Equipment Generator

In the Ashen Age, Techmancery is not treated as science or engineering, but magic. Creating advanced Techmantic contraptions is a mystical, personal process. There are standard construction procedures, but each Techmancer and Mekanima add their own touch to the result. The item generator provides a way to portray the differences. The generator is divided into five parts. Each category is rolled once with d66.

Excellent quality items receive two rolls from Advantage table. Improvised quality items receive two rolls from Flaw table.

Appearance describes the general look.

Details bring up two special features which stand up from the whole. They can provide +2 TN or -2 TN under special circumstances.

Flaw is a weakness inherent to the item. It is a result of bad design or wear and tear.

Advantage is a special quality inherent to a particular item.

For example, let's say a GM is looking to flavor a clockwork pistol. He rolls 62 ending with a girlish appearance. Details are 41 – occult symbols and 44 – incense burners. The pistol is flawed with a short trange (61), but inflicts vile wounds (51).

Based on this, we could say the pistol is covered in fluffy red velvet, adorned with glitter and small animals. There several protective runes inscribed on the handle; perhaps the maker created the weapon as protection for a daughter. The barrel contains tiny devices, which transfer gunpowder smoke into incense. The gun has a short range (halved range bands), but it causes terrible wounds. Wounds inflicted bleed the same level damage and are harder (+1D) to treat.
