Hunter's Armory
"Hell has granted them much: claws, fangs, savagery, and all manner of devilish powers. Providence has provided you with blunted teeth, brittle nails, and a soft body. This has never been a fair fight, tip the odds with as much fire and silver as you can carry."
- Alram Raedler, Scarred Reckoner
Item basics
Once a hunter has been created, they need to be equipped in order to stand a chance in the battles to come. A Rank 1 crew starts with 80 silver for items, or 20 silver per hunter. Any given hunter can equip a single armor item, and up to five additional items of any type
Every item that a hunter uses has an Item Level (IL) which indicates its quality. Many items will add their IL to certain tests a hunter makes (weapons add to Strike or Shoot, talismans add to certain Saves, etc.). Other times, the IL will determine how powerful the effects of the item (potions healing more wounds, bombs inflicting more damage, etc.).
The cost to purchase a given item is equal to a a base silver cost x the IL. All items in this example section are all IL 1, and the cost and benefits are calculated accordingly.
