Creation Items

Creation items are things that were made using the mechanics of the Haven System. There are three varieties of creation items: knickknacks, consumables, and suos. Knickknacks are made using the Tinker ability chain and usually must be worn or manipulated to be used. Often they have multiple uses or the ability to recharge. Consumables are made using the Brewer ability chain and usually must be either eaten or drunk to be used though it is not uncommon for some to be topical. They rarely have more than one use and never have the ability to recharge. Suos are made using the Scribe ability chain and are magic in a physical form. They are always single use items that are destroyed after use.

Characters can only have a limited number of creation items, varying with kind. A character can only have a number of knickknacks equal to their character level plus one, a number of consumables equal to twice their character level plus two, and a number of suos equal to three times their character level plus two. These amounts are tracked separately and count all creation items of that type in your possession, regardless of whether a character is the creator.

A character can only make or use a creation item replicating abilities that they could reasonably use at their level. They don’t necessarily need to meet other requirements for the use of abilities. If the replicated ability requires a basic ability such as a Defense Equipment, Magical Attack, Supportive Power, or Weapon-Based Physical Attack, the effect of the consumable is applied directly to the character. For example, Positive Defense, normally requiring a Defense Equipment, would have its effect applied to the character rather than an Armor. Unless otherwise specified, abilities belonging to the Creation ability series cannot be replicated through creation items.

A creation item must replicate all of the ability's required abilities, unless that ability is a Defense Equipment, Magical Attack, Supportive Power, or Weapon-Based Physical Attack. The creator of an item must be able to normally use the replicated abilities, meeting all ability path and level requirements. Meeting the ability requirements are not necessary if the creator has Intuitive Brewer, Scribe's Intuition, or Tinker's Intuition.

Unless otherwise specified, creation items have the following durations: The default duration of a consumable is a number of cycles equal to the creator’s character level plus the user’s Endurance plus two. The default duration for a suos is a number of cycles equal to the creator’s character level plus a quarter their Magic score, rounded down. The default duration of a single use of a knickknack is a number of cycles equal to the user’s character level plus a quarter their Magic score, rounded down.

Like Granted Abilities, use of an ability through a creation item cannot be used to complete any ability paths nor as the requirement for an ability. Creation items can be targeted by Pick Pocket, but are not automatically returned at the end of combat. Unless otherwise specified, use of a creation item does not count as an activation of an ability, thus allowing abilities that might normally have some inherent conflict to be used at the same time. This does not resolve the restrictions upon what abilities and actions that may be combined in a turn.

Attacks that cancel the activations of abilities of a target would cancel the effect of a creation item as well. If the knickknack in use has been subjected to the ability Locked Power, the effect returns after a number of turns equal to the user’s character level plus two. The user does not have to sacrifice any action for this to occur.

Attacks focusing upon destroying an item are a called shot that takes -10 on the offensive roll. Items are considered to have ten hit points, and they use their user's defensive stats. Items that have been damaged can be repaired through Repair Item as if each point of damage were a use. If an item reaches -10 hit points, it is destroyed and cannot be repaired.

Unless otherwise stated, all knickknacks found in this section are easily accessibly in most cities and can be reasonably gained in those locations. Consumables and Suos replicating abilities that are 5th level or below are common and easily accessible in most cities, and even towns, while those replicating abilities higher than that require seeking out a Brewer or Scribe both skilled enough for to create it and willing to take commissions, usually only available in trade capitols. Storytellers are the final arbitrators of what is or is not available in the locales of their games.
