Object

Objects are tangible, non-living things that can be made, owned, traded or destroyed. They can enable abilities, consume resources, trigger phenomena and shape stories.

Objects are a core material element of worlds. They interact with:

• Characters (who own or interact with them)
• Traits and Abilities (which determine who can use them and how)
• Locations (which define where they are stored or used)
• Phenomena (which they may emit, trigger, or be affected by)

They are distinct from:

• Constructs (which define their underlying principles or technologies)
• Creatures and Characters (which are animate)
• Phenomena (which represent ongoing effects or supernatural features)
