Overview

Items are any inanimate objects which could feasibly be in possession of a creature. They can be acquired through trade, crafting, exploration and looting fallen enemies. items are used for a plethora of activities, though the most common usage is likely to be in combat.

Attributes - Basic stats common of all items.

• Value - Base selling price in credits at the dealership. Items found in the world have a value equal to the Time (GM may alter this at their discretion). A crafted item's value is equal to the sum of its components' values, plus the average (rounded to nearest whole number). E.g. Blade (5) + Hilt (3) = Sword (12)


• Durability - An item's maximum durability is equal to its value, and each time the item is damaged, its durability is reduced by one. If it drops to 0, the item becomes unusable. All items return to maximum durability upon returning to the ship, unless they were found on the current mission.


• Weight - Measured in kilograms (kg), it is used to determine the strength required to carry, lift or shift the item. A creature can carry up to 5x their maximum strength (STR) without hinderance. For each 5kg further, their dash distance is reduced by one. If the dash distance is reduced to 0, they cannot carry any more items, and if they try, they fall down.
