(This is actually a transcription of a text file I’ve been keeping for this stuff since we started. I realized while on our trip that I didn’t have access to these notes, so I’m gonna stash them in the forum to keep better track and maybe make them look nicer).

The Trimaldi Bros.
(The Bros. Trimaldi – Shiny, Tiny, and Whiny.)
- Shiny is the charismatic one at the top of the clank;
- Tiny is the engineer / gadget guy in the middle;
- Whiny complains about always being at the bottom running the legs (but wouldn’t have it any other way)

Projects
- Adding Qualities to Equipment?: 2x cost on tables ← or requires Tinkerer Master: Upgrade?
- Weapons <269>, firearms <274> → multi?
- Armor <280> → resist, init
- Basics <126>
Project <134> from Tinkerer <210>
Camp Activities (narrowed down)
- Camp Forge - recycling stuff we get, material fodder for tinkering projects. Very in-character.
** Exploration - IP to spend! (Which, beyond tinkering, lets me switch weapon damage). - Martial Practice - being able to bump to Multi(3) (or a no-cost Multi(2)) could be handy – if only for one roll in one combat in one rest interval.
- Midnight Oil - I wish I was better at the project stuff (thinking in those terms, thinking of ideas, executing); this would be useful.
- Sleep Soundly - Adding an Equipment, Hinder, or Inventory action somewhere could be very handy.
** Training - Status effect immunity (from one attack).
Gadget - Magitech Armament
Updated in Discord 11/3/25
Gadget - Magitech Armament - Basic
You may perform the Inventory action and spend 2 IP to create a MAGITECH ARMAMENT (MA), and destroy any MA you previously created. When you create a MA:
- choose a Category for it: arcane, brawling, firearm, heavy, spear, or sword.
- choose whether it is a Melee or Ranged weapon, and
- choose an Accuracy formula between 【DEX+INS】+1 and 【INS+MIG】+1 for it.
- Damage = 【HR+12】 physical (but see Advanced Armament).
MA are always two-handed weapons and cannot benefit from the Monkey Grip Heroic Skill; the armament will always occupy both hand slots.
MA cannot have Qualities (but see Superior Armament)
Gadget - Magitech Armament - Advanced
When you create a MA using the Basic Armament benefit above,
- if both your hand slots are empty you may immediately equip that MA and perform a free attack with it.
- you may have it deal air, bolt, earth, fire, or ice damage, instead of physical.
Gadget - Magitech Armament - Superior
If you have your MA equipped:
- you may use an action to choose one weapon in your backpack. If you do, that weapon is destroyed and all your MA gain its Quality (if any) until you use this effect again (this includes any future MA you create as well).
- additionally, as long as you have your MA equipped, you gain a bonus to Defense and Magic Defense equal to 【Gadget SL / 2】.
