Tecnological Artifact Condition:
d20: Condition
20: Pristine - The item functions normally and will not require its annual tune up for a full year.
15-19: Working - The item functions normally, but requires a tune up in 1d8 months.
10-14: Busted - The item will not function. With an hour’s work, a tinker can attempt to restore it to Working condition at no cost (repair check 11+). If he fails, the item becomes Burnt Out.
4-9: Burn Out - The item will not function until it receives a tune up (see below).
2-3: Broken - The item will not function and cannot be repaired, but it can be cannibalized to provide the parts necessary to perform a tune up on a similar item. Once cannibalized, the item is Destroyed.
1: Destroyed - Then item will not function and cannot be repaired.
Tune-ups: A tinker can perform a tune-up on a relic item for 20% of the item’s base cost (if you are a tinker, you can do it yourself and parts cost only 10% of base cost). Relics require a tune-up every year. If the annual tune-up is not performed, the item becomes Burnt Out the next time it is activated. A tune-up performed on a Working item always restores it to Pristine condition. When performing a tune-up on a Burnt Out item, the tinker has to make a repair check (11+). If he is successful, the item is restored to Working condition. If he fails, the item becomes Broken.
