Not-Sword

A blade engraved with paradoxical LogLang glyphs. Synthetic creatures cannot recognise this weapon as a blade, nor can they recognise the bearer of the sword as a living being.

Amaranthine Sugar

Fabulously valuable substance, extracted through patient husbandry from the bodies of adult sandworms. Ingestion greatly boosts the psychic strength of biological creatures. Each dose grants one new randomly rolled Mystic Gift.

Bottled Thicket

Glass vial containing weaponised seeds. When the vial is broken, the seeds germinate and begin an astoundingly rapid life cycle, sprouting into a dense tangle of iridescent vines within seconds.

Gecko Gloves

Finely woven nano-cloth gloves. Allow the wearer’s hands to stick to any surface with a near-unbreakable grip.

Tempest Cannon

Heavy weapon (d12, 3 slots). Creates tiny, incredibly violent thunderstorms wherever its shells explode. Must be refilled with a day’s worth of water after each combat.

The Crimson Cantos

Small, unassuming volume of poetry, bound in crimson leather. The book’s contents are neuroactive, and always guaranteed to fling the reader into a murderous rage. Readers must EGO save or violently attack the nearest living creature.

Bedazzling Blade

Off-handed parrying sword, made in the Fallen Autarchy. Has an inbuilt trick - the blade can briefly glow as brightly as the sun, blinding one’s opponent. Of interest to collectors of rare weapons.

Aegis of the Empty-Minded Sage

Golden amulet, worn in the centre of the forehead. Renders the wearer immune to mind control, telepathy, and all other forms of psychic intrusion. The aegis does this by totally suppressing the wearer’s memory and personality, rendering the bearer near catatonic until the amulet is removed by a companion. Of dubious utility.

Exorcist’s Sidearm

The Bullet-witches of Ka-El believed no spirit was beyond the influence of a properly armed gunwoman. This sorcerous sidearm fires a rotating trepanation round, which can violently evict the demons from a possessed man’s skull at an alarmingly long distance.

Holo-Bow

A novelty crossbow, which ‘fires’ very convincing holograms of arrows.

Bounty Beacon

May be used outdoors to signal an ancient supply satellite, which drops a Support Pod containing a week’s rations for a long-dead reconnaissance unit. Only works once.

Lazarus Cap

Grim necrotech helm. If applied to the head of a fresh corpse, will re-activate the brain. The effect only lasts while the cap is worn, and does nothing to arrest the decay of the flesh.

Hedondroid

Synthetic partycrasher. Crude android that is powered by alcohol, and can unerringly locate parties, orgies, weddings etc. within a five mile radius.

Prison Orb of the Miniature Beast

A hypergeometric orb the size of a grapefruit, with a scarlet upper hemisphere and a pallid lower hemisphere. Used by the citizens of a long-faded civilisation to imprison a collection of tiny fighting-beasts, and compel them to do battle with other beast-masters. 4-in-6 chance the Orb still contains a Citrine-coated Volt Rat (HD 1, Armour 13, d6 electric tail), hungry and trained to kill without hesitation. 2-in-6 chance the Orb holds nothing but the desiccated corpse of a forgotten beast.

Autarch’s Nectar

Honeyed golden tonic containing gene-sculpting nanomachines. When drunk by a biological creature, grants a permanent +1 boost to three Ability scores. Only works once.

Babble Grenade

Neuro-active hand grenade. All living creatures caught within the blast will find themselves unable to understand spoken or written language, and their own speech is likewise gibberish. The effect lasts for a day.

Helm of the Unerring Hound

Hunting apparatus from the Fallen Autarchy. Black, hound-shaped mask that fits over the human head and inserts biotech probes up the nostrils. Boosts the wearer’s sense of smell to superhuman levels.

Mr Skuggly-Wuggly

A pink-furred synthetic bear, roughly the size of a domestic cat. Mr Skuggly-Wuggly was designed to amuse the children of a long-lost era, and speaks in comforting rhymes and calming nonsense. Secretly longs for death, but is unable to request this.

Ditto Gun

Revolver that generates weaponised temporal anomalies when its bullets impact a target. These anomalies inflict a wound identical to the most recent injury suffered by the target, with a matching damage value.

The Book of Sand

Hypergeometric book with an infinite number of pages, each filled with dense paragraphs of minuscule, utterly illegible text. All efforts to decode the book will fail, although it could provide the fuel for an eternally burning fire.
