Re: [HOE] gizmo? Spirits

<snip.>
i like this idea and i feel the need to create some kind of browser spirit
for junkers

how about:
standard aquisition/advancemaent rules but no two items can be the same or
have the same purpose

Gizmo spirit
<these browsers once inhabited the creations of mad scientists the world
over>
White
the junker gets +4 on any roll as long as it has an unconventional outcome.
E.G. knowing exactly which panel will stop the door from opening but it also
stops the bridge from working
Red
for one hour the junker understands perfectly any device but is unable to
write or record any notes to allow him to replicate it in any way (add +2 to
the relibility for one hour)
Blue
the junker is granted inspirational guidance by the browser and can create
devices impossible by modern physics however the device functions for 10
minutes and then dissapears from this time stream
Legend
as blue but the device lasts for twentyfour hours

just  an idea, thoughts welcome
