Equipment/Purchases

Purchasing Equipment

Your Resources level represents both your disposable income and your easily-liquidated assets, i.e. the possessions you could sell quickly to get cash.

Staff has floated the idea of making a more fluid system of actual cash amounts for purchases, and monthly money, but that will require code, a lot of data entry, and isn't game-critical. For the time being, these will be the rules for handling equipment purchases.

Monthly Expenditures

Resources 1:	One Cost 1 item per month.
Resources 2:	One Cost 2 item per month / two Cost 1 items.
Resources 3:	One Cost 3 item per month / two Cost 2 items / four Cost 1 items.
Resources 4:	One Cost 4 item per month / two Cost 3 items / four Cost 2 items / eight Cost 1 items.
Resources 5:	One Cost 5 item per month / two Cost 4 items / four Cost 3 items / eight Cost 2 items / sixteen Cost 1 items.

Starting Equipment

All characters may include up to six months' worth of expenditures in the +myjob created upon completing CharGen. These expenditures reflect your previous life purchases, and must be made at your current Resources level.

If you do not have the Resources merit, for purposes of starting equipment, consider yourself Resources 1.
