Four craft playtest — Anchor, Refiner, Rigger, Fitter¶

Status: playable browser design proposal, 2026-10-19. Version craft-lab-2.0.0. These are combat prototypes, not canon rulings or a campaign balance commitment.

Play the four crafts.

Why these four¶

Each craft owns a different decision: Anchor stores and spends protection, Refiner prepares and consumes mixtures, Rigger builds and exploits connections, and Fitter assembles and operates equipment. Refiner replaces Switchwright; routing and wiring now belong to Rigger. Old Switchwright page links select Refiner.

The basis remains the original proposal, mechanics and lore fit, the orders' origins, the Decoupling, and campaign structure. Original Spire occupations provide plausible ancestors for these surviving trades. This does not add a new order or change House canon. Rigger does not recover the erased Harbormaster dock-craft.

Craft	Original work → surviving use	Repeated decision	Main playtest risk
Anchor	Stabilize structures and containment → hold failing ground	Preserve assigned protection or spend it on a Strike?	Defensive retention can become too safe.
Refiner	Separate useful material from hazardous output → prepare controlled reactions	Which ingredients, which formula, and what should remain afterward?	Preparation may cost too much against a short-lived enemy.
Rigger	Secure loads and access → connect unstable local overlaps	Add a connection, exploit the current shape, or sever it for damage?	Large components can commit the whole field too easily.
Fitter	Install and maintain machinery → operate portable batteries	Invest in another mount, command a volley, reload, repair, or sacrifice?	Setup can be slow; strong volleys must justify it without erasing ammunition decisions.

Shared rules¶

Start at 85 HP with fourteen technique copies: two of each of seven powers.
Two actions per turn; each equipped copy activates once per turn. Each activation spends an action and a finite charge. The first activation locks equipment and stance.
Four typed technique slots. Only one copy of a named technique may be equipped. Replacement, depletion, and stance incompatibility destroy copies for the fight.
Two stance changes per fight, at most one per turn before acting. Compatible copies stay in their numbered slots. Switching never refills resources.
Draw two into reserve; retain at most two at End turn. Reserve discards may reshuffle. Destroyed copies never return.
Guard is assigned to a named enemy. Only that enemy spends it. Anchor retains according to stance and Density; other crafts retain zero at the next player turn. Enemy Block protects enemy HP.
Strike commits primary intent; Guard/Power commits alternate. Authored secondary effects commit their affected enemies. Existing commitments cannot be overwritten.
Taunt constrains the direct Strike target. Weakness subtracts two from every hit of the next Strike, including its triggered sentry shots, then clears.
Defeat all enemies to win. Lose at zero HP or when no charged Strike remains anywhere in the technique pool. A final-charge killing blow wins before exhaustion. Apparatus and delayed effects do not replace that Strike requirement.

Learning uses three enemies: Hound 60 HP / 8 attack, Wasp 48 / 6, Sentinel 42 / 5. The first five turns share a fixed intent opening across crafts; seed is 42. Pressure uses four enemies with varied intents, allowing larger connection shapes. Initial reserves and supply order support the lessons. Different tutorial lengths are intentional; their remaining HP is not a fair balance ranking. House techniques and run progression are outside this comparison.

Class systems¶

Anchor¶

Brace retains up to Density + 6 assigned Guard per enemy. Vent retains Density and spends up to 6 Guard assigned to a Strike's target for bonus first-hit damage. Density caps at 10. The tutorial now teaches the shared three-enemy encounter, stance destruction, protection conversion, and planning replacement Strikes.

Refiner¶

Each enemy holds up to two distinct persistent coatings: Solvent, Binder, Salts. Duplicates do not stack. Binder reduces its host's attacks by two while present. A formula uses the complete mixture; Distill consumes the selected ingredient, whereas Catalyze consumes everything and adds four reaction damage. An unprepared Controlled Reaction still deals six, without the Catalyze bonus. Precipitate converts coatings into assigned Guard instead of using their formula. Perfect Conversion requires two ingredients, adds six damage, and consumes both even in Distill. Catalyze adds its four as well.

Ingredients	Reaction	Base damage	Other effects
Solvent	Etching flash	8	Strip 4 enemy Block before damage.
Binder	Crystal shell	6	Gain 6 assigned Guard.
Salts	Salt flash	12	None.
Solvent + Salts	Dissolution burst	16	Strip all enemy Block before damage.
Binder + Salts	Bound detonation	12	Prepare 6 delayed damage.
Binder + Solvent	Protective precipitate	8	Strip 6 Block; gain 10 assigned Guard.

