* Disarm & Shatter: Bows and Crossbows are not necessarily built to withstand strikes from larp weapons, and are potentially a danger if they are knocking into another person. For this reason players are encouraged not to hit a bow or crossbow (and the player wielding it should not attempt to parry with it). For the purposes of using DISARM and SHATTER calls against a bow, strikes against the arm holding the bow count as a strike against the bow. | * Disarm & Shatter: Bows and Crossbows are not necessarily built to withstand strikes from larp weapons, and are potentially a danger if they are knocking into another person.

===== Resources ===== | ===== Resources ===== | ||
It is possible to invest your money into resources. You can only ever successfully manage one resource at a time (unless you have skill which says otherwise). You do not need to use a skill point to acquire a resource, you only need to pay the investment cost. You may only invest in resources at your current or lower level. These resources will rarely be directly useful on adventures (although occasionally they might be), but will usually provide flavour for what you do between adventures and may give you some slight advantages as described below. | It is possible to invest your money into resources.

However, on each adventure you can only draw benefit from the number of resources that your skills grant you. If you own more resources than you can manage, choose the appropriate number of resources that will provide you a benefit for this adventure. You must make this decision at the start of the adventure and cannot change it until your next adventure. | ||
