BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Add a new dynastic rule entitled “Devices” as follows:

The statistic “Tinkering” is ignored for purposes of Skirmishes.

Each Valkyrie who owns at least one Einherjar with a Tinkering score of at least +1 (such an Einherjar is referred to as a “Tinkerer”) may attempt to create a Device.  This may be attempted a number of times per week equal to the number of Tinkerers owned by that Valkyrie .  Attempts are made as follows: The Valkyrie rolls, with respect to each Tinkerer, 1DICE12 a number of times equal to the number of points by which the Tinkerer’s Tinkering score exceeds 0.  Each time the result of the roll is exactly 1, the Tinkerer is deemed to have earned one Device point.  (For example, if a Tinkerer with a Tinkering score of +5 may roll 1DICE12 five times, and if the results are 3,4,1,1,10 then the Tinkerer is deemed to have earned two Device points).  If the Tinkerer earns more than zero Device points per attempt to create a Device, then the Valkyrie who owns that Tinkerer shall make a story post reporting that the Tinkerer believes that he or she has created a Device worth the number of Device points earned in the attempt, whereupon the Tinkerer’s Device points are reset at zero.  (Tinkerers may not bank Device points; all Device points earned must be reported the day that they are earned).  The story post may also suggest to the Allfather what the name and the game effects of the Device should be. 

After a Valkyrie posts such a story post, the Allfather shall make a story post reporting that the Tinkerer in question has made a Device and specifying the game effects of the device.  The game effects are within the discretion of the Allfather, however the Allfather is encouraged to consider the number of Device points used to create the Device in assigning game effects. 

A Device is considered to be held by the Tinkerer who made it, unless the Valkyrie owning that Tinkerer specifies that the Device is transferred to another Einherjar owned by that Valkyrie.
