[GLoW] Artificer

Our final class for this round of posts is the Artificer, the setting's wizard equivalent. It draws heavily from Loch Eil's Wonder-Worker. Included are four Lores (wizard school equivalents).

Artificer

Start with three Devices.
+1 Power Cell per template.
A: Lore, Wonders
B: Personal Style
C: Census
D: Wisdom
ς: Apprentice
Δ: Reactor

Lore: Choose between the Lore of Carbon, the Lore of Silicon, the Lore of Beams and the Lore of the Vat. You start with Secret Zero of your Lore and roll 1d6 at each template (including the first) for an extra Secret known.  Should you roll one you already possess, choose which Secret you uncover. This is the only way to access the Eighth and higher Device of your Lore. 

Power Cells: Each Lore has its own specific technique for recharging spent Power Cells. If used to provide charge, assume an Artificer can generate [templates] d6s of charge per day.

Wonders: To create a Wonder of the World Before, combine a Device of your Lore with a Source, then draw on any number of Power Cells. Roll 1d6 per Cell, depleting it on a 4-6. If doubles are rolled, something goes awry with your creation - the Mishap Entity for your Lore comes to stalk you. If triples are rolled, several of your Mishap Entity appear. They create a local calamity as the Device used is destroyed by the chaos. Lose [highest] Loyalty if you don't fix the problem.

Personal Style: Choose one positive and one negative trait from the scrap modifications table. When modifying items with scrap, you may use one of these traits in place of the corresponding trait provided by the scrap. You may also modify Devices, giving them +2 to [sum] if Enhanced.

Census: If you become Chief, you may conduct a census to obtain an accurate account of exactly how many people of which sexes, ages, professions and levels your Tribe possesses. This will be resisted by ancient custom, as if you are successful in the attempt, you gain the Secret of Tribes, which can be used to focus one of your Devices upon your entire Tribe simultaneously.

Wisdom: Once per day, after seeing the roll for a Wonder, you may decide to be more cautious and withdraw one Power Cell from the result. Resolve the rest as if you never drew on that Cell. 

Apprentice: When recruiting tribal hirelings, you may recruit an Apprentice if you do not already have one. They have one Power Cell of their own and will use any Sources or Cells you provide, but only comprehend Device Zero from your Lore. Your apprentice(s) can pool their Power Cells together with you to work greater Wonders and, if you are Chief, with each other.

Reactor: If you build a machine made from scrap with one of each positive trait, you can use it to synthesize new Devices. Research costs 20 Cells of power, generated by the method your Lore normally recharges Power Cells. Tell the GM what you wish to synthesize and what you intend for it to do. They will reveal what needs to go into the Reactor to create a Device like that.
