Harvesting Moon Dust and New Moon

Rule Type: Homebrew
Similar to Brewing Moonshine, someone with the right amount of time and equipment shouldn’t need to roll to harvest a Moon Dust deposit or New Moon from Lunatics, especially if they have an Experience that is relevant. However, when pressed for time, using inappropriate equipment, or clearly inexperienced the GM should set a Difficulty for the circumstances and require an appropriate Action Roll. When assessing this difficulty harvesting from a source that produces New Moon should be +1 Difficulty compared to a similar situation with Moon Dust. The amount harvested is up to the GM, but here are some general guidelines.

Circumstance Amount Type
Small Natural Deposit (size of a shield) 1d4 Moon Dust
Medium Natural Deposit (size of a person) 2d4 Moon Dust
Large Natural Deposit (size of car) 3d4 Moon Dust
Very Large Natural Deposit (size of a house) 4d4 Moon Dust
Small Lunatic (size of a shield) 1d4 New Moon
Average Sized Lunatic (size of a person) 1d8 New Moon
Large Lunatic (size of a car) 1d12 New Moon
Huge or Larger Lunatic (size of a house) 1d20 New Moon
