Temp Equipment Kits
From Sagataflwiki
This is a temporary repository for ideas and notes pertaining to Equipment Skill Kits, e.g. Lockpicking Kits and Disguise Kits.
Each Kit is for a defined Skill, usually just one, sometimes just one subject of a single Skill, possibly occasionally usable freely for multiple related skills, or able to function as lower-bonus Kit for a few additional skills in addition to its usage for its Main Skill.

The triggered bonus
Add up Dexterity(Manual) and Intelligence, then divide by 4 and round down. This is the number of extra-bonus uses per Moon, with a bonus to a normal roll costing 1 usage, and a bonus to any Task costing 3 usages. (A bonus to a single roll cycle for a Task costs 1 usage.)
For K6+, include one more Attribute in the usage calculation formula. Which one is it depends on the kind of magic used. Artificer uses Will, Divine Blessed Items uses Faith, Endowing uses Psyche. Other kinds of magic may use Perception or Charisma.
As an example, a Divine Blessed Disguise Kit would have a formula of Faith + Intelligence + Manual Dexterity, divided by 4, rounded down.
K6+ items sometimes require the user to do something to trigger the bonus effect, such as say a little prayer, but not always (notably Artificer items do not). K3+, K4+ and K5+ items do not, the decision when to use the bonus is made by the player, not by the character, and what the using character and others percieve is simply that the item seems to be slightly better than the next-lower non-plussed item, e.g. a K4+ Lockpick Kit seems, for those who use it and for those who observe it being used, to be slightly better than a K4 Lockpick Kit but not quite as good as a K5 Lockpick kit.
Unspent bonused usages are lost.
