Accursed Toys
Accursed Toys is a system based around playing as animated toys. Some fa/tg/uys are trying to make it work in FUDGE at the moment. This page is for putting stuff about the system in.

Example Creatures
Example Characters
Clockwork Dragon
A spark-spewing machination of higher technological mastery than any of the others. Capable of filling its internal reservoir with liquids for storage -- most notably oil, which it can spew in a jet of concentrated flame, one of the strongest attacks any toy can muster, assuming flame damage works in the situation. He's not slow, but he's awkward, given his physique and construction, and may need assistance overcoming certain height-based obstacles. He's far and away the most resilient though, and thus makes for an excellent distraction or endurance fighter: he's completely immune to the elements, and takes a fraction of the damage from cutting, tearing, scratching, and smashing that the others would, due to his thick and shiny shell. His immunities also make him great for crossing obstacles like open flames, and for special battle tactics: he may not take down a rat with his slow arms, but he could grab one and drag it screeching into the fire with him.
Attributes:
- Durability: Great
- Repairability: Poor
- Mobility: Poor
- Strength: Fair
- Dexterity: Mediocre
Gifts:
- Fire immunity,
- Liquid storage + expulsion device
- Half effect from Ripping Poking and Smashing damage
- Flame jet attack
Faults:
- Slow
- Loud
- Climbing difficulty
Clayman
Both faster and stronger than he looks, this incredibly dense fighter has mass going for him. He packs a lethal punch and can swing giant, two-handed tools and weapons if he can take a moment to embed them in his hands for a decent grip. The strongest melee fighter of the five of them, the Clayman is vulnerable (to some degree) to every kind of damage, be it cold or heat, cutting or smashing. But he's also the fastest to heal up: a case of raw clay or putty is lifeblood to this toy, who can pack it on to seal gaping wounds and puncture holes, as well as replace lost limbs or even build new ones. As he packs on more clay, he gets larger and more powerful, ever stronger. His malleable form is versatile and useful in a number of situations, and his flexible limbs keep him at least dextrous enough to clamber over most reasonable obstacles.
Attributes:
- Durability: Fair
- Repairability: Superb
- Mobility: Great
- Strength: Good
- Dexterity: Fair
Gifts:
- Malleable
Faults:
- Vulnerable to smashing damage,
- Dries out if left outside a damp container for more than a day. It only takes 1 hour to recharge.
Marionette
Very solid against crushing attacks, but weak to cutting and hacking, very vulnerable to fire. Best agility and dexterity by far, able to move quickly to places others could never reach and he's at no danger when at an extreme height. His strings allow creative attacks and grapples as well as enabling to climb and rappel. His offensive strength is in grappling, entangling, rapid-fire punches, and throws -- especially from high places. The only one with actual fully-functioning hands, the marionette can wield any tool or weapon with ease.
Attributes:
- Durability: Fair
- Repairability: Fair
- Mobility: Great
- Strength: Mediocre
- Dexterity: Great
Gifts:
- Puppet Strings [Climb anywhere, use for grapples, etc.]
- Developed hands
- Resistant to Smashing damage
Faults:
- Vulnerable to Fire damage
Cloth Poppet
A good all-around character, the poppet has great versatility in his abilities. He can use tools and weapons, store items better than any character, and can use string for self-healing as well as for utility and offense purposes. He can easily modify and improve himself, healing is a breeze, and even if a limb is permanently lost he can just sew himself a new one. He packs a decent punch and can decorate himself with sewing needles, pins, and any other objects he can reasonably affix, for a much deadlier offense. He's almost completely immune to crushing attacks, but weak to cutting and tearing, and fire is his greatest weakness -- he's a walking tinderbox.
Attributes:
- Durability: Mediocre
- Repairability: Great
- Mobility: Good
- Strength: Fair
- Dexterity: Good
Gifts:
- Storage space
- Immune to Poking and Crushing damage
- Sewing repair
- Pincushion [Can poke needles through body for more attacks]
Faults:
- Very vulnerable to fire and ripping damage
Gemmed Idol
Made of metal (or bone, maybe?) and resilient to scratching, heat, etc. while vulnerable to smashing, especially impacts by very hard objects. Decent agility but problems climbing/jumping due to lack of legs. Sharp arms do low base damage, with a high bonus against enemies weak to puncturing or slicing. Magic stones allow for minor mana storage and the casting of some VERY low-mana spells, mostly utility spells and detection, no straight offense. Lenses can focus light to ignite very-flammable objects or drastically heat up a target.
Attributes:
- Durability: Great
- Repairability: Mediocre
- Mobility: Poor
- Strength: Good
- Dexterity: Fair
Gifts:
- Illusion magic,
- Heat objects with Eyes,
- Arms do Ripping damage,
- Half effect from fire and smashing damage,
- No effect from ripping or poking damage
Faults:
- Unable to climb or jump,
- Unable to be repaired,
- Limited mana storage [1 spell per gem; starts with 4 gems]
