Artifacts

Bear Armor
Artifact 2
Soak: 5L/10B
Mobility: -2 Fatigue: 3
Commitment: 7
Blindingly pure White Jade forms the helm, chest plate and shoulder armor of the Bear Armor while Orichalcum encircles the wearer’s forearms. The armor is treated with a mixture of Moonsilver and Blue Jade, giving it a flesh-like flexibility that adapts to fit the wearer perfectly, enhancing the outline of his musculature and adding to his apparent size. A warrior outfitted in Bear Armor is a fearsome sight to behold. While wearing the Bear Armor, the warrior’s Strength is increased by 1 and his Athletics is increased by 3 for the purposes of lifting and breaking objects. A Bear warrior also gains 3 dice on intimidation-related rolls.

Armsbreaker
Artifact 2
Commitment 5 (NOT COMMITED)
One of your few self-made Artifacts, the Armsbreaker is a two-foot long Orichalcum sword breaker. It’s powerful blades can shatter almost any mortal weapon and the enchantments bound into it turn disarming your foe into a simple feat. Disarm rolls are made at difficulty 1 and there is no second save against them.

Grim Reminder
Artifact 4
Commitment 6
Forged by Markuran the Bear from the remains of his First Age incarnation and the cursed Soulsteel sarcophagus used to prison the demonic spirit inhabiting his former corpse, the Grim Reminder earned its name well. The dark taint of the Soulsteel and the dark soul of the corpse from which it was crafted have left their mark on the weapon. The bones of the ancient Exalt form the framework of the gauntlet that extends halfway up its wearer’s forearm, layered over the polished black Soulsteel.
It draws power from the darkness in the soul of who ever dons it, adding 1 to all its statistics when the bearer’s Limit rating is above 5 and 2 when they are in a Limit Break. The Grim Reminder itself is not vastly damaging, though it is covered in vicious spines from the Soulsteel sarcophagus. Instead of causing damage itself, the Reminder enhances the muscular strength and power of its owner. The stats for the Grim Reminder are added to whatever unarmed attack the wearer is currently making, despite covering only the right hand.
The Soulsteel used to construct the item was heavily enchanted to restrain and drain spiritual beings. Because of this, the Reminder can attack immaterial spirits normally, and its owner can sense their location without other aid. The Reminder also applies the normal Soulsteel magical material bonus without harmonization. For every 5 motes stolen by the Reminder, 1 temporary willpower is siphoned away as well. These willpower points are not, under any circumstances, diverted to the user. Harmonizing with the Reminder further enhances the Soulsteel’s power, directing all stolen motes into the pools of the owner.
Every time an opponent is killed with the Reminder, the taint of its evil flares particularly strong. A limit roll is required for each death inflicted by this weapon, no matter the owner’s Break Condition.
