Animistic Tools, Mk 1

Hybrid

People often have superstitions regarding whether objects have a spirit or intelligence, and animistic tools were made with such beliefs in mind. Each of these tool kits has the power to communicate a user’s intentions to inanimate objects. Up to once per day, when you use animistic tools with the appropriate skill and you fail a check, you can use the tool’s magic to reroll the check and take the higher result. In addition, as a move action, you can tap or bang a tool from the kit on a broken object, causing the object to ignore the penalties of being broken for 1 minute. An item can benefit from animistic tools in this way only once per day, causing some engineers to joke that no one likes percussive maintenance.
