Inventory
Players can carry around a wide variety of Items, Power-Ups, Gear and Badges.
Regardless of the size or number of things being carried, all players begin play with 10 Inventory slots, which can each fit an Item, Power-Up, piece of Gear or similarly-sized handheld object.
Items
Items are single-use consumables with a wide variety of effects. Generally, Items require an action to use and are consumed immediately. You don't need to make any special checks, though you can get more out of your Items using Aim, Heal and Crafts.

When used, roll 2d6 to determine this Item's effect.
If the user would receive an Item after use, it must either be used on themselves immediately (as part of the same action) or be wasted as the magic of the Mystery Box fades away.

Effectiveness on enemies can vary depending on their effective FP.
Poison Shroom

When fed to a willing target, they roll 1d6:
- On 1-5, if the user is immune to poison or similar statuses, they heal 10 HP.
Otherwise they're afflicted with a Lingering (1) poison for 3 turns; if they're unable to shrug it off with Steady outright, their current HP is also halved.- On 6, their HP is completely restored, and their status ailments (e.g. Lingering, Stun) are cured.
Why would you want to eat a Poison Shroom? The risk far outweighs the reward. Although, if you get creative, you can find all sorts of uses for weird Items like these.
Power-Ups
Power-Ups are particularly special kinds of consumable Items which provide ongoing effects for a single willing target, similar to Statuses caused by Booster Items.
A character can have one Power-Up active at a time, with new Power-Ups replacing existing Power-Ups immediately.
Power-Ups provide a variety of passive benefits, and can grant modifiers to Techniques or give the user access to entirely new Techniques.
These Technique benefits can't be used simultaneously; you can't use a Power-Up Technique while the Power-Up enhances it, and you can't enhance your Techniques with more than one Power-Up effect.
The magic of a Power-Up doesn't last long! It takes special care to preserve them for future use, requiring a Crafts, Magic or similar check to keep them safe. Typically this requires at least a Great result, though as always, you may be able to get by with less.
Otherwise if they aren't used, a Power-Up will wilt or expire within a few minutes of acquiring it. Some of their magic will last, though, allowing them to be used as ordinary Items.
When purchased in stores, Power-Ups come pre-preserved in special containers – accounting for their higher cost.
Once a Power-Up is used, its Power-Up state lasts as long as its user is able to concentrate, typically ending on its own outside of combat or during breaks between adventure.
Whenever the user takes damage from an attack or is otherwise shaken up, they have to make a Steady check to hold on; on failure, the Power-Up is lost.
Each Steady check made requires a higher Grade of Success than the last check, until the Power-Up is lost.
No matter what, the effects of the Power-Up don't impact this Steady check, either to make it easier or harder.

Power-Ups don't need to be preserved – if you don't want to use one right away, letting it wilt so you can use it as an Item can be a solid strategy. After all, the original games didn't have any Power-Ups!
Gear
Gear are specialised pieces of equipment that provide the user with new Techniques and other significant advantages, both in the field and in combat.
If players request personalised Gear, Craft it themselves or (in the case of Basic Gear) begin play with a Tool Technique, they can even design their own!
Basic Gear
- Doesn't provide bonuses to stats or checks.
- If the Gear was generated through a Tool Technique in character creation, players can begin play with it without spending Coins, and don't design another Technique for the Gear; unfamiliar users only have access to a basic version of that Technique, using the below rules at the GM's discretion.
- Otherwise, this Gear provides the user with a new Technique.
This Technique must cost 0 FP, and can include one Trait as a Tech Default, based on the Gear's primary use (e.g. Tool for weapons, or Aerial for boots).
Regardless of the user's level, only 1 Trait can be used to reduce the Technique's FP cost.- Personal Traits can be added for a cost of 10 Coins each, but checks using those Traits (e.g. Fly) can only score up to a Nice result, and their numerical values (e.g. Resist, HP healed with Immune, Contact damage) are limited to 1.
Super Gear
- Grants either +1 Power (when wielded as a Weapon), +1 Defense (when carried as a Shield or worn as Armour), or +1 to a Stat.
- Adds +1d6 to appropriate checks.
- Grants the user a new Technique using the Gear.
This Technique can include one Trait as a Tech Default, based on the Gear's primary use (e.g. Tool for weapons, or Aerial for boots).
Regardless of the user's level, only 2 Traits can be used to reduce the Technique's FP cost.- Personal Traits can be added for a cost of 25 Coins each, with their numerical values beginning at 1. Checks using those Traits can score up to a Great result, but no higher.
Each numerical effect of a Trait can be enhanced to 2 for another 25 Coins, but no further.
Ultra Gear
- Grants either +2 Power (when wielded as a Weapon), +2 Defense (when carried as a Shield or worn as Armour), or +2 to a Stat.
- Adds +2d6 to appropriate checks.
- Grants the user txo new Techniques using the Gear.
These Techniques can include one Trait as a Tech Default, based on the Gear's primary use (e.g. Tool for weapons, or Aerial for boots).
Regardless of the user's level, only 4 Traits can be used to reduce the Technique's FP cost.- Personal Traits can be added for a further 50 Coins each, with their numerical values values (e.g. Resist, HP healed with Immune, Contact damage) beginning at 1.
Each numerical effect of a Trait can be increased, 1 point at a time, for another 50 Coins.

It has no Techniques, but provides an additional 10 Inventory slots for the holder to use, without occupying an Inventory slot itself.
Items are still relatively easy to locate, even when the sack is full, as they seem to rise up to the top whenever they're needed.
Gear is rare and expensive, but well worth the effort to track down. A good piece of Gear can either supplement your existing skillset or make you more reliable in different fields, giving you more options to work with.
Badges
Badges are a special piece of equipment that take up no space in the inventory.
Instead, a character equips a number of their owned Badges at once. You can equip any number of Badges, but their BP total must be equal to or less than your maximum BP.
Badges enhance your abilities in a variety of ways, often subverting the rules of standard checks and Techniques. Generally you can change your equipped Badges at-will, but during combat and other stressful situations, you're unable to change your equipped Badges – at least, not without a concentrated effort, and how much you can actually change at a time will depend on the circumstances.
