|The adventurer’s life is not an easy one, and odds are that sooner or later, someone is going to be missing something. While magical healing is an amazing thing, the truth is that not everyone is going to access to the level of magics needed to replace a missing limb, or even to reattach one. At lower levels, the amount of money required for such healing may be unattainable. In short, there are going to be times when someone’s going to need an artificial replacement for their own flesh and blood, at least in the short term.

==Prosthetic Guidelines==
 +
==Prosthetic Spends==
−
In addition to the guidelines published by 4 Winds, the following apply to prosthetics on Tenebrae:
  
−  
−
# A combat prosthetic which is an attached weapon may be made masterwork and enchanted as per normal rules.
  
−
# Prosthetics may be removed with a successful Heal (15) check, and about 1 minute of work.
 
−
# Clockwork and mechanical prosthetics are generally artifice. Appearance is up to you.
  
−
# This may change, but at this time, ancestral weapons may not be made into combat prosthetics. We want to see how these rules play out, first, and this would be adding a lot of complications from the get-go.
  
−
# Prosthetics below a certain cost have that cost eliminated through RPP. Otherwise, the cost is reduced sizably, compared to book.

:''Weapon Hand:'' Functions as a masterwork weapon of its type. This weapon is enchantable at higher tiers. You suffer a -4 to skill checks requiring fine manipulation, but the weapon hand may not be disarmed. If you select this option, you must pay for the base cost of the weapon, though it is considered automagically masterwork.
−
==Descriptions==
  
−
=== Mundane Prosthetics Details ===
  
−
==== Blunt Fist ====
  
−
A blunt fist is a type of combat prosthetic. It is a solid ball of metal, or sometimes it is shaped like a fist or hammerhead. It can be used as a tool, but it’s most practical application is as a weapon. A blunt fist does 1d6 bludgeoning damage per strike. It is considered a light martial weapon.
  
   
  +
:''Artificial Arm:'' The sf-x of the arm may be most anything. The arm may be composed of artifice or traditional magic, or it may be a solid, unmoving part. At this time, it is made of no special material.
−
==== Blunt Foot ====
  
−
A solid wooden sphere with the base shaved flat, the blunt foot allows its wearer to move at a normal rate. The wearer still may not run, charge, bull rush, or overrun.
  
   
  +
:''Artificial Leg:'' The sf-x of the leg may be most anything. The arm may be composed of artifice or traditional magic, or it may be a solid, unmoving part. At this time, it is made of no special material.
−
==== Clamp ====
  
−
A spring-loaded, metal, crab-like claw originally designed by gnomes to improve their grip. As a prosthetic, it negates the -4 penalty to grapple, and can be used as a gauntlet attack. In all other ways it is identical to the sculpted hand.
  
   
  +
:''Artificial Eye:'' The eye is made of a common gem of some type. This is upgradable at higher tiers.
−
==== Clockwork Leg ====
  
−
The clockwork leg appears to be an armored leg that clicks and whirs as it moves. The clockwork leg was another gnomish invention. The leg provides a near-perfect return to full functionality and mobility for the wearer, but is very expensive. The clockwork leg negates the wearer’s penalties for losing a leg at the knee.
  
   
  +
A prosthetic may also be treated as a Flaw for rewards purposes.
−
==== Combat Prosthetics ====
  
−
Combat prosthetics are weaponized replacements for a character’s hand or arm, designed for bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing. Piercing hands are generally a sturdy steel spike or dagger-like blade, slashing hands are either an array of knives or one large, often curved blade like a kukri, and bludgeoning hands are often solid metal fists or mace heads. None are suitable for manual tasks but are too well-secured to be disarmed in combat. As a rule of thumb, any light melee weapon can be made into a weapon hand at 1 ½ times the weapon’s cost. The wearer must be proficient in the type of weapon in order to use the combat prosthetic without penalty.
  
   
−
Combat prosthetics – and the people who wear them – are impressive to behold. Any character wearing one receives a +5 circumstance bonus to intimidate checks.

Hit Points: as weapon type
  
  +
|-
  +
|'''Tier Two'''
  +
|You've spent some efforts on upgrades. Select '''one''' of the following.
  +
:'''Special Material Construction:''' You may elect to reconstruct your prosthetic out of a special material, even a high quality gem. You must pay the cost of this material, but pay only 75%. However, this means that attacks with an adamantine arm would count as adamantine, and so on.
   
  +
Adamantine adds to the prosthetic:
−
'''Note''': A few specialized combat prosthetics are individually detailed in this listing. Many other prosthetics can be used in combat, but are not specifically combat prosthetics.
  
