Re: Partum Artifex - Master of Illusion (Far From Home)
Gear
Armband of Worlds
These items are crafted for apprentice shifters and temporal wizards by techno-wizards. Useful for when their apprentice does not yet have the skill to use these basic spells themselves. Par was given his by his father as a gift after missing his 18th birthday. Telling him he is now ready to leave, and wishing him well, before he left for his next assignment.
When in a unwanted location all an owner has to do is activate the devices basic functions. The primary function will analyze the environment and provide protection for the wearer, the secondary function allows the user to use translocation, a sort of short range teleport.

• First aid kit with three uses (each refill costs 100 credits).
• Flashlight and radio (five-mile range), crank and solar powered.
• Hunting/fishing kit +1 to Survival checks to gather food via fishing and trapping small game.
• Sanitation kit with water filter, canteen, mess kit, soap and sterile cloth.
• Two-person tent, insulated with a water collector, providing +2 versus cold or heat environmental Hazards. Paired with an insulated sleeping bag.

DS-2 TW Exploratory Armor (Patron Item)
This suit of light armor is based off of a rare pre-rifts design of space exploration armor. A reclusive Techno-Wizard found a small cache of the suits on a trip to Dinosaur Swamp and modified them to make a hardy, land-based survival suit for exploration. Only a few dozen of these suits are known to exist, and somehow have come into the hands of adventurers.
• +7 Armor, +3 Toughness (Unpowered: +3 Armor, +1 Toughness)
• HUD with all around cameras. Allows wearer to view 6 info or camera screens while still being able to see what is going on in front of them, also granting magical optics. Grants low light vision, the farsight power, as well as the Danger Sense Edge. If the character already has the Danger Sense Edge, then it grants Sixth Sense instead. If the character has both, they get a +1 on the Danger Sense roll, in addition to any other modifiers.
• Multi-purpose Flight/Swim Mobility Pack: The flight pack has a two mobility modes. Each must be activated separately. In essence, they both use the fly power, but one is only usable underwater.
• Notes: While Powered, the armor grants EBA, increases Strength by two die types, add +1 to Pace, and the wearer ignores Min Str. It has a built in PPE Battery (5 PPE). It is TW Gear and uses TW Armor Activation.
• Minimum Strength: d8 (40 lb)
• Rarity: -8 Cost: 190,000
NG LPO Elite Load-Bearing Chest Rig (Patron Item)
Features:
• 12 attachment points
• Characters wearing this coat treat their Strength as one die type higher when determining Encumbrance (SWADE page 67). This stacks with Brawny.
• No Minimum Strength Requirement (3 lbs.)
• Integrated IRMSS: 20,000 credits to recharge (TLPG, p.88)
Attachment points can be utilized to carry 1 each of the following item types: sidearm, magazine, E-clip, grenade, canteen, food ration pack, minor items or individual tools.

Made of a wood unknown to most of the world, your character’s elegant staff is a powerful weapon and tool for magic work. The staff has 10 PPE (which regenerate at the same rate as the caster’s), and grants +1 to all Spellcasting or Faith rolls. Finally, it’s a combat-worthy staff (Str+d6, Reach 1, Parry +1, two-handed) that even does Mega Damage if 2 PPE is channeled through it that round.
Shadow Cloak (TW)
An arcane cloak which allows the wearer to gather shadows around herself to create fear, hide, and distract.
When activated (three Power Points per hour), the shadow cloak grants the fear and invisibility powers, which are activated on the user at base effectiveness (no raise effect)—the invisibility effect only works while traveling in darkness and shadow (1lb, 300,000 credits)
Credits:

Re: Partum Artifex - Master of Illusion (Far From Home)
Background
Like most men of earth Par was born to a rough world. His mother and father had a strained relationship, their love ill fitting as their passions conflicted. Par’s father Julious was a shifter and traveler. So it was when Par contracted a disease at the age of 6 that ravaged his body and was killing him, that his parents had the combined skills needed to save his life. Though his body perished, his parents where able to construct a body for him made of wood. While sculpted to look like a healthy human, and even apparently growing as he aged, his appearance was still such that aging as he grew. When trouble came to Tolkien the Artifex family fled, long before the war escalated Julious had the experience and know how to foresee what was coming and used his power to travel south. Annibels awareness as a mystic allowing her to predict the future significance of Refuge led them there and they began building relationships with the dwarves there.
Once the family settled around refuge it was only a short year later that the Tomorrow Legion was formed and from there Julious quickly volunteered to work with a SET. His time bound to home and hearth making him feel restrained. So it was during the last two years Julious would spend weeks on the road at a time. Return home in time to see his family for a little while and be off again, his obsession with seeing all he could see completely refused to yield to the needs of hearth and home. Annibel’s was likewise led to help people and her passion passion was for the earth itself to protect and encourage the natural life that belonged to this world.
Par would help his mother as she fulfilled her duties around Refuge. Working as a physician she was able to use her arcane talents to great effect. Most of Par’s responsibilities would be protecting his mother while she was out of town and learning to work as her assistant. But his heart's desire was to follow in his father's steps. To join as a SET member and travel around to see the world.
Many years spent studying the arcane arts, Par is now old enough to be respected as an adult and is ready to move on. Taking advantage of the arcane arts he learned from his father and the natural mystic talents he inherited from his mother Par is ready to leave. And who knows, perhaps as he leaves on this first mission he holds hope that his father will be pleased with his experiences and growth.
