Proteus Gauntlet

The right hand of Molt-Defying Plumage is a moonsilver gauntlet that can change its shape into any standard warstrider weapon. Changing the weapon's shape takes a non-rolled dice action and 1 mote. These weapons use statistics for standard warstrider weapons, but can gain the moonsilver material bonuses if properly attuned. Weapons may be made that use ammunition, but only enough for one turn of use. Built into the right leg of the warstrider is a compartment that holds 20 warstrider-scale arrows.

Flight System

Mounted on the back of Molt-Defying Plumage are stationary wings, with feathers fashioned from moonsilver mounted on blue jade. These wings connect to thrusters mounted on various parts of the warstrider, and allow it to fly 150 miles per hour up to a hight of one mile. During combat, flight speed is up to 50 times the wearer's normal movement rate. While in flight, the wings add five successes to rolled dodge attempts and five dice aerial hand-to-hand combat. While in flight, the Speed of kicking becomes -2. If lack of maintenance causes a system in the warstrider to fail, it is always the flight system that fails first.

Commitment: 8

+Built by the First Age lunar [[Iron Monsoon]], ''Molt-Defying Plumage'' is a moonsilver noble warstrider.
-|summary = A portable, fuel-less forge
-|description = Many variations of the unconsuming forge exist, but most feature a framework of sorts, about two yards across, formed from crystal. Generally, a large, downward pointing cyrstal forms the top, with three to five thick spines of crystal growing out and down, much like tines on a stretched umbrella. Where these spines hit the ground, other spines jut out across the floor, connecting a spine with its nearest neighbors. The whole construction gives the impression something like a birdcage with very widely spaced bars.
-An unconsuming forge gets its name from the fact that it does not burn conventional materials to  produce heat, and doesn't produce smoke. Instead, it burns pure essence, fed to it either by an essence wielder, a one dot hearthstone, or a flow siphoned geomantically from a manse.
+== Game Information ==
-First Age artificers usually preferred unconsuming forges for small to medium-size works, because they have the following advantages:

+''Punch'': Speed 3, Accuracy 0, Damage +3L, Defense 1<br>
+''Kick'': Speed -6, Accuracy -1, Damage +5L, Defense -1
-* Portability. Forges typically weigh only a few hundred pounds and are small enough to be maneuvered by a small number of men (or even by one very  strong person). Also, they have no ash of other debris to worry about, so can be changed quickly from fully active to being ready for transport (and vice versa).
+=== Proteus Gauntlet ===
-* Flexibility. Since they don't produce smoke, these forges can be used nearly anywhere, even underwater. Further, they keep their heat confined within their structure, keeping their surroundings and user safe.
-* Control. Those using these forges can tune their temperature very accurately, crucial to  working with certain types of materials. In addition, the forge can get much hotter than conventional forges.
-One mote must be committed to a forge for it to function. For as long as this mote remains committed, a small flame will burn in the forge, allowing it to be fired up to full power any time. When in active use, the forge must be fed eight motes an hour by anyone. Once essence is supplied to the forge, if it is not already lit, it must be ignited. If lit by conventional means, the fire must burn for a full day before it can be completely used. Magical flame, such as the anima of a fire aspect dragon blooded, cuts this period to an hour. A fire elemental or the Ravenous Fire spell can ignite the forge for instant use.
