FATE Da Cool Shit! Skill: Resources

Special:

• Resources gives you additional wealth stress and consequence slots. At Average (+1) or better, gain a 3-point stress box. At Good (+3) or better, also gain a 4-point stress box. At Superb (+5) or better, also gain a second mild wealth consequence slot.

Overcome: You can use Resources to get yourself out of or past any situation where throwing money at the problem will help, such as committing bribery or acquiring rare and expensive things. Challenges or contests might involve auctions or bidding wars.

Create an Advantage: You might use Resources to grease the wheels and make people more friendly, whether that represents an actual bribe (I SCRATCH YOUR BACK...) or simply buying drinks for people (IN VINO VERITAS). You can also use Resources to declare that you have something you need on hand, or can quickly acquire it, which could give you an aspect representing the object.

Attack: Resources is rarely used to attack - except in the case of financial warfare. Your Resources and the privilege it represents can be rallied in a wealth attack against a target, so long as you can explain how your martial wealth will be spent to diminish your opponent's fortune.

Defend: Resources is your primary defense against wealth attacks. Also refer to Contacts which could become a justifiable defense in certain circumstances.

Example Stunts:

• Money Talks. You can use Resources in place of Rapport in any situation in which the application of wealth greases wheels.
• Savvy Investor. You gain an additional free invocation when you create advantages with Resources, provided you describe a favorable return on an investment you made in a previous play session (not off-screen).
• Trust Fund Baby. Twice per session, you may take a boost representing a windfall or influx of cash.
