Clockwerke Weapon

Clockwerke Weapons are scripted weapons that debuted at the April 2026 run of Rumor Woods, in a shop called Uvaldov's Pinions and Cogs. They were created by GameMaster Marstreforn. Tier 1 (OTS) - Modularity At tier 1 (as sold in the shop) these armaments have standard (Category B) flares that can be switched between Slash, Piercing, and Crush using TURN while out of combat. The weapon also adds a line to the end of its LOOK description: Tiny brass gears are arranged along the blade of the cleaver, each affixed near a vent aligned with its edge. Angled rods extend from each vent, and a spring-loaded dial is affixed to the cleaver's haft.