  +
* DR 1/-, +20 hardness, and +10 hit points to a prosthetic arm. '''Cost''': 1,500 gp; '''Weight:''': 6 lbs.
  +
* DR 1/-, +20 hardness and +20 hit points to a prosthetic leg. '''Cost''': 2,000 gp; '''Weight:''': 10 lbs.
  +
* Weapon is as normal.
   
  +
Mithral adds to the prosthetic:
−
==== Crossbow Arm ====
  
  +
* +15 hardness, and +7 hit points to a prosthetic arm. '''Cost''': 1,000 gp; '''Weight:''': 2 lbs.
−
The crossbow arm is a light crossbow designed to be loaded and fired with one hand. It is out of the way when at rest. Bolts fired from the crossbow arm deal 1d8 (19-20/x2) piercing damage. It is considered a light simple weapon.
  
  +
* +15 hardness and +15 hit points to a prosthetic leg. '''Cost''': 1,500 gp; '''Weight:''': 3 lbs.
  +
* Weapon is as normal.
   
  +
:'''Enhanced Purpose:'''
−
==== Crow’s Foot ====
  
  +
::''Weapon Hand:'' Your weapon hand becomes masterwork if it was not already, and receives some further upgrades which enable it to receive enchantments. It may now be enchanted as a weapon of its type. Enchantment costs are as normal.
−
Y-shaped with built in stump grip, the wooden crow’s foot returns the feel of a normal foot to the wearer, negating the penalty to Climb skill checks. In all other ways it is identical to the blunt foot.
  
   
  +
::''Artificial Arm or Leg:'' Your prosthetic arm or leg is of quality to receive enchantments. It may be enchanted in a similar manner to a belt, giving you up to a +6 in any one physical stat. Enchantment costs are as normal.
−
==== Crutch ====
  
−
A Y- or T-shaped implement of wood used to help support one’s weight when one’s leg cannot. A character’s speed is reduced by 5 ft. while using a crutch. The crutch can be used as an improvised melee weapon, but without the Catch Off-Guard feat, wielders suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls.
  
   
  +
::''Artificial Eye:'' Your prosthetic eye is of a quality to receive enchantments. It may be enchanted to provide the equivalent of any one Eye slot wondrous item. Enchantments available are those which may be worn constantly (if the item causes disorientation after a few rounds, it is not usable). When the prosthetic is in place, the wearer may not employ other eye slot devices.
−
==== Fork Hand ====
  
−
A pair of straight or slightly curved tines like those on a pitchfork, mounted on a harness that fits over the character’s stump. It is otherwise similar to a sculpted hand. A fork hand can be used for melee attacks, delivering 1d4 piercing damage on a successful strike. It is considered a light simple weapon for combat purposes. The character wearing a fork hand also receives a +5 circumstance bonus to intimidate checks, if the fork hand is used as part of the intimidation. A fork hand reduces the penalty to Climb, Craft, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, and Use Magic Device checks from -5 to -3.
  
   
−
==== Gaff/Hook Hand ====
  
−
A simple metal gaff hook, like those used by sailors and longshoremen, mounted on a harness that fits over the character’s stump. It is only capable of the crudest manipulation and does not have a grip. It is impossible to hold a tool or weapon with this hand, but it can be used for opening doors or loosely holding onto things. It is otherwise similar to a sculpted hand. A hook hand deals 1d4 (19-20/x2) piercing damage when used in combat, and is considered a light simple weapon. The character wearing a gaff hand also receives a +5 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks, if the hook is used as part of the intimidation. The gaff hand reduces the penalty to Climb, Craft, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, and Use Magic Device checks from -5 to -2.
  
   
  +
In addition, you gain access to the Prosthetic Tokens, below, and receive one for free at this time.
−
==== Haft Lock ====
  
−
A vice that provides a great deal of grip, but unlike the clamp, the haft lock must be adjusted manually to achieve the proper tension. As a prosthetic, it allows the wearer to wield a weapon two-handed. Adjusting a haft lock takes one full round. In all other ways it is identical to the sculpted hand, and like the clamp, it can be used to make a gauntlet attack.
  
   
−
==== Hinged Calf ====
  
−
This tight jointed prosthetic mimics the knee-to-ankle area of the leg. Ankle/foot prosthetics can be attached to its ankle end. The hinged calf is made of leather and metal. The hinged calf negates the wearer’s penalties for losing a leg at the knee. The wearer still suffers the penalties for losing a foot.
  
