I’ve been working on converting some magic items for use in my DW Sci-Fi game. I thought I’d share a favourite. Feedback welcome and appreciated. Also, if you all would like to share ideas for sci-fi “artifacts” of your own I’d love to read your ideas.
Oren-Esah Matter Cloak — worn, 1 weight
A midnight blue cloak, woven through with pulsing amber threads. The fabric contains a sampling of the legendary matter manipulating technology of the long-extinct Oren-Esah.
When you allow the amber threads to weave themselves into your flesh, roll+CON. ✴ On a 10+, you can reform inert matter in your vicinity into a simple shape or structure of your choosing ✴ On a 7-9, as above but choose one option from the list below:
– The structure is unstable and will collapse momentarily.
– It takes a great force of will to maintain the shape. You may only hold the matter in its current configuration for as long as you are able to maintain full concentration.
– The power of the cloak is drained. It will take at least a day before you will be able to make use of it again.
It’s cool. Reminds me of a similar thing I did a few months ago. ‘Inert matter’ is a bit too vague, it could be from chunks of rock to entire starships which you transform into a structure that functions as a teslacoil railgun of planteray obliteration. I remember using something along the lines of ‘reasonably sized’; ‘keeping size and shape similar’; or just altering shape.
What’s the DW item that does this?
Thanks for the feedback, Camilo. I see what you mean. What if I changed it to the following:
“On a 10+, you can reform non-living, non-complex matter in your vicinity into a simple shape or structure of your choosing. The greater the amount of material altered the greater the possible consequences. ✴ On a 7-9, as above but choose one option from the list below: ”
