Call of the Center

You've learned how to get in touch with a call center on a distant corner of the multiverse. The static gives you a wicked headache, though... or maybe it's just the fact they only accept telepathic calls.

Summon one item a day. Multiple attempts increase accuracy.

Noncombat Skill
Cost: 20 PP

When Used

First time each day:

The static between here and the Center is pretty severe, so you can't guarantee you'll get what you ask for. That said, what would you like to ask for when you call in?

or if you are doing X casts

• The Fist and Feet Combo
• The HUD

Depending on how many times you used the skill, you'll get one of the following messages:

You call the Center with your urgent need for new summer fashions. Eventually you run out of minutes... err, brainwaves. It's hard to tell if you got through with all that static.

or

Notes

• PP cost is 20 - S, where S is the number of skill points invested.
• Chances for for getting what you want with one use only are 27.1 ± 6.6%.
• The number of times the word "call" appears in "call and call..." depends on how many times you used the skill, not on a 1:1 ratio though.
