X (Special)
Extra action “ready an improvised weapon”
Exhaust this Gift. If you’re within 1 pace of an improvised weapon, you may ready it as an extra action. If there is no obvious improvised weapon around, you may pick up something, like a shoe or a rock, or your belt, etc. that becomes an Improvised Weapon. (Mostly likely either a good-handed, Damage +2 Weak weapon ... or a thrown Damage +1 weak weapon.)

Trigger: start of your turn Speed & Searching vs. 3
Extra action: “refresh Improvised Fighting”
At the start of your turn, you may attempt a roll of Speed & Searching vs. 3. If you score one success or more, you may take an extra action: a refresh action, but only to refresh this Gift of Improvised Fighting.
The standard rule of “never the same action twice in the same turn” still applies.

Trigger: you are holding a one-handed Improvised Weapon in your good hand
Action “thrown smash attack”
You may throw a one-handed improvised weapon at someone within Short Range. It doesn’t matter if the weapon can normally be thrown or not.
Roll your Body, Mind, Searching, and Throwing vs. the target’s defense. (If you have Strength, include that, too.) If you hit, you cause Damage flat 3 Weak, regardless of what you just threw at them. The improvised weapon you throw at the target shatters and becomes useless.

Trigger: you are holding a two-handed Improvised Weapon
Action “two-handed melee smash attack”
Are you using a two-handed Improvised Weapon in both hands?
Declare you will make a melee smash attack. Roll your Body, Mind, Melee Combat and Searching vs. the target’s defense. (If you have Strength, include that, too.) If you hit, you cause Damage flat 4 Weak. The improvised weapon shatters and becomes useless.