   
  +
|10 RPP
−
==== Hinged Forearm ====
  
  +
|-
−
This tight jointed prosthetic mimics the elbow-to-wrist area of the arm. Wrist/hand prosthetics can be attached to its end. The hinged forearm is made of leather and metal. The hinged forearm negates the wearer’s penalties for losing an arm at the elbow. The wearer still suffers the penalties for losing a hand.
  
  +
|'''Tier Three'''
  +
|Your prosthetic draws wolf whistles from gobber artificers. Select '''one''' of the following.
  +
:'''Special Material Construction:''' As above.
   
  +
:'''Enhanced Purpose:''' As above.
−
==== Hoof ====
  
−
Sometimes made of steel and designed to look like a horse’s foot, other times these are real animal hooves. Dense, durable, light, and aerodynamic, the hoof allows the wearer to run, overrun, and bull rush normally. In all other ways it is identical to a blunt foot.
  
   
  +
:'''Added Effects:'''
−
==== Peg Leg, Metal ====
  
  +
::''Weapon Hand:'' You receive a +3 total bonus to intimidate checks. Selectable once.
−
A higher quality peg leg than the standard wooden peg. Like the wooden leg, it includes a leather cup and straps to tie onto the stump of the leg. A metal peg leg allows the wearer to run and charge, it reduces the penalty to Acrobatics, Climb, Ride, Stealth, and Perform checks by 3, from -5 to -2. It also allows the wearer to run and charge, but still at a reduced speed.
  
   
  +
::''Artificial Arm:'' Treat your carrying capacity as though your strength were 2 higher. In addition, you receive a +2 to sunder versus objects. Selectable once.
−
==== Peg Leg, Wooden ====
  
−
The standard in foot/leg prosthetics, this device is a wooden peg with a leather cup and straps to tie onto the stump of the leg. A peg leg can be made to fit anything from a missing foot to an entire missing leg. A wooden peg leg allows the wearer to run and charge, it reduces the penalty to Acrobatics, Climb, Ride, Stealth, and Perform checks by 2, from -5 to -3. It also allows the wearer to run and charge, but still at a reduced speed.
  
   
  +
::''Artificial Leg:'' Increase your land speed by 5 ft. Selectable once.
−
==== Pocket Shaft ====
  
−
A pocket shaft gives every impression of being nothing more than a hinged forearm without a wrist attachment. However, a pocket shaft actually contains a hidden repository. The pocket can hold as much as a belt pouch, and is padded to muffle the sound of items moving inside. Discovering the existence of the pocket shaft requires a DC 25 Perception check. In all other ways it is identical to a hinged forearm.
  
   
  +
::''Artificial Eye:'' +3 to Perception checks OR Disable Device checks (you may select Added Effects for the Artificial Eye multiple times at higher tiers; each time, it applies to a different skill)
−
==== Sculpted Foot ====
  
−
This prosthetic is a wooden or stone foot which resembles a real foot. Sculpted feet are often painted in flesh tones to match the skin of the character wearing them and can only be identified as a prosthetic with a successful Perception check (DC equals the Craft skill check of the individual that sculpted the prosthetic). If the character is wearing socks, shoes or boots, no one can identify the prosthetic. The sculpted foot is not at all fully functional. It is otherwise similar to a blunt foot.
  
   
−
==== Sculpted Hand ====
  
−
This prosthetic is a wooden or ceramic hand, usually in a generally relaxed pose, which looks real at first glance. Sculpted hands are often painted in flesh tones to match the skin of the character wearing it and can only be identified as a prosthetic with a successful Perception check (DC equals the Craft skill check of the individual that sculpted the prosthetic). It can hold mundane objects weighing 10 pounds or less, such as cups and pouches, between its opened fingers, but cannot be used to wield weapons. A sculpted hand reduces the penalty to Climb, Craft, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, and Use Magic Device checks from -5 to -2.
  
   
  +
|10 RPP
−
A sculpted arm functions in the same manner as a sculpted hand.
  
   
  +
|-
−
==== Shin Sheath ====
  
  +
|'''Tier Four'''
−
The distance between the knee and the ankle is exactly the same length as the average dagger. Resembling a hinged calf, the shin sheath is the dream of any rogue who has lost a leg. Finding a dagger hidden in a shin sheath requires a DC 25 Perception check. In all other ways it is identical to a hinged calf.
  
  +
|Your prosthetic functions as a well-oiled machine. Select '''one''' of the following.
  +
:'''Special Material Construction:''' As above.
   
  +
:'''Enhanced Purpose:''' As above.
−
==== Spiked Limb ====
  
−
The spiked limb is a solid piece of oak covered in metal spikes. An ever-present weapon, it delivers 1d6 points of bludgeoning and piercing damage on a successful strike, and is treated as a light simple weapon. It is otherwise identical to a ceramic hand.
  
