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 |
