Duct Tape

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

The utilitarian value of a roll of duct tape is hard to overestimate, so of course it has stats in this game. Emergency repairs, improving the grip of a tool or even restraining baddies. Where appropriate, duct tape adds a +1/+2 equipment bonus to some uses of the Crafts skill: like repairing items or rigging weapons (Wits + Crafts). Unless the tape is a very minor component, items repaired or rigged with duct tape only function for a number of uses equal to the successes achieved during the creation or repair process. After that, the tape wears out or breaks. A character restrained by duct tape may break free or slip out by making an extended Stamina + Strength roll, with a -3 penalty, and accumulating success in excess of the tape's Structure = Durability 1 + Size representing the amount of tape used. Each roll represents one turn of struggling. Dramatic failure indicates the character can make no more attempts for the scene.