   
  +
:'''Added Effects:''' As above.
−
==== Talon ====
  
−
A modified fork or hook, with three metal digits that can open and close, allowing them to hold objects somewhat well. The claws are manipulated by using the muscles of the upper arm and turning the remnants of the limb. Some look like a set of simple metal hooks capable of pivoting, while others are more ornate, shaped to resemble the talons of predatory birds. The talon hand can be used as a weapon, delivering 1d6 points of slashing damage. It is treated as a light simple weapon. Talons are otherwise similar to sculpted hands. It is identical to a gaff/hook hand in all other ways.
  
   
  +
: '''Backup Prosthetic:''' You've been outfitted with an additional prosthetic of the same type as this spend, and are proficient at swapping them out. Given at least 1 minute, you may change your prosthetic for another. This "extra" prosthetic is of the same tier as your original and possesses a similar quality, but not any paid enchantments. That is, if your original prosthetic possessed Enhanced Purpose, your extra would be of this quality as well, though you would need to pay the enchantment cost for them separately. You may select this an additional time at a higher tier. Selecting this ability a second time provides a third backup, using the same rules as above.
−
==== Wooden Leg ====
  
−
A simplified and not very life-like wooden leg which has a hinged knee and jointed ankle. The wooden leg allows the character to walk stiffly. It is otherwise similar to a wooden peg leg.

The ''wizard’s hand'' is a simple magical prosthetic hand. It is a leather or metal bracer that has been crafted with the spell mage hand. The bracer does not cause a physical hand to appear, so the character still has a visible stump, but the mage hand cantrip allows the wearer to pick up light objects (less than 5 pounds) and use them in a fully normal way. The hand is not powerful enough to wield a weapon in combat, even if it can lift and carry the weapon. Anyone physically touched by the ''wizard’s hand'' feels the sensation of being touched, poked or grabbed. There is no warmth to the hand, nor is the hand cold to the touch.

Armored prosthetics are easily achieved by adding armor-grade leather or steel to a prosthetic. A character with funds to spend can choose to add armor to a prosthetic. Typically, only full-length prosthetic arms or legs are armored. Armor for prosthetics instead increases the hardness and hit points of the prosthetic, making it less vulnerable to damage from an enemy’s blade. Armor added to a prosthetic does not affect its AC, otherwise.

About Prosthetic Spends
Spend Type Prosthetics are a Limited spend.
About The adventurer’s life is not an easy one, and odds are that sooner or later, someone is going to be missing something. While magical healing is an amazing thing, the truth is that not everyone is going to access to the level of magics needed to replace a missing limb, or even to reattach one. At lower levels, the amount of money required for such healing may be unattainable. In short, there are going to be times when someone’s going to need an artificial replacement for their own flesh and blood, at least in the short term.


Prosthetic Spends

Limited Spends
Tier Benefit Cost
Prosthetic Parts (Tier One) Accidents happen. Life happens. Whatever did occur, you've acquired a prosthetic to help you cope (or perhaps you're an artificer and did this for fun). Select one of the following:
Weapon Hand: Functions as a masterwork weapon of its type. This weapon is enchantable at higher tiers. You suffer a -4 to skill checks requiring fine manipulation, but the weapon hand may not be disarmed. If you select this option, you must pay for the base cost of the weapon, though it is considered automagically masterwork.
Artificial Arm: The sf-x of the arm may be most anything. The arm may be composed of artifice or traditional magic, or it may be a solid, unmoving part. At this time, it is made of no special material.
Artificial Leg: The sf-x of the leg may be most anything. The arm may be composed of artifice or traditional magic, or it may be a solid, unmoving part. At this time, it is made of no special material.
Artificial Eye: The eye is made of a common gem of some type. This is upgradable at higher tiers.

A prosthetic may also be treated as a Flaw for rewards purposes.


5 RPP
Tier Two You've spent some efforts on upgrades. Select one of the following.
Special Material Construction: You may elect to reconstruct your prosthetic out of a special material, even a high quality gem. You must pay the cost of this material, but pay only 75%. However, this means that attacks with an adamantine arm would count as adamantine, and so on.

Adamantine adds to the prosthetic:

  • DR 1/-, +20 hardness, and +10 hit points to a prosthetic arm. Cost: 1,500 gp; Weight:: 6 lbs.
  • DR 1/-, +20 hardness and +20 hit points to a prosthetic leg. Cost: 2,000 gp; Weight:: 10 lbs.
  • Weapon is as normal.

