Hi everyone - good to be on board!
Be patient with me as I am not familiar with the setting - I will try to get my bearings as quickly as possible.

His skill in Navigation may be used to modify any roll involving General Navigation, so its applicable to both land and sea.

A reminder of how Usage Dice work:

Example Usage Die starting at 1d8:

At each use, roll 1d8. A result other than a "1" and the device functions normally. If the die result is a "1", the device functions normally but the next time a 1d7 is used. Each "1" reduces the die down the chain until you reach 1d3. Once a "1" is rolled on the 1d3, the device is inert.

Die chain: d8 -> d7 -> d6 -> d5 -> d4-> d3

Thanks for the artifact list.

I've got the Blaster Pistol now at a d4 power roll. I could be wrong but I've been updating my macro as I've gone along.

Silvestri also has the goo food maker at a d8.

I need to add some items into my macro list.

Thanks. I went and found the post where it went down to d4.

I'll add it.

FWIW, I ran a quick simulation on the dice chain, starting at d8. The median number of rolls to exhaust the barrier device is about 31—i.e., we've got a 50/50 chance that it lasts for 31 uses. There's a 75% chance it lasts for at least 24 uses, and a 90% chance we get at least 18 uses.

So I wouldn't worry too much about wearing it out quickly.

I think it's worth at least using it for the first night until we get a better idea of what to expect.

Are you making the usage die roll?
