Description

The Ambush Axe is a favorite weapon of many Shadow Lords. By making a successful activation roll, the weapon can become virtually invisible, which obviously comes in handy in a fight.

Similar fetishes can be created using other weapons (swords, guns, clubs, etc.)

System: The number of successes on the activation roll is the number of successes someone else must beat on a Perception + Alertness roll (difficulty of 11 minus their Gnosis) to notice the Axe. However, the difficulty should be adjusted for how much the weapon is affecting the world; if it is simply hanging in the user's grip, no adjustment. If it is pressed against fabric, -2 Difficulty. If it is marking the terrain or objects, -3. If it is being used to forcibly shatter or slice something, -4. If it is being used to attack -5 Difficulty, and when/if it hits it's mark, the victim will definitely be able to see it.