Mithral adds to the prosthetic:

  • +15 hardness, and +7 hit points to a prosthetic arm. Cost: 1,000 gp; Weight:: 2 lbs.
  • +15 hardness and +15 hit points to a prosthetic leg. Cost: 1,500 gp; Weight:: 3 lbs.
  • Weapon is as normal.
Enhanced Purpose:
Weapon Hand: Your weapon hand becomes masterwork if it was not already, and receives some further upgrades which enable it to receive enchantments. It may now be enchanted as a weapon of its type. Enchantment costs are as normal.
Artificial Arm or Leg: Your prosthetic arm or leg is of quality to receive enchantments. It may be enchanted in a similar manner to a belt, giving you up to a +6 in any one physical stat. Enchantment costs are as normal.
Artificial Eye: Your prosthetic eye is of a quality to receive enchantments. It may be enchanted to provide the equivalent of any one Eye slot wondrous item. Enchantments available are those which may be worn constantly (if the item causes disorientation after a few rounds, it is not usable). When the prosthetic is in place, the wearer may not employ other eye slot devices.


In addition, you gain access to the Prosthetic Tokens, below, and receive one for free at this time.


10 RPP
Tier Three Your prosthetic draws wolf whistles from gobber artificers. Select one of the following.
Special Material Construction: As above.
Enhanced Purpose: As above.
Added Effects:
Weapon Hand: You receive a +3 total bonus to intimidate checks. Selectable once.
Artificial Arm: Treat your carrying capacity as though your strength were 2 higher. In addition, you receive a +2 to sunder versus objects. Selectable once.
Artificial Leg: Increase your land speed by 5 ft. Selectable once.
Artificial Eye: +3 to Perception checks OR Disable Device checks (you may select Added Effects for the Artificial Eye multiple times at higher tiers; each time, it applies to a different skill)


 10 RPP
Tier Four Your prosthetic functions as a well-oiled machine. Select one of the following.
Special Material Construction: As above.
Enhanced Purpose: As above.
Added Effects: As above.
Backup Prosthetic: You've been outfitted with an additional prosthetic of the same type as this spend, and are proficient at swapping them out. Given at least 1 minute, you may change your prosthetic for another. This "extra" prosthetic is of the same tier as your original and possesses a similar quality, but not any paid enchantments. That is, if your original prosthetic possessed Enhanced Purpose, your extra would be of this quality as well, though you would need to pay the enchantment cost for them separately. You may select this an additional time at a higher tier. Selecting this ability a second time provides a third backup, using the same rules as above.


 10 RPP
Tier Five Your prosthetic functions as a well-oiled machine. Select one of the following.
Special Material Construction: As above.
Enhanced Purpose: As above.
Added Effects: As above.
Backup Prosthetic: As above.


 10 RPP


Prosthetic Token Spends
Reward Benefit Cost
We Shall Overcome You've toughened yourself, since your loss. If for some reason you are without the use of your prosthetic, you suffer only half the normal penalties. 5 RPP, T2+
Resistant Your prosthetic becomes resistant to targeted dispel magic and similar effects. In effect, it gains SR equal to 5 + your character level. This only applies when the prosthetic is specifically targeted. 10 RPP, T2+
What, Again? You're just unlucky. You gain a second, different type of prosthetic. It is a T1 prosthetic with no additional benefits or properties aside from those provided in the T1 level of this spend. However, you may spend RPP to enhance it, including separate tokens. 10 RPP, T2+
Armored Prosthetic You've added armor-grade leather or steel to your prosthetic. 10 RPP, T2+


Armor for Prosthetics

Armored prosthetics are easily achieved by adding armor-grade leather or steel to a prosthetic. A character with funds to spend can choose to add armor to a prosthetic. Typically, only full-length prosthetic arms or legs are armored. Armor for prosthetics instead increases the hardness and hit points of the prosthetic, making it less vulnerable to damage from an enemy’s blade. Armor added to a prosthetic does not affect its AC, otherwise. If a prosthetic is made of a special material already, it may not receive this upgrade.

Leather armor adds to the prosthetic:

  • +2 to the hardness and +5 hit points to a prosthetic arm.Weight:: 2 lbs.
  • +2 to the hardness and +7 hit points to a prosthetic leg. Weight:: 4 lbs.

Steel armor adds to the prosthetic:

  • +10 to the hardness and +7 hit points to a prosthetic arm. Weight:: 4 lbs.
  • +10 to the hardness and +15 hit points to a prosthetic leg. Weight:: 6 lbs.
