Hedgespun Machines

"A clock whose ticks and tocks are whispers pulled from the unconscious minds of those around it, speaking them aloud for all to hear. A toy monkey whose clapping cymbals release thunderclaps. A gleaming gramophone that doesn’t record sound… it records souls."


 * Complexity:
 * Simple machines
 * A doorknob is just a wheel and axle, maybe when such a knob is placed on a hard surface it can open a door into the changeling's Hollow.
 * A handheld trebuchet is just a lever, maybe that token flings Hedge pebbles that never miss.
 * No dice pool penalties.
 * Complex Machines
 * A '76 corvette that uses Autumn leaves as fuel requires the integration of several smaller tokens.
 * -3 to Wits + Craft rolls.
 * Electronic Machines
 * An old 1950s-looking television that tunes into various parts of the Hedge and shows those areas on the screen (albeit behind occasional static and in black-and-white).
 * -5 to Wits + Craft rolls.
 * A single dot in a Hedgespun machine represents a basic functionality similar to an ordinary machine that could be obtained through mundane means, but with a distinct fae appearance of quirk.
 * Additional merit dots:
 * The item provides an appropriate equipment bonus at a rate of +1 dice for each dot spent. (Applies to a single skill only.)
 * A little clockwork caterpillar that plunges into a lock and tries to open it with twitching mandibles would add to a lock-picking (Larceny) attempt.
 * A series of optical lenses (taken perhaps from the actual eyes of cat-faced goblins from the Goblin Market) worn around the head might automatically determine what would best clarify or magnify what is in the character’s view, adding as such to Investigation rolls.
 * One dot can be used to increase the machines Durability rating by one.
 * Dots can be used to add the ability to pierce Durability like a mortar bit on a drill might do, for each dot spent, the item can ignore a point of an item's Durability.
 * A turn-screw drill made from a basilisk’s head - the creature’s spiralling tongue might be the point that could pierce, say, the heavy steel of a reinforced safe.
