<h2>HOW TO GET NEW ITEMS</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are plenty of occasions for characters to acquire gear and equipment:
|
||
villages and towns will always have one or more stores dedicated to weapons,
|
||
armor, and useful accessories. This doesn’t mean a character can simply walk
|
||
into a shop in the middle of nowhere and expect to purchase a magical
|
||
crossbow, however: while basic weapons, armor, and shields should be
|
||
available in most settlements, rare items should only be found in unique
|
||
stores, hidden within the most dangerous of ruins, guarded by powerful
|
||
monsters or offered as a reward for heroic deeds.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If you are the Game Master, see
|
||
<a href="/books/core/#page-266">page 266</a> for rules and guidelines on how
|
||
to create rare items, as well as several lists of premade items. A list of
|
||
basic items can be found starting on
|
||
<a href="/books/core/#page-130">page 130</a>.

<h2>REWARDS</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are three main ways treasure and magical items can be handled during a
|
||
Fabula Ultima campaign.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When you start playing, you should discuss which of the methods below you
|
||
want to adopt; you can always change your decision later on after a few
|
||
sessions.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3>Methods for Handling Treasure</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Classic.</strong> The GM hands out rewards as they see fit. This
|
||
is probably the most common solution, but it puts a lot of responsibility
|
||
on the GM's shoulders.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Survey.</strong> The Game Master asks everyone about the kind of
|
||
items they'd like their characters to find or use — perhaps the ninja
|
||
would like to wear an intimidating han'nya mask (<a
|
||
href="/books/core/#page-286"
|
||
>page 286</a
|
||
>), or the brawler can't wait to get her hands on a pair of fuel knuckles
|
||
(<a href="/books/core/#page-272">page 272</a>). Using this method, the GM
|
||
has a useful list of items they can pick from when handing out rewards.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Wishlist.</strong> This is an uncommon approach, but it can be
|
||
interesting. Each Player writes a list of items they would like their
|
||
character to find over the course of their career — these can be chosen
|
||
from the lists of rare items in the Game Master chapter, or designed from
|
||
scratch following the guidelines presented there. Then, whenever the group
|
||
finds some kind of treasure or receives a reward, the Players themselves
|
||
can pick from those lists and narrate what the item is — as well as why it
|
||
was there.
