Marvelous Optimal Apparel v2
Marvelous Optimal Apparel (MOA) is a special collection of steam marvels that is greater than the sum of its parts. Each MOA is composed of 5 Marvelous Items in 5 different body slots that work in synergy to produce an extra ability. Each Marvelous Item starts at Mark I (Alpha Version) and can be upgraded to Mark V (Epsilon Version) with the proper blueprints, crafting skill roll, and spare parts. Blueprints have a minimal level of experience for a player character to successfully interpret the drafted device. A device built with spare parts has a crafting cost equal to half the base cost and takes one day per 1000gp (just like crafting magic armor). The character must wear all five Marvels to gain the extra ability. The bonus ability has an effective Mark # equal to the lowest Mark # in the collection. The MOA must be connected to a operating steam engine pack to function. All numerical bonuses provided marvels are extraordinary equipment or enhancement bonuses. Crafting a MOA requires crafting each component individually.

Mark III (Delta) Craft DC 21, Blueprint level 10

Mark V (Epsilon) Craft DC 28, Blueprint level 16

The Mark # of "Arc Lightning" is equal to the lowest Mark # of the collection.
