Lord Nobunaga and the Oni Courts: Sasori Objects

Forward
Hello. Within these pages will be detailed the construction and function of Sasori Objects from fine size to
colossal size. From rings to the massive power battery of the Oni Courts.
n essence! Sasori Objects are merely pseudo"magical items that can be created with the #Craft Sasori Objects$
feat. %hey almost always re&uire souls to power. %his boo' will detail out their creation process! how long a Soul
lasts! and what happens to that soul once it is used up.
Definition of Terms
Sasori Object:
( sasori object is any object created with the #Craft Sasori Object$ feat. f made small enough )%he same size
category of a character or smaller*! they can be grafted to a character. +rafting a Sasori Object to a character
deals ,d- Constitution damage! but the object is permanently grafted to the character. ( Sasori object can be
removed by it.s creator! or any other Sasori Scientist. /oing so deals ,d- Constitution damage to the target.
Object Ability:
%hese are the abilities invested within a Sasori Object. Object (bilities come in several varieties.
0hysical1 %hese are abilities that change the physical characteristics of the grafted individual
Spiritual1 %hese are abilities that change the soul of the grafted individual
2ental1 %hese are abilities that change the mind of the grafted individual.
3ormally these abilities are Hollow +rowth 0owers! but within this boo'! you will find ways to implement all
manner of effects into a Sasori Object. 4ach Object (bility normally increases the size of an object by one size
category beginning at %iny.
Effective Level:
%his is the level that the Sasori Object functions for abilities. 3ormally this is e&ual to the character that the
Sasori Object is grafted to.s level! but that could change.
Effective Reiatsu:
%his is the amount of 5eiatsu that the Sasori Object functions as having. 3ormally this is e&ual to the character
that the Sasori Object is grafted to.s 5eiatsu 5ating! but that could change.
Soul Crystal:
%hese are the devices that power Sasori Objects. %hey use the begins. innate 5eiatsu to power the object. Once
in a Soul Crystal! the soul is lost unless the crystal is sundered. Sundering a crystal means removing it from the
Sasori Object! and attac'ing it specifically. Soul Crystals have a hardness of ,6 and )7 hit points per soul within*.
( Soul Crystal lasts within a Sasori Object for one wee' per soul within. (fter that the soul is lost and removed
from the cycle of reincarnation unless a higher power intervenes on the soul.s behalf. nserting a Soul Crystal
into a Sasori Object is a standard action. 5emoving one is a 2ove (ction.

Grafting a Sasori Object to a Subject
(s described above! grafting a Sasori Object to a target damages their Constitution by ,d-! as does removing a
Sasori Object.
When grafting a Sasori Object to a target! the grafter ma'es a %reat njury chec' with a /C e&ual to the craft /C
of the Sasori Object to graft the object to the target. Once grafted! a Sasori object cannot be removed without an
e&ual %reat njury chec'. Failing either chec' ma'es the target ta'e Ad- Constitution /amage instead of the
normal ,d-. 4ither way! failing this chec' by ,6 or more destroys the Sasori Object.
When grafting a Sasori Object to a person! the object ta'es up one of their wearable item slots. Wearable slots
are as follows
One headband! hat! helmet! or phylactery on the head
One pair of eye lenses or goggles on or over the eyes
One amulet! brooch! medallion! nec'lace! periapt! or scarab around the nec'
One vest! vestment! or shirt on the torso
One robe or suit of armor on the body )over a vest! vestment! or shirt*
One belt around the waist )over a robe or suit of armor*
One cloa'! cape! or mantle around the shoulders )over a robe or suit of armor*
One pair of bracers or bracelets on the arms or wrists
One glove! pair of gloves! or pair of gauntlets on the hands
One ring on each hand )or two rings on one hand*
One pair of boots or shoes on the feet
f you have more than A arms! you can wear more than A rings. (dd one to the number of rings you can wear per
e@tra arm you possess. f you have two or more e@tra arms! you can wear more pairs of bracers! bracelets!
gloves and gauntlets. >ou gain the ability to wear one e@tra pair per A e@tra arms possessed. f you have two or
more e@tra legs! you can wear another pair of boots or shoes per A e@tra legs possessed.