Delayed detonation resolves once before enemy responses, spends its prepared damage, and respects enemy Block and existing commitments. A defeated target loses its coatings and pending detonation. Mixtures survive stance changes.

Rigger¶

Mooring Line chooses both endpoints. Wires persist until severed or an endpoint dies; new wires never replace previous ones. Duplicate wires and self-connections are illegal. Damage and debuffs scale with each enemy's number of direct connections; a component-wide effect visits each reachable enemy once, without recursive repeats.

Moor adds two Guard to Threshold Screen per affected enemy and gives Fray two enemy phases. Cross adds two Tension Pulse damage per enemy and gives Fray one phase. Fray reduces attacks by 1 + direct connections. Reapplication keeps the higher strength/duration rather than adding stacks. Expose Joints stores a next-hit bonus of twice each enemy's degree, consumed separately on each enemy. Sever Junction snapshots its hits before removing the target's incident wires. Death removes only that enemy's incident wires.

Four graph shapes have discoverable bonuses. They function immediately; the notebook records discoveries on this browser but grants no unlocks. Pure previews do not save discoveries. Previous restores combat state while preserving learned notebook entries. The tutorial introduces one pattern; Pressure leaves the others for exploration.

Design reference: secret wiring recipes and effects (spoilers)

| Wiring | Shape | Effect | | --- | --- | --- | | Closed Circuit | A triangle anywhere in the connected component. | Fray applied through it gains one enemy phase. | | Tension Line | Exactly four enemies in one three-wire chain. | A Tension Pulse from an endpoint adds six damage at the opposite endpoint. | | Spider Junction | Exactly four enemies, one center and three unconnected spokes. | Sever Junction at the center adds six damage to each spoke. | | Full Lattice | At least four enemies with every pair connected. | Tension Pulse and Sever Junction gain three per hit; Fray gains one phase. Replaces the Circuit bonus. | The rare Full Lattice technique connects every living pair in one paid activation. With only three enemies it forms a Closed Circuit, not the advanced four-enemy wiring.

Fitter¶

Four apparatus mounts are separate from four technique slots. A rack can hold at most three sentries and one of each equipment piece. Installation costs actions and charges; installed apparatus survives technique replacement and stance changes.

Apparatus	Starting resources / effect
Repeater	8 hull, 3 rounds, 5 damage per shot.
Lance	6 hull, 2 rounds, 7 damage per shot.
Recoil Brace	Every actual sentry shot grants two Guard against its target.
Feed Rig	Extend Feed supplies one additional round to every sentry.

Harness improves Rivet Gun to nine damage and triggers the selected loaded sentry. Emplace adds two damage to every Full Battery shot and uses assigned sentry hull to intercept attacks after Guard, in installation order. There is no automatic shot at End turn. Full Battery commands all loaded sentries at the selected target; each firing sentry spends one round and re-aims there. If the target dies, remaining sentries hold fire and keep their rounds and assignment.

Extend Feed reloads every sentry for one round (two with Feed Rig), capped at four. Field Service repairs four hull and changes aim without reloading. Emergency Discharge consumes one selected sentry for 4 + 4 per remaining round, freeing its mount. Destroyed hull loses its remaining ammunition. Supporting equipment has no separate charge pool; its benefits depend on paid shots or paid reloads, so it does not create free combat actions.

Tutorials and presentation¶

All four retain the hands-on tutorial: highlighted controls, nearby explanation and arrow, real activations, Previous, individual response frames, and Take over. Every stance preview names destroyed copies and their lost charges. Reserve prompts preselect one required copy of each named technique.

Refiner's mixture panel shows the current formula. Rigger has a live wiring diagram and discovery notebook. Fitter shows all four mounts, ammunition, hull, and aim. The field guide lists powers, stances, and worked turns executed through the same engine as the tutorial. Selecting blueprints, targets, or reagents costs no action.

Class drives the eventual silhouette: Anchor bracing plates and counterweights, Refiner sealed vessels and extraction tools, Rigger reels and line launchers, Fitter detachable apparatus and ammunition feeds. Stances should change working posture or tool configuration. House marks and trim can share these class models.

Validation¶

Run node --test scripts/test-craft-playtest.mjs and the website production build in src/www-react. Tests cover guide legality, pure/exact previews, shared rules, formulas, delayed reactions, connection scaling and discoveries, finite ammunition, coordinated firing, interception, and stance preservation. Browser QA covers all four guided fights, rewinds, mobile controls, and feedback selection without submitting test feedback.

Judge each craft's repeated decisions before tuning numbers. These longer teaching fights deliberately expose the systems and do not establish equivalent difficulty.
