THUNDERSTRIKE DRAGON ARMOUR

ASHIGARU THUNDERSTRIKE
(ARTIFACT •••)
Repair: 1
The Ashigaru were First Age units comprised of mortals trained as fast-attack light infantry and scouts. To this end, their Ashigaru skirmish Armour aids wearers in reconnaissance and skirmish missions. Beings capable of channeling Essence may commit four motes to attune this Armour. Mortals may either use aegis-inset amulets (see p.71) or else commit one point of Willpower. Characters who have committed Willpower to Ashigaru Armor at any time in a season age one extra week during that time. In appearance, the suit combines a helmet and a skin-tight bodysuit layered
With light plates of magical alloys protecting the legs, arms and torso. The artifact has the following features:

Sensory Augmentation Visor*: +2 bonus to Awareness; negates all penalties from darkness less than pitch black.

Filtration Baffles*: +2 bonus to Resistance against poison or all forms of disease (including wound infection); One-hour supply of fresh air (refilling the tank in fresh air takes one minute per five minutes of air added to the tank).

Adaptive Camouflage Subsystem*: +2 bonus to Stealth while moving, or +3 while stationary.

Integrated Targeting Subsystem*: +2 bonus to all attacks; +1 Parry DV.

Integrated Jump Apparatus*: Essence users and spend 2 motes or 1 willpower if mortals to perform a jump action. This action allows the user to add +2 to their athletics rating for the purposes of calculating jump distance.

Upkeep: Maintenance required every 150 hours of use; every 10 missed hours randomly disables one of the powers marked with an asterisk.

Armament
Small Essence Cannon
 (Artifact 2, Repair 1): A heavy brass and steel tube lined with Essence lenses, this model of cannon is just small enough to qualify as a personal weapon. It is fired over the shoulder for use in crowd control or attacking small vehicles/structures.
