Revision as of 17:49, 25 June 2014

The adventurer’s life is not an easy one, and odds are that sooner or later, someone is going to be missing something. While magical healing is an amazing thing, the truth is that not everyone is going to access to the level of magics needed to replace a missing limb, or even to reattach one. At lower levels, the amount of money required for such healing may be unattainable. In short, there are going to be times when someone’s going to need an artificial replacement for their own flesh and blood, at least in the short term.

Many of these rules, and some of the text, has been adapted from 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming, a 3PP. Many thanks to them for their hard work and contributions!

We do not use the sever combat maneuver.

Prosthetic Guidelines

In addition to the guidelines published by 4 Winds, the following apply to prosthetics on Tenebrae:

  1. If you possess a combat prosthetic which is an attached weapon, you may have the the weapon enchanted as per normal rules.
  2. Generally, prosthetics may be removed with a successful Heal (15) check, and about 1 minute of work.
  3. Clockwork and mechanical prosthetics are considered to be artifice. That is, bits of mana are mixed with machinery, though how much and how obvious, or even how bizarre it appears is up to you.
  4. This may change down the line, but at this time, ancestral weapons may not be made into combat prosthetics. We want to see how these rules play out, first, and this would be adding a lot of complications from the get-go.

Descriptions

Mundane Prosthetics Details

Blunt Fist

A blunt fist is a type of combat prosthetic. It is a solid ball of metal, or sometimes it is shaped like a fist or hammerhead. It can be used as a tool, but it’s most practical application is as a weapon. A blunt fist does 1d6 bludgeoning damage per strike. It is considered a light martial weapon.

Blunt Foot

A solid wooden sphere with the base shaved flat, the blunt foot allows its wearer to move at a normal rate. The wearer still may not run, charge, bull rush, or overrun.

Clamp

A spring-loaded, metal, crab-like claw originally designed by gnomes to improve their grip. As a prosthetic, it negates the -4 penalty to grapple, and can be used as a gauntlet attack. In all other ways it is identical to the sculpted hand.

Clockwork Leg

The clockwork leg appears to be an armored leg that clicks and whirs as it moves. The clockwork leg was another gnomish invention. The leg provides a near-perfect return to full functionality and mobility for the wearer, but is very expensive. The clockwork leg negates the wearer’s penalties for losing a leg at the knee.

Combat Prosthetics

Combat prosthetics are weaponized replacements for a character’s hand or arm, designed for bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing. Piercing hands are generally a sturdy steel spike or dagger-like blade, slashing hands are either an array of knives or one large, often curved blade like a kukri, and bludgeoning hands are often solid metal fists or mace heads. None are suitable for manual tasks but are too well-secured to be disarmed in combat. As a rule of thumb, any light melee weapon can be made into a weapon hand at 1 ½ times the weapon’s cost. The wearer must be proficient in the type of weapon in order to use the combat prosthetic without penalty.

Combat prosthetics – and the people who wear them – are impressive to behold. Any character wearing one receives a +5 circumstance bonus to intimidate checks.

Hit Points: as weapon type

Note: A few specialized combat prosthetics are individually detailed in this listing. Many other prosthetics can be used in combat, but are not specifically combat prosthetics.

Crossbow Arm

The crossbow arm is a light crossbow designed to be loaded and fired with one hand. It is out of the way when at rest. Bolts fired from the crossbow arm deal 1d8 (19-20/x2) piercing damage. It is considered a light simple weapon.

Crow’s Foot

Y-shaped with built in stump grip, the wooden crow’s foot returns the feel of a normal foot to the wearer, negating the penalty to Climb skill checks. In all other ways it is identical to the blunt foot.

Crutch

A Y- or T-shaped implement of wood used to help support one’s weight when one’s leg cannot. A character’s speed is reduced by 5 ft. while using a crutch. The crutch can be used as an improvised melee weapon, but without the Catch Off-Guard feat, wielders suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls.