+rafting an object is a choice. >ou can wear a Sasori Object ungrafted but you ta'e a "A penalty to attac'!
defense! and refle@ saves while wearing an ungrafted Sasori Object per ungrafted Sasori Object.
+rafting a Sasori Object ta'es as much time as regular surgery. /onning an ungrafted Sasori Object ta'es the
normal time for an object of that size and type.
Sasori Object Vitals
(ll Sasori objects are living creatures. (s such they have bonuses to saves and can ma'e saving throws of their
own. %he only save they share with their wielder is their 5efle@ save as they rely on their wielder.s locomotion.
When subjected to an effect that specifically targets the Sasori Object! the Sasori object.s saving throw is e&ual
to ,7 E the number of Object (bilities the device has E the (pplicable Statistic 9onus. )4 f a Sasori Object has B
abilities! it gains a E,F bonus to Fortitude and Will saves before statistics.*
( Sasori object is never subjected to a Fortitude! 5efle@ or Will save unless the ability in &uestion specifically
targets the Sasori Object. )2eaning you don.t have to ma'e a 5efle@ Save per Sasori Object you possess if you
are subjected to a Cero. >ou just ma'e one! for you.*
Sasori Objects have a number of hit points e&ual to the number of abilities it has @7 plus a multiple based on it.s
size.
%iny or smaller1 @.A7
Small1 @.7
2edium1 @,
8arge1 @A
Huge1 @B
+argantuan1 @D
Colossal1 @,-
So for e@ample. ( nec'lace with B abilities would have 7 hit points as it would be tiny. ( longsword )( medium
object* with B abilities would have A6 hit points. %he colossal power battery at the center of the Sasori
Compound! which has appro@imately A6 abilities! would have ,!-66 hit points.
Sasori Objects have hardness e&ual to the number of abilities on it @A. So the above e@amples would have D
hardness and B6 hardness respectively.
( Sasori object has a normal Strength! /e@terity! Constitution and Wisdom score for it.s owner.s power scale
minus ,6 points. t has an ntelligence of ,6 and a Charisma of ,6. %hese statistics are modified for the object.s
size as normal for a creature.
( Sasori Object benefits from all abilities that it confers to it.s wielder. t uses it.s owners vitals for it.s own while
grafted. )4 f your Sasori Object granted you 5egeneration! it too would have 5egeneration.*
( Sasori Object that is reduced to negative one half it.s hit points is rendered inert )2eaning it confers no
abilities* until it can be repaired by a trained professional. (nyone with Craft )9iological* as a favored s'ill can
ma'e a Craft )9iological* s'ill chec' that ta'es one hour and restores that many hit points to the Sasori Object in
&uestion.
sing a Sasori Object
When you use a Sasori Object! you e@pend a small part of your life force to power the device. With items of
Small size or smaller! this is represented by the fact that your soul is now powering the device. With larger
objects! this is represented by a Soul Crystal. f you do not have a Soul Crystal at hand! you may e@pend ,66
5eiatsu to get , minute of use out of a Sasori Object. %his ,66 5eiatsu doesn.t come bac' until you have gotten
D or more hours of rest.
When you use a Sasori Object! it wor's just li'e the power that was imbued into it including time and duration.
)For e@ample! if you were going to use a Sasori Object that allowed you to ma'e a Cero attac'! you would first
pay F6 5eiatsu! then ,6 reiatsu per d- of damage the Cero would deal! then up to your Constitution 2odifer @,6
reiatsu to power the Cero up further. %hen the device would fire the Cero.* For abilities that have no set duration
)8i'e most Shi'ai 0ic's*! the effect lasts for , minute per 4ffective 8evel. )So if you had a Sasori Object that was
a sword that granted you the Flame 9lade ability! it would last for , minute per effective character level instead of
being on at all times. f you instead had the /eflect 8ight ability in a cloa' for e@ample! it would last one round
per effective level or until you attac' as per the ability.* For abilities that are constantly active )Such as the
5egeneration Hollow +rowth 0ower*! these abilities begin as soon as the object is grafted to you! and continue
to operate as long as the Sasori Object isn.t rendered inert.
For objects with multiple powers! you may activate and deactivate them at will! as per the above paragraph.
