Mementos

Back to Geist

The Keys of the Underworld are just one type of Memento also called Memento Mori that the character can get. There are two ways to create memento mori, Dark and Light. Dark memento Mori are formed by pounding a screaming wraith into soulsteel along with their Fetter through a craft action or from the remains of their corpus after the ferry. Light Memento Mori are only formed by helping a wraith move on through the Ferry action. The d100 roll determines whether the memento from a ferry is dark or light.

Buying a memento is a level 3 background.

All memento weapons have a damage cap of 7.

All mementos have the durable tag.

One cannot use both the Dark and light versions of a Memento.