Fork Hand

A pair of straight or slightly curved tines like those on a pitchfork, mounted on a harness that fits over the character’s stump. It is otherwise similar to a sculpted hand. A fork hand can be used for melee attacks, delivering 1d4 piercing damage on a successful strike. It is considered a light simple weapon for combat purposes. The character wearing a fork hand also receives a +5 circumstance bonus to intimidate checks, if the fork hand is used as part of the intimidation. A fork hand reduces the penalty to Climb, Craft, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, and Use Magic Device checks from -5 to -3.

Gaff/Hook Hand

A simple metal gaff hook, like those used by sailors and longshoremen, mounted on a harness that fits over the character’s stump. It is only capable of the crudest manipulation and does not have a grip. It is impossible to hold a tool or weapon with this hand, but it can be used for opening doors or loosely holding onto things. It is otherwise similar to a sculpted hand. A hook hand deals 1d4 (19-20/x2) piercing damage when used in combat, and is considered a light simple weapon. The character wearing a gaff hand also receives a +5 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks, if the hook is used as part of the intimidation. The gaff hand reduces the penalty to Climb, Craft, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, and Use Magic Device checks from -5 to -2.

Haft Lock

A vice that provides a great deal of grip, but unlike the clamp, the haft lock must be adjusted manually to achieve the proper tension. As a prosthetic, it allows the wearer to wield a weapon two-handed. Adjusting a haft lock takes one full round. In all other ways it is identical to the sculpted hand, and like the clamp, it can be used to make a gauntlet attack.

Hinged Calf

This tight jointed prosthetic mimics the knee-to-ankle area of the leg. Ankle/foot prosthetics can be attached to its ankle end. The hinged calf is made of leather and metal. The hinged calf negates the wearer’s penalties for losing a leg at the knee. The wearer still suffers the penalties for losing a foot.

Hinged Forearm

This tight jointed prosthetic mimics the elbow-to-wrist area of the arm. Wrist/hand prosthetics can be attached to its end. The hinged forearm is made of leather and metal. The hinged forearm negates the wearer’s penalties for losing an arm at the elbow. The wearer still suffers the penalties for losing a hand.

Hoof

Sometimes made of steel and designed to look like a horse’s foot, other times these are real animal hooves. Dense, durable, light, and aerodynamic, the hoof allows the wearer to run, overrun, and bull rush normally. In all other ways it is identical to a blunt foot.

Peg Leg, Metal

A higher quality peg leg than the standard wooden peg. Like the wooden leg, it includes a leather cup and straps to tie onto the stump of the leg. A metal peg leg allows the wearer to run and charge, it reduces the penalty to Acrobatics, Climb, Ride, Stealth, and Perform checks by 3, from -5 to -2. It also allows the wearer to run and charge, but still at a reduced speed.

Peg Leg, Wooden

The standard in foot/leg prosthetics, this device is a wooden peg with a leather cup and straps to tie onto the stump of the leg. A peg leg can be made to fit anything from a missing foot to an entire missing leg. A wooden peg leg allows the wearer to run and charge, it reduces the penalty to Acrobatics, Climb, Ride, Stealth, and Perform checks by 2, from -5 to -3. It also allows the wearer to run and charge, but still at a reduced speed.

Pocket Shaft

A pocket shaft gives every impression of being nothing more than a hinged forearm without a wrist attachment. However, a pocket shaft actually contains a hidden repository. The pocket can hold as much as a belt pouch, and is padded to muffle the sound of items moving inside. Discovering the existence of the pocket shaft requires a DC 25 Perception check. In all other ways it is identical to a hinged forearm.

Sculpted Foot

This prosthetic is a wooden or stone foot which resembles a real foot. Sculpted feet are often painted in flesh tones to match the skin of the character wearing them and can only be identified as a prosthetic with a successful Perception check (DC equals the Craft skill check of the individual that sculpted the prosthetic). If the character is wearing socks, shoes or boots, no one can identify the prosthetic. The sculpted foot is not at all fully functional. It is otherwise similar to a blunt foot.

