| - | Constructs are autonomous creations which fight for their Creator. Building them requires sufficient resources with the right potential, which are best salvaged from defeated foes. With 10 seconds of work in close proximity to an unresisting body other than themself, a Creator may consume 1 Potential to turn that body into an ally which unquestioningly follows their orders. During this time they should inform the phys-rep of this body of this and provide them with their stats as a Construct. | + | Constructs are autonomous creations which fight for their Creator.

| If this is done to a monster with Waves this instead cancels out one Wave (it is assumed that the Construct is fighting the cancelled wave until the encounter ends), unless they have only one Wave remaining, in which case the Wave is deferred until the Construct is defeated. | If this is done to a monster with Waves this instead cancels out one Wave (it is assumed that the Construct is fighting the cancelled wave until the encounter ends), unless they have only one Wave remaining, in which case the Wave is deferred until the Construct is defeated. | ||
| - | A basic Construct will have 8 hits and strike for SINGLE, using whatever weapons the phys-rep had at the time, discarding shields. The construct makes a constant background mechanical noise whilst not making calls. | + | A basic Construct will have 8 hits and strike for SINGLE, using whatever weapons the phys-rep had at the time, discarding shields. The construct makes a constant background mechanical noise whilst not making calls. |
| - | If used on a cooperative target the mechanisms can instead be used to sustain them, providing a call of HEAL against that target at the point that the Construct is built around them instead of the usual effect. At any point whilst they are within this Construct the Creator may switch it to its usual operation, this replaces their stats with those of the Construct and they must unquestioningly follow the Creator’s orders as their body is effectively puppeted by the Construct - call TIME FREEZE to explain these new rules and stats. | + | |
| - | A Creator typically may only have one Construct or Contraption active at once, and they last until the end of the encounter or until destroyed. A Construct that is not operating as an autonomous player may never benefit from the HEAL call. | + | A Creator typically may only have one Construct or Contraption active at once, and they last until the end of the encounter or until destroyed.

| + | If you have used this ability on someone, do not currently have an active Construct and you are certain that they have not received the HEAL call through other means since, you may call EFFECT: "Follow my orders" ONGOING on them as their body is effectively puppeted by these mechanisms. This ONGOING call has no lasting consequences. | ||
| ===Contraptions=== | ===Contraptions=== | ||
| - | Contraptions are small tactical siege weapons with which a Creator can shoot down their foes or maintain a defensive position at the cost of mobility. With 30 seconds of appropriate roleplaying, a Creator may consume 1 Potential to build a Contraption. | + | Contraptions are small tactical siege weapons with which a Creator can shoot down their foes or maintain a defensive position at the cost of mobility.

Upon firing, any charges not used are wasted. | A basic Contraption gains 1 charge per 20s, may hold only 1 charge, and may be fired at targets up to about 10 meters away to deal 1 point of damage per charge.

| Instead of applying the process to produce a Construct to another, you may apply it to yourself. This takes the usual 10 seconds of work and 1 Potential, at the end of which you take a HEAL and gain any Alchemy-related calls your Construct would have had for the encounter. If you choose, in the Physical world you may instead replace your stats with those of your Construct. In addition, your Constructs have 2 extra hits. Whilst you are sustained by the HEAL or still have calls remaining you count as an active Construct. | Instead of applying the process to produce a Construct to another, you may apply it to yourself.

| - | You are capable of rigging traps with Alchemy that is triggered when people stumble into them. Whilst moving no faster than a slow walk and using both hands as you walk the path you intend it to occupy you may consume 1 Potential to create a 10m long line infused with one type of Alchemy you know. This then remains in place for the rest of the encounter (and for up to 2 further encounters should they happen to take place in the same IC location). Whenever anybody crosses that line you may make the call associated with that Alchemy at them (though this is still subject to the usual 1 second rule). Once they have identified a call associated with a particular trap a GM may make that call against anybody besides you who crosses the line up to once every 30s. | + | You are capable of rigging traps with Alchemy that is triggered when people stumble into them.
