RESOURCES TRAIT (POSITIVE EGO TRAIT)
Cost: 2 CP for Level 1; 4 CP for Level ; 6 CP for Level 3, 8 CP for Level 4
You have a measure of money, assets, and/or other wealth, as used in the inner system, hypercorp, and Extropian polities.
At Level 1, you can acquire Minor gear items given the appropriate time frame.
At Level 2, you can acquire Moderate gear items given the appropriate time frame.
At Level 3, you can acquire Major gear items given the appropriate time frame.
At Level 4, you have the capability to make even Rare and Restricted items available (GM discretion).
In most cases, acquiring the gear is simply a matter of exploiting your Resources trait and waiting the proper amount of time, assuming the desired
item is available (Acquiring Gear, p. XX). At the GMs discretion, however, using Resources may require an appropriate Persuade Test (to convince
another party to part ways with the item) or perhaps a Research Test (to find a source).
At Levels 3 and 4, you can use this trait in conjunction with a Flex point for narrative control to immediately acquire Moderate Complexity items.
For example, a character with Resources 3 could expend a point of Flex to reasonably say that they have a Moderate gear item immediately on hand
in their home/vehicle/personal possessions.
Resources can also apply as a modifier for certain tests. For example, if you attempt to bribe a triad goon or use your credit score to arrange a
meeting with a potential business partner, apply a +10 modifier for each level of Resources you possess.
While Resources is an abstract measurement, players and gamemasters should use it as a rough benchmark for a characters personal assets and
lifestyle. A character with Level 1 might have their own cubicle in a beehive hab or a small apartment in a Martian dome or ONeill cylinders working
class areas, and they get around by bike or public transit. A character with Level 2 Resources might have a private residence on a small station or a
condo in a larger hab, as well as a private vehicle to get around. A character with Level 3 could have a large residential complex or multiple homes,
plus one or more vehicles. A Level 4 character is rich and might own a small private hab and even their own shuttle.
Your Resource trait may be affected by events in game. If your home is destroyed or you come across a secret cache of riches, the GM should adjust
your trait level accordingly. You must pay the extra cost in Rez Points if your trait goes up, but you receive an RP credit if your wealth goes down.
In desperate circumstances, you may also intentionally burn your Resources to get something you urgently need (or get it more quickly). This
represents the expenditure of all or major portions of your assets with no hope of reclaiming them and no RP reimbursement. The gamemaster should
reduce your Resources trait level by an amount appropriate to the transaction.
