I made a post a couple weeks back in the Simple Questions, Simple Answers thread a couple weeks back regarding the use of precision engineered suborned Infrastructure gadgets in a lambda. As I am on mobile, here is a quote of that post.



Sorry for the copy pasta, but I would like some input on this....

I do appreciate that; I'm more going for an in-universe feel with the idea that Goblin Queen can be mistaken for something like the Queen Of Hearts, since a Changeling is adopting a new title...but it's not an actual Entitlement, and it comes with a great deal of trappings that really don't make it worthwhile for a Changeling unless they specifically want it.

My questions were on what was supposed to be Dead On Arrival....

I am confused; what is dead on arrival? Goblin Queens as mistaken for Entitlements? Or Entitlements 2e?

There was a post made by Eremite over a year ago gives another to this subject; this is the relevant part of it to the conversation, but the entire post is very worth a read....

This is more a semantics question, but this is the last paragraph for the Suborned Infrastructure Gadgets;

“Due to the connection to the God-Machine that the sub- orned Infrastructure confers to the hardware of the gadget, hacking into the subroutines used to create it is easier than normal. The player gains a +2 bonus to all rolls to investigate or reverse engineer the gadget. Lambda creation is also easier for the same reason, allowing a +2 bonus to all rolls to create a lambda using a gadget created with suborned Infrastructure. If the demon took the time to precise engineer...

I think that one important thing to note is that while exploited gadgets are a lot more potent when it comes to being security measures, they can themselves be an indicator of where things of import are. After all, they register on aetheric resonance even without having aether in them, so if you line the safe with them, then it’s going to be even easier to figure out where all the juicy gadgets are. Heck, they may outright steal the security measures for themselves.

Embeded gadgets are more subtle with their effects, but they themselves can be a lot more subtle in how they protect...

I was thinking of Terrible Avatar myself, either based around the Demonic form of the person who triggered the trap or the Demon who crafted it. Trip the trap, summon a sentry who will protect the wares.

Those are excellent suggestions though; one could even make an embeded doorknob with The Look, activated when the door it is installed on is closed. Look and gaze at its intricaies until you fall unconscious from exhaustion. I have ideas for Solitary Confinement gadgets already, so the idea of making one defensively is intruiging. Perhaps an obsidian glass door that, if broken or...

Vengeance storylines aren’t cup of tea, really, given I’m not the type to want to default to violence. I like constructing solutions, not blazing trails of devestation. I find violence tends to put you onto more radars than simple respect will, among other, undesireable results. Still, that’s an entirely fair point for those who are interested in having that kind of reputation.

Another idea for a gadgeteer is using the exploit Living Installation, allowing them to install an embeded effect into a Demon’s Cover. It would be a temporary gadget, lasting a just a month, but it’d...
