Workshop Weapon Creation (Project Moon Setting)

Workshops

Workshops are an integral part of the Fixer world and with them comes their own specialties and affinities much like associations and corporations.

How to make a Workshop Weapon or Armor

Items created in this way will have 2 augmentations at first level, 3 augmentations at 5th level, 4 augmentations at 10th level, and 5 at 15th level. Those rules only apply if you’re making a workshop weapons and armor from scratch, you may augment your uniforms or weapons from the Fixer Tools list from either features or if you gained them from other sources. Using a weapon or uniform from the list in this way treats it as if it has two less augment points. Here are some general ideas of what armor enhancements there would be:

• +1 to attack and damage rolls (up to +3)
• Removing or adding a property from a weapon
• Adding a special condition or effect.

For Armor it looks like this

• +1 to AC (up to +2)
• Gain resistance to one non magical damage type such as slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning (may only have one)
• Adding a special condition or effect.

Additionally, it would be good to consider what each workshop is known for before you go to them with a request. For example, it wouldn't be a good idea to bring a hammer to Atelier Logic workshop since they specialize in firearms, however Old Boys workshop may be able to do far more for that hammer than you could reasonably wrap your head around.

How many can I have?

You can have as many Workshop weapons as your wallet can handle, however you can only have one on your person at any given time unless otherwise stated.

Examples

Example 1 Philip reached Grade 5 and heard about Stigma Workshop. They work with him to design a weapon. Because he’s Grade 5, they are willing to make him a weapon that has two augmentations, however they are open to upgrading it down the line should his Grade improve. Philip decides on a long sword with the following augments in exchange for 1000gp and of course after waiting for the manufacturing time:

• +1 to attack and damage rolls
• Stigma Workshop's signature symbols (+1d4 fire damage and apply burn equal to fire damage done on weapon attacks)

Down the line Philip is promoted to Grade 3, where the workshop invites him back to upgrade his weapon. He realizes that the sword, while powerful, was a little unwieldy at times, and for his third augmentation point he has the longsword gain the finesse property so that he can use his higher dexterity rather than strength.

Example 2 Jackson is a Grade 1 Fixer who already has a workshop weapon from Atelier Logic that he is quite fond of. However, an up-and-coming workshop called Helmsplitter Workshop reached out to him because they thought he would be a great way to advertise as they specialize in swords and Jackson’s reputation shows him to be a powerful fixer. Jackson consults with them, and he agrees despite swords not really being his thing, but the workshop says that the weapon and all maintenance on it in the future will be free of charge. When designing the weapon itself, they recommend to Jackson that their greatswords are their best work, however Jackson has a high dexterity rather than strength. The workshop assures him it isn’t a problem, and they get to work. Jackson, due to his rank, has 4 Augmentation points and they are spent in the following ways.

• 1: Add the Finesse property
• 1: Remove the Heavy Property
• 1: Special Feature (Extra Crit Damage)
• 1: Special Feature (Applies 1d4 Rupture potency per hit)

Jackson found a liking to the greatsword and has brought it on some missions where his guns would be less effective. With that said however, due to how complex the weapons are, he cannot reasonably bring both weapons with him on his missions as managing both of them would slow him down.
