Equipment - Other

Charges

Equipment Packs have a limited number of Charges, typically 3 to 5, given when the Pack is purchased, and these charges are spent each time an item is retrieved. Certain items may cost more than one charge. Charges are written like Pack[5], where the pack has 5 charges.

Charges are restored whenever the Character is able to resupply (such as in a Settlement) or when the GM permits.
Items may not be returned to the Pack to restore charges, but they may be stored in the Pack to be used again later.

— Equipment Pack Examples:

Healing Kits are treated like other Equipment Packs. They have limited charges and are restored when appropriate.

Examples of Profession Kits:

• Cooking Gear
• Calligraphy Kit

• Tailoring Kit
• Leatherworking Kit

Using Oils

Oils are alchemical mixtures that may be put on weapons to affect their damage. Certain oils may also be put into Bombs in order to affect the damage type. It takes a Double Action to apply Oils to a weapon.

Using Bombs

Bombs have a Close Range when throwing and deal damage based on how close the enemy is to the detonation.

Bombs are treated like throwing weapons for the purpose of hitting their target. A Success means the bomb detonates on the floor near the target. Partial Success may involve the bomb exploding off target, chosen by the GM. With Failure, the GM might choose a new target. Bombs are typically targeted at the ground, but a Great Success might be a direct hit on the target.

When a bomb strikes a target or a surface, it deals the effect in the given Radius, affecting both friends and foe.

Most bombs deal D damage, with a1 for closer targets, and a2 for direct hits.

Using Potions

Potions are typically contained in small vials that may be quickly drunk. Grabbing, opening, and drinking a potion may be done within a Single Action. However, more actions may be required if the potion is not easily retrieved. Retrieving a Potion from a normal pack may take a number of Actions, but Potion Equipment Packs are designed to be easily accessible.

Potion effects typically come into effect after the current turn, but may be instantaneous if you wish. As with most rules, this should be agreed upon with other players. Any Damage, Fatigue, or Weakness will return after the Potion effects have worn off.

Using Poisons

Poisons may be applied to weapons or swallowed by a target, such as within their food or water. Effects from poisons take place immediately upon the start of the target's turn. Targets must roll on the Affliction Table.

Poisons will remain applied to weapons for a Medium Duration and typically take a Double Action to apply.

Some creatures are immune to poison damage and effects.

Finance points represent larger chunks of money. A particularly lucrative job would grant finance points to represent the higher payout. This might not be a larger payment of coin, but could be a favour from a noble or an item of value. Similarly, rare or valuable items that are found may be recorded as finance points. This helps to simplify the finance of the group.

Finance Points may be paid to the group and split, or paid to each player individually.

Spending finance points can be done in a number of ways. While maintaining your gear might be covered by the regular income/expenditure that is overlooked, purchasing new or better gear might require one or more finance points. Loss of certain valuable resources might also require a finance point to replenish, as might fines or other levies charged upon the party. A drought of work or a particularly expensive area might require a finance point to represent the reduced income or increased expenditure.

Most equipment will cost 1 or 2 Finance Points, though this may go up if resources are rare in an area.

Travel will usually cost a certain amount of finance points to travel a certain distance, depending on terrain or weather or other factors. This will include required gear and food, as well as regular tolls and ferries as required, or lodgings if possible. Staying in an inn might not cost additional finance points, but might reduce the distance travelled or add delays to the journey. More expensive inns or ferries might cost additional finance points, and there may be shortcuts along toll-roads that might require additional costs or avoidance of the toll. Travel with a caravan or other convoy, as well as boats or other transports might also cost finance points, depending on the method, but would grant other benefits such as security or speed.
