[HOE] It's Relic Time, It's Relic Time!!!

["Ray C." <r_a_c_@hotmail.com>]

OK kiddies...  Now, have we all been good little Wasters and killed off a 
few o' them Zombies like you were supposed to???

GOOD!

Now it's time for Unca Ray to tell you about a few of the things floating 
around the Wasted West that you should look out for...
+------------------+
|Los Diablos Horns:|
+------------------+
These hard to come by items have a rather interesting power.  First found 
out about by a Texas Ranger in 1976, when he strapped a set on the front of 
his '66 Lincoln, he found that anything he hit with his car (Which was 
whenever he found he couldn't get a big enough gun), was FUBARed ROYALLY!  
And the car had, at worst, only a small dent.  In the Wasted West, these 
items are highly sought after by Transport Drivers and other idividuals that 
have a tendency to have to smash through gang roadblocks.

Appearance:  A REALLY weird set of horns mounted on the front of a vechicle.

Power:  Any vechicle equiped with a set of these have, in effect, a 
supernatural Ram Plate (See Road Warriors).  This Relic can be combined with 
a Ram Plate for a SERIOUS case of Whoop Ass whenever you hit something!

Taint:  On the bad side, your car develops bad breaks.  Any time you try to 
slow down to prevent hitting something by slamming on the breaks, the car 
accellerates as if you put the hammer down (Full acceleration).
+-------------+
|Cabbie's Cap:|
+-------------+
Cab drivers' cars had to deal with some of the worst conditions on Earth.  
Run for hours, subjected to the whims of the passengers, rarely maintained 
properly...  They had to deal with Hell before the bombs dropped.  However, 
Cabbies were masters of making sure their vechicles worked on a tight 
budget, and were able to scrounge up parts from almost anywhere.  Their 
caps, which are now VERY rare 'cause most of them were in the big cities, 
are impressed with this ability.

Appearance:  A checkered yellow and black cap.

Power:  Adds +2 to any "Scroungin'" roll to find parts to keep a car going.  
It doesn't make it go WELL, but it gets you to a proper mechanic (Or a 
Junker...  Whichever you prefer).

Taint:  The character who continually wears this cap picks up a Habit of 
talkin' to the passengers while driving, apparently not looking at the 
road!!!  There's no minus to drivin' rolls, or Cognition rolls, but the 
passengers don't know that, now do they?
+----------------------+
|The Dice of John Goff:|
+----------------------+
Impressed with the powers of evil, these dice are said to have belonged to a 
person whose main joy in life was watching people squirm as his mental 
trappings attempt to continually confound thier ability to reason out 
problems.  He also didn't mind hearing about them over the Internet, either.

Appearance:  A bunch of Multi-Sided, Multi-Coloured, plastic dice.

Power:  Whenever the holder of the dice have to roll against a PCs roll, 
they use one die type higher.  If one of the Marshal's NPCs are the holder, 
then his group gets to roll at this bonus!

Taint:  Ask Nitro Fergeson what happens when you touch another man's dice.  
OK, now, the person pissed off at him was Bob Herzog.  Got that?  Good.  YOU 
GOT JOHN GOFF ANGRY AT YOU!!!  Need there be a BIGGER taint???
