Infusions must be "slotted" into one of the following slots:

• Head: circlet, hat, helm.
• Eyes: goggles, glasses, lenses.
• Neck: amulet, pendant, choker.
• Shoulders: cloak, coat, mantle.
• Chest: shirt, armor.
• Arm (2x): bracer, bracelet, cuff.

• Feet: boots, shoes, slippers.
• Projectile Ammunition (3x): bullet, quarrel, arrow.
• Melee Weapon (3x): sword, dagger, club, axe, etc.

For now, there are no restrictions on which seeds can be used with which slots. This may change; there may be certain seeds that work better in certain slots.

Rank 1

Process:

• Choose one or more seeds.

• Calculate the final rank by tallying the individual cost of each seed and extra.

Seeds

Seeds describe a basic effect. Some may have multiple settings; that is, they may do more at rank 3 than at rank 1.

By default, all seeds listed have a rank cost of 1.

Assault

  • +1 rank: 75% movement penalty.
  • +2 ranks: 90% movement penalty.

  • +1 rank: Doubles number of images (cumulative).
  • -1 rank: Images cannot move independently of you; they stay in the same square, and cannot confuse enemies' area attacks.
  • Rank 2+: The image is capable of attacking, using an infusion you create, whose cost is added to the total.

Extras

By default, extras apply to all seeds. However, you may target an extra at an individual seed if you wish. That means it affects only that seed; its rank modification remains unchanged.

Everybody needs a little Nitro now and then!

Merely by combining a portable generator, a small (read: minimally volatile) tank of phlogiston, ample tubing to connect up all your gear, and, of course, a shitload of gears, you can wire up a whole big load of OOMPH to your infusions when you need it most!

Your Nitro generator produces combo points called Nitro. To conserve fuel, you only activate it in combat. Thus, you begin combat with 0 points, but can generate more, to a maximum of 5.

By default, you generate 1 point of Nitro per round. However, you may choose to use a special kind of generator, which may grant you more Nitro when certain conditions arise:

• Magitek Generator: This generator synergizes the worlds of magic and technology! Best of both worlds! Whenever someone casts a spell on you (with a casting time of at least swift), you gain 1 Nitro!
• Kinetic Converter: This generator absorbs incoming kinetic energy (read: fists, bullets, etc) affecting your immediate region (read: your face). Each time you are hit by physical damage, you gain 1 Nitro!
• Old-fashioned Hand-Cranker: This oldie-but-goodie sports a crankshaft, allowing you to rev it up the ol' fashioned way. You may spend a swift or standard action to gain 1 Nitro!

Mecha-suit = extra slots = more infusions!

Nothing like a menagerie of golems to keep you company!

You're no wizard, but you can do some real wizardry with weapons! The quintessential melee (or in this case ranged) hybrid.
