Centraforge

The Centraforge is a machine used to enhance and modify any item of Gear (Weapons, Tools, Grapples, Spanners, Chisels) to make them more powerful and have different effects and capabilities. After using the Centraforge the result is Gear with one or more Traits applied to them. Traits come in three flavours: Boons (positive Traits), Defects (negative Traits) and Quirks (strange Traits which are normally negative).

The Centraforge requires 4 crafted Centraforge blocks to be placed with at least one side of each block touching another block before it will be activated and can be used for Forging.

To use the Centraforge you need to place an item (or stack if the same item) in the forge and load Forge Ingredients into the deck, then press the Begin Forging button. The only required ingredient is Setting Resin but you will want to have at least some sort of Boon Compound to add Boons.

The chance of success in the Centraforge are affected by the Character's Intelligence Bonus, Vitality Bonus, and Power Bonus, the items' Flexibility, and the amount of Power in the Centraforge (added through Centraforge Power Coils and Advanced Centraforge Power Coils).


 * Intelligence, the Gear’s Flexibility and the Centraforge’s Power all influence the Effectiveness of the Centraforge session. The higher the Effectiveness the more Boon points get added and the better the Boons will be.
 * Vitality determines how much Stability the Centraforge session has. Using ingredients will reduce the Stability, if it ever reaches zero the Gear and all used ingredients are disintegrated.
 * Power determines how much Vigour the Centraforge session has. Vigour is used up when using some ingredients. There is no penalty for running out of Vigour, apart from not being able to use ingredients that need Vigour.
