\begin{basicmove}{Gadget Belt}
  You have a Gadget Belt containing 3 Arcane Gadgets. All Gadgets are
  \weight{1} and have a Range tag, if appropriate. For each Gadget you
  own, pick one from each list:

  \begin{itemize}
  \item \textit{Electrical, Magnetic, Cryogenic, Ectoplasmic, Steam,
      Pyromatic, Clockwork, Alchemic}
  \item \textit{Beam, Propulsion, Emitter, Field, Shielding, Defuser,
      Amplification, Explosion, Reversal}
  \item \textit{Glove, Torch, Device, Belt, Flasks, Goggles, Rod,
      Cannon, Boots, Golem, Trinkets, Suit}
  \item \textit{piercing 2, porceful, +2 armor vs \blank, alternate
      movement (\blank), elemental (\blank)}
  \end{itemize}

  When you \condition{take a short break to recharge and fine-tune
    your Gadgets}, set your Charge to 3. This Charge is used to power
  your Gadgets.

  When you \condition{use one of your Gadgets as a Weapon}, you can
  spend 1-Charge to roll +INT instead of +STR or +DEX. When you use
  one of your Gadgets to Volley, if you would mark ammo, spend
  1-Charge instead.

  When you have less than three gadgets or want to replace one of your
  existing gadgets for any reason, you can make a replacement by
  spending a day or so in a workshop.
\end{basicmove}

\begin{basicmove}{Field Test (INT)}
  When you \condition{use one of your Gadgets to get out of a tight
    spot}, describe what it does and roll +INT. \onHit, it works as
  expected, but choose 1. \onPartial, choose 2 instead:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item The Gadget's effects won't last long - you'll need to hurry to
    take advantage of it.
  \item The Gadget draws unwanted attention or puts someone in a spot.
  \item The Gadget is damaged. You can repair it, but it will take
    some time and concentration.
  \item The Gadget drains your reserves---spend 1 Charge.
\end{itemize}

\end{basicmove}


\begin{basicmove}{Jury-Rig (INT)}
  When you \condition{quickly fix, repurpose, or fabricate a device on
    the spot}, describe what you're doing with it and roll
  +INT. \onSuccess, it'll hold together just as long as you need it
  to.  \onPartial, choose one:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item It'll work, but not for long. You'll need to hurry to take
    advantage of it.
  \item It works, but there's a weird quirk or complication to it.
  \item It'll work, but it needs some juice. Spend 1 Charge.
  \end{itemize}
\end{basicmove}


\begin{basicmove}{Let Me See That}
  When you \condition{take a few moments to handle or examine
    something interesting}, ask the GM two of the following
  questions. The GM must answer truthfully.
  \begin{itemize}
  \item What does this do?
  \item Who made this?
  \item What’s wrong with this, and how might I fix it?
  \item What has been done most recently with this, or to this?
  \end{itemize}
\end{basicmove}
