Accessories are worn items other than armor that grants some kind of benefit to the wearer. While some accessories are strictly for show, adventuring accessories provide numerous small effects to their wearer.
Unlike weapons and armor, which only rarely have intrinsic effects and instead require materia to provide greater benefits, accessories always have an intrinsic effect upon the wearer. Similarly, whereas weapons and armor always provide a bonus (to attack and damage rolls, and to AC, respectively), not all accessories provide a bonus to something.
Contents
[hide]Materia and Desynthesis
Accessories, like weapons and armor, can have materia slots.
Because of their intrinsic abilities, accessories can be desynthesized into materia. This process is somewhat involved, taking an hour, and requires a spark of the same Force as the accessory in question. When the process is completed, the item is transformed into a materia that, when slotted into an item of the same type as the original item, allows the new item to behave like the old one.
- Example: Troi is currently wearing assault boots, and comes across a pair of anklets of opportunity in a dungeon. He wants the abilities of both accessories, but can only benefit from one. He returns to town to find a mage that can desynthesize the boots; when that's done, he slots the assault boot materia into the anklets. The anklets with the materia now behave as though the accessory was both the anklets and the boots.
Materia created through desynthesis can be slotted into any item, but has a lower attunement cost when slotted into an item of the same type. Materia created in this fashion have the same Force alignment as the item it was desynthesized from.
The attunement cost of a materia created through desynthesis depends on the item's rarity: if common, 1; if uncommon, 2; if rare, 4. If you slot a materia into an item that is of a different type than the item from which the materia was made, the attunement cost increases by +1.
Bonuses provided by materia do not stack; that is, if you have two materia that grant you an enhancement bonus to your Reflex, only the highest bonus applies.
Properties and Powers
Accessories have abilities that come in two forms: properties and powers.
Properties are passive effects that you benefit from while you are wearing the item and it is attuned to you. Properties do not stack: if two properties provide a bonus to the same stat, use the higher bonus.
Powers are active effects that you can activate. Powers come in several varieties.
- At Will: You can use these powers at any time without restriction.
- Encounter: You can use these powers once per encounter, or once every 5 minutes.
- Daily: You can use these powers once per day. Daily powers refresh at sunrise each day.
If an item has multiple at will powers, you can use all of them.
If an item has multiple encounter powers, you can use one of them each encounter or every 5 minutes, regardless of how many powers it has.
If an item has multiple daily powers, you can use one of them each day, regardless of how many powers it has.
