilient. Increase its Hardness to 10.

Universal Power Modifiers

FATIGUE (+2) The modifier may be attached to any power that can cause damage or is resisted by the target. If she’s affected by the power in any way, she also suffers Fatigue. This cannot cause Incapacitation, however.

GLOW/SHROUD (+1) Glow creates soft light (caster’s choice of color) in a Small Blast Template centered on the target. It subtracts 2 from her Stealth totals and negates 1 point of Illumination penalties for those attacking the glowing character. Shroud dims and slightly obscures the target so that attacks against her suffer a −1 penalty and she adds +1 to her Stealth rolls.

HINDER/HURRY (+1) The target is slowed in some way, perhaps due to intense cold, a slippery surface, or even binding matter or energy. His base Pace is reduced by 2. A caster can Hurry the recipient instead, granting increased energy, sure footing, or more powerful muscles. His Pace is increased by 2. Effects of either modifier aren’t cumulative.

RANGE (+1/+2) Double the power’s listed Range for +1 Power Point, or triple it for +2. This modifier may not be used on powers with a Range of Touch or the Cone or Stream Template.

HASTY (+2) The caster can activate the power as a limited free action instead of an action. The arcane skill roll is subject to multi-action penalties as usual, but doesn’t cause any itself

Backstory

Brook Moonglitter has no earthly idea how old she actually is. Fey are practically immortal, so why would she care? That mindset changed when Thelanis and Eberron became coterminous, creating a manifest zone and a convenient path for several mischievous fey to wander through. And oh how the joyous prankery ensued. Shoe strings were knotted, all the left socks were stolen, and most everything you could imagine was moved just a tad to the left when nobody was looking.

This merriment continued until Brook happened upon an ominous tower. She immediately found a way within, looking for innocent entertainment at the expense of the owner. This... this didn't go well. Within short order, the tower's resident wizard had captured her. Brook didn't fear death - Fey were simply reborn within Thelanis should they perish - but the wizard had something altogether worse in mind for her intruder.

Brook began to waste away almost immediately, as all pixies do upon capture, but no time was wasted. A bizarre and horrible experiment was enacted, wringing the magic from Brook's body and soul, to be used somewhere else. Brook was discarded, likely assumed dead, but she crawled out of the refuse bin she had been so casually disposed of within.

Her limitless life, vitality, inherent magic, and very innocence were all just gone. Her wings, magic in of themselves, were likewise stolen from her. And now, severed from what she was, Brook truly knew what fear was. She feared death. How could she be reborn if what she was, the story she represented, was so warped from its source?

Brook fled the castle, dropping a random book into a rushing river that flowed past, and floated along on its magically protected pages for many miles. When she finally left the relative safety of the river, she read the title of the book she'd pilfered: a Primer on Artifice, Enchantment, and Wandsmithing.