Sculpted Hand

This prosthetic is a wooden or ceramic hand, usually in a generally relaxed pose, which looks real at first glance. Sculpted hands are often painted in flesh tones to match the skin of the character wearing it and can only be identified as a prosthetic with a successful Perception check (DC equals the Craft skill check of the individual that sculpted the prosthetic). It can hold mundane objects weighing 10 pounds or less, such as cups and pouches, between its opened fingers, but cannot be used to wield weapons. A sculpted hand reduces the penalty to Climb, Craft, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, and Use Magic Device checks from -5 to -2.

A sculpted arm functions in the same manner as a sculpted hand.

Shin Sheath

The distance between the knee and the ankle is exactly the same length as the average dagger. Resembling a hinged calf, the shin sheath is the dream of any rogue who has lost a leg. Finding a dagger hidden in a shin sheath requires a DC 25 Perception check. In all other ways it is identical to a hinged calf.

Spiked Limb

The spiked limb is a solid piece of oak covered in metal spikes. An ever-present weapon, it delivers 1d6 points of bludgeoning and piercing damage on a successful strike, and is treated as a light simple weapon. It is otherwise identical to a ceramic hand.

Talon

A modified fork or hook, with three metal digits that can open and close, allowing them to hold objects somewhat well. The claws are manipulated by using the muscles of the upper arm and turning the remnants of the limb. Some look like a set of simple metal hooks capable of pivoting, while others are more ornate, shaped to resemble the talons of predatory birds. The talon hand can be used as a weapon, delivering 1d6 points of slashing damage. It is treated as a light simple weapon. Talons are otherwise similar to sculpted hands. It is identical to a gaff/hook hand in all other ways.

Wooden Leg

A simplified and not very life-like wooden leg which has a hinged knee and jointed ankle. The wooden leg allows the character to walk stiffly. It is otherwise similar to a wooden peg leg.

Magical Prosthetics Details

All magical prosthetics completely negate any and all penalties for losing the limb which the prosthetic replaces, in addition to the magical abilities/bonuses mentioned in each individual description.

Construction Requirements

Craft Wondrous, mage hand

Cost 500 gp.

Armor for Prosthetics

Armored prosthetics are easily achieved by adding armor-grade leather or steel to a prosthetic. A character with funds to spend can choose to add armor to a prosthetic. Typically, only full-length prosthetic arms or legs are armored. Armor for prosthetics instead increases the hardness and hit points of the prosthetic, making it less vulnerable to damage from an enemy’s blade. Armor added to a prosthetic does not affect its AC, otherwise.

Leather armor adds:

  • +2 to the hardness and +5 hit points to a prosthetic arm. Cost: 15 gp, Weight:: 2 lbs.
  • +2 to the hardness and +7 hit points to a prosthetic leg. Cost: 20 gp, Weight:: 4 lbs.

Steel armor adds:

  • +10 to the hardness and +7 hit points to a prosthetic arm. Cost: 25 gp; Weight:: 4 lbs.
  • +10 to the hardness and +15 hit points to a prosthetic leg. Cost: 30 gp; Weight:: 6 lbs.

Adamantine armor adds:

  • DR 1/-, +20 hardness and +10 hit points to a prosthetic arm. Cost: 1,500 gp; Weight:: 6 lbs.
  • DR 1/-, +20 hardness and +20 hit points to a prosthetic leg. Cost: 2,000 gp; Weight:: 10 lbs.

Mithral armor adds:

  • +15 hardness and +7 hit points to a prosthetic arm. Cost: 1,000 gp; Weight:: 2 lbs.
  • +15 hardness and +15 hit points to a prosthetic leg. Cost: 1,500 gp; Weight:: 3 lbs.
