6 Chapter One Rigging a Weapon

SCION:ORIGIN has a short comment on how to jury-rig an object in moments, under Flaws on page 77. A rigged weapon can be done quickly if you have the right material, or one weapon can be made from another. You can make a spear with some duct tape, a kitchen knife, and a broom stick. Since almost all weapons are Tier 1 creations, rigging such a weapon results in 2 points worth of Flaws (see page 77 ofS CION:ORIGIN) or negative tags. The Fragile and Inaccurate tags are especially fitting for a rigged weapon, but you could also consider the Prototype tag (all three tags can be found below). Stunts and Tags and Conditions... Oh, my Stunts

40 Chapter Five Repairing Armor

Hard armor inS CION SECOND EDITION works sort of like a buffer against injury in the form of additional Injury Condition boxes. Such armor can grant you either one or two of these additional boxes and once they take damage they stay filled until the end of the scene.

An alternative is presented here to have damaged armor needing time to be repaired. Repairing each Armor box offscreen will take about two days, but the alternative is to make active repairs over the course of one scene. It requires a roll using the appropriate Skill + Attribute against a difficulty of 2. Additional 2 successes can be used to empty the armor’s second Injury Condition box if necessary.

The roll that is required could be anything fitting to the action. A roll of Athletics + Might could be apt if you are repairing the armor yourself, while a roll of Persuasion + Presence would be more appropriate to hire someone else to repair the armor for you. If your Relic armor has been damaged, a roll of Occult + Might could be fitting to repair the arcane runes that adorn the armor.

This optional mechanic should not be used lightly. The reason why hard armor is fine after at the start of a new scene is a matter of balance. If the armor is out of commission for the rest of the session, most Scions would just wear soft armor instead. Damaged hard armor should rather be treated as an optional Condition which the Scion can take and be rewarded with a point of Momentum for putting their equipment on the line.

Secrets of the Zeus Cannon

You may find it a bit odd that the Zeus Cannon is listed among the Relics of this book, especially since it is not even given a Birthright rating. That is because it is intended more as a weapon to propel the plot than a weapon to grant the players mass destructive powers. The Zeus Cannon is not made for Godly use, it is made to destroy them. The safest option is to destroy it first. WhetherSample the Zeus Cannon is technically a Relic or not is entirelyfile up to the Storyguide. It could be a weapon that was created by humans using advanced technology, or it could have been created by titanspawn or dwarfs who didn’t want to live under the thumb of divine beings anymore. In any case, it is too powerful for the players to control at this stage, so the best course of action is probably to not give them control over it.
