Patron Item
Wings of Pronbida (Patron Item)

A pair of polished bronze wings immune to the ravages of time and of the finest craftsmanship.
Unique Enchanted Item
Dimensions: ten foot wingspan, but a mere two feet when folded
• The wearer gains the Fly power while using this talisman. The medallion has a base of 10 P.P.E. and regains 1 PPE per hour. They do not gain access to Mega Modifiers.
• Indestructible: Cannot be destroyed by any means, save alchemy. Cannot be used defensively or offensively (provide no protection at all)
• Protection from Spell Magic: The wearer acts as if he had 1 points of Armor when hit by damage-causing arcane powers, and adds +1 to his Trait rolls when resisting opposed powers. Even friendly arcane powers must subtract this modifier to affect the resistant hero. This stacks with Arcane Resistance, Arcane Protection, and other such abilities.
Curse: None
History: Unknown dwarven craftsmen being held prisoner in Baalgor created these wings to flee their captors and obtain their liberty during the great Elf-Dwarf War.

Looks pretty good with three notes that need to be fixed.

1) Looking I guess the minimum Advances for the game is 17, so you may add one advance.

2) I do not think TK can be innate. As far as I recall only One With Magic or being a Psi-Slinger can make TK innate.

3) What are Sidekick - Igora's Mantle and Arogi's Bane? Are those the Trapping names applied to your sword and shield?

1) Ok I will add one more

2) You are right TK is missing the * in the book

3) Just the Mantle is a sidekick.

A cold wind blew down the pass as a lone elf stood before the on-rushing army. The day that been foretold had arrived. Arogi had breached the gates and the pass had fallen. Sigurd spit bitterly upon the ground for he had failed to hold the pass. He had failed to stop the prophecy. He would hold the army for as long as he could. To the south most of the citizens had fled already. Igora had spent most of his remaining power opening portals for them to flee. No one knew what was on the other side of the portals but everyone knew that staying here was not an option. Three humans and a stout dwarf walked up the pass from below Sigurd. Sigurd and 4 of his greatest warriors had refused to flee. They would hold the pass until all the citizens were gone. They all knew they would die here but that was a small price to pay for the lives of so many.

Arogi rode his dracolich mount and pushed the demon masses ahead of him. This was the day, Awnshere would be his to rule forever. No more who he listen to the his brother whine about being nice the mortals. He hunted long and hard to find the staff that would let him manifest in the prime material plane and with it he would control all that he saw.

The white guard braced themselves before the masses. Sigurd stood slightly ahead of them with his long golden hair flowing out behind him. The setting sun glinted on his slate grey eyes as he summoned his sword to his side. The weapon was ancient, and its surface was covered with runes that danced across it. Sigurd yelled his war cry and charged forward, and his men followed him one last time. It felt like hours that he fought and watched his men die one by one, he only prayed that he had given the citizens enough time. Finally his arm grew tired and his sword slowed a little too much and a demon’s blade slid past and pierced his side. As he crumbled to his knees, Arogi strolled forward and leered at him. Laughing Arogi said “now who will protect the ants as they scurry about.”

The laughing faded and Sigurd heard a voice in his head “be at peace, you have served me well and I did not forget you. Everyone that chose to flee is gone and safe now. I will open one last portal this day. Be safe and know that it was not all in vein.”

Sigurd passed out and ………..

Special Abilities

• Transferred Intelligence: Is alive, can take Arcane Backgrounds
• Arcane System: Must consume 5 Power Points from ley lines or other sources. Use lower of Occult or Spellcasting to fix.
• Small Frame: About 2' in height or length.
• No Ground Locomotion: To move, must take the Flight or Aquatic feature upgrade.
• Obvious Construct: The being is obviously inorganic, which can be a dangerous prospect. Dark lighting, loose clothing, and other tricks are required to hide the fact. Opponents gain +2 on Notice rolls to discern its true nature.
• Advanced Senses: In addition to the improved sensory capabilities, the Construct has advanced senses such as thermal, infrared, radiation, motion, radar, sonar, and so on, giving it 360-degree awareness ignoring Illumination penalties and conferring a +4 bonus to Notice rolls.
• Non-Vocal: The Construct lacks the ability to form the sounds made by most other races. It can understand typical languages and may communicate via electronic devices or other comparable means, but cannot converse with most other races. It can however communicate with other Constructs of a compatible tech base (through chirps and beeps, radio waves, or arcane methods).
• Obscure Construction: Artificial beings are often the product of alien design or weird secrets of super science. For −4 point impose a −4 penalty on skill checks related to their construction (such as repairing, modifying, or examining them)
• Feature Locked Physiology: Most artificial beings are highly advanced prototypes, and not easily upgraded. Unlike cyborgs or robots built using interchangeable parts, the Construct’s core physical systems cannot be modified and do not improve in performance after initial design and construction. The Construct may not purchase upgrades to Agility, Strength, or Vigor as it ranks up (though it may increase Smarts and Spirit as normal).
• May only use elemental powers: Designed to accomplish a specific set of tasks as efficiently as possible to the exclusion of all others, the Construct’s systems were not engineered for general use. Consider its Core Directive and choose a primary function (e.g. assault, repair, labor, piloting, medical, etc.). For −6 points the Construct subtracts 2 on Agility, Smarts, and all skill rolls not directly related to its primary function.
• Automated Repair Unit: Make a Vigor roll as a free action once per day to attempt to heal a Wound, gains +4 on rolls to resist “Bleeding Out”.

• Construct: Intelligent Constructs are beings made of inorganic material. They add +2 to recover from being Shaken, ignore 1 point of Wound penalties, don’t breathe, and are immune to Disease and Poison, and Wounds are fixed with Repair instead of Healing with no “Golden Hour”.
• Inorganic: Normal cyberware does not work on Constructs. They may not take cybernetics or roll on the Cybernetics Hero's Journey Table.
• Outsider (Major): People of Rifts Earth view Intelligent Constructs as property rather than sentient beings. They have no protections under the law and suffer a −2 to Persuasion when dealing with those who know of their advanced construction.
• Core Directive (Major): All Constructs are engineered with a primary function, which instills them with purpose. This often functions as the Vow (Major) or Pacifist (Major) Hindrance but may take on other forms (a Major psychology-based Hindrance) per GM's approval.
• Wanted: Once its true natureis discovered, many powerful factions
  will hunt down the Construct for disassembly and study, slated for immediate destruction, or sold to the highest bidder.
• Malfunctions: Constructs are subject to breakdowns when put under extreme stress (i.e. Technical Difficulties).
