Spyder Revenant

So looting the dead especially in the quarantine zone is a great way to catch a disease like tuberculosis.

They are effectively fate master characters that the fated barrow.

I think you see the most use of these immutos is in the creation of spell manifested powers.  On my current character for one of his Mage manifested powers, I used reduce AP cost to make it a (0) action with a final TN equal to my casting stat, so it goes off even with a Black Joker.  The magia is Telekinetic Move.  Pretty much it is used to allow me to use my Intellect for combat, but requires that action to activate.

I would suggest for Twin Bolt using the effect for the Paired Weapons talent as bows are two handed and thus will never be used as paired weapons.

 On top if those listed Oxford method allows you to spread your ap cost over 2 turns..

If you have access to it, the Fatemaster's Almanac has some locations as well as Lynch's Honey Pot is located in the Little Kingdom.  Ideas for you Mahjong parlor, rare spice shop, tattoo parlor, curio shop, noodle stand, House of Blue Leaves complete with Vickie's fighting against 88 masked Yakuza. 

Considering making a Palanquin version as well. 

So for my first construct I will be making what I have dubbed the House Crab.  Lafayette has an Artefacting of 5, Engineering of 3 and Construct Specialist of Acrobatics. It is designed to carry a small cottage sized house.

Cottage "Crab"
Minion, Construct

Might          5    Intellect     -5
Grace          0    Charm      -5
Speed          5    Cunning    -5
Resilience     5    Tenacity    -5

Defense        7    Walk        7
  Armor        +2    Charge        9
Willpower     5    Initiative    5
Wounds        10    Height        4

Skills:
   Acrobatics 3, Athletics 3, Centering 3, Pneumatics 3, Stealth 2

Attacks:
   (1) Trample 
    AV: 8(13) Rng: 4 DMG: 3/5/6

Build Cost: 152 (does not include house)

Personally, I feel what you are wanting for this is more of a Magia that is adjust by the duration immuto.

Has anyone worked up a price list for the constructs in the bestiary such as the Hunter?  Also any interesting player made designs?

For small games, our table usually does a standard duel flip for low stakes. For high stakes game, our FM uses and ongoing duel with rules to reflect the stakes of the game.  If you are looking to throw a slight curve ball at the group look up  some Asian games like Heaven and Earth.

I would say defenders duel total. The spell TN is just an additional number you need to beat (as well as defenders total) in order for the spell to go off at all.

This is correct.  The casting tn is a second requirement for success.  Other than that it works just like a normal attack duel.

Can an Invested character build themselves a new body and is there a way to improve already existing constructs?

What "accuracy modifier phase" and "Flip Card" phase?  Edit:  Curse the book for lacking an index, I found those steps.  But, still...

Fistload says you get to ignore one  on the damage flip.  If that  canceled out a  you've hardly managed to ignore it.    So it has to be applied in the Determine Accuracy modifiers step, since you know the final modifier at the end of that step.

 

 

I think what is being asked is if you have Fistload and Brutal on the same weapon which would apply first?  In one instance, you get a neutral and the other a positive twist.

As the Augmented does not lose their bonuses from their Pneumatic limbs when they gain Construct, what about Invested who still retain Living?  Is their only means of upgrading the Invested general talents?
