	==== Mission Supplies ====		==== Mission Supplies ====
	Mission Supplies are ~~an abstract resource~~ representing the ~~supplies, wealth~~ and ~~other material resources~~ of ~~a character. Certain traits that give characters access to abilities that require them to expend Supplies~~ to use. ~~There are a few rules governing these:~~		Mission Supplies are the resources representing the limited equipment characters carry on their person to operate various pieces of technology or weapons they possess. The most common and obvious one of these is Ammunition, which is needed to use ranged weapons, but there are several other types.

	* '''~~Most characters start an event with 0 supplies~~''' ~~- the only way to be assigned supplies before an event is to possess certain traits.~~		* The Four types of Mission Supply are;
			** '''Ammunition''' (Used for Guns)
			** '''Explosives''' (Used for Grenades/Saboteur)
			** '''Chems''' (Used for Poisons, Medicae, Needlers)
			** '''Esoterica''' (Used for Rituals and other things)

	* '''~~Characters with traits that give access to mission supplies~~ have ~~FIVE supplies allocated~~ to ~~them, no more~~''', this cannot be ~~increased by taking multiple traits that grant access~~ to ~~the Mission Supplies pool~~.		* '''All characters who have chosen to carry a ranged weapon begin an event with 3 Ammunition for it''' - as this is specifically assigned for their weapon, this initial ammunition cannot be traded or given to others.

	* '''~~Supplies can be traded~~''' ~~- You are free to trade your supplies between each-other~~ or ~~to NPCs - they represent valuable resources that can be equally used as currency as they can be used to fuel various traits~~.		* '''Unless your traits say otherwise''', a character begins an event with 0 Explosives, Chems or Esoterica.

	* '''~~All characters can obtain, use and~~ gain ~~supplies~~''' ~~- supplies can be obtained during uptime play usually from allied NPCs but sometimes stored where they can be taken.~~		* '''If a character selects more than one trait that grants same resource they only gain the benefit of one.'''

	* '''Supplies ~~are not guaranteed~~''' - ~~be careful about having too many traits dependent on Supplies, obtaining them is not necessarily going~~ to be ~~possible on every mission, what you have are precious~~.		* '''Supplies can be traded''' - You are free to trade your supplies between each-other or to NPCs - they represent valuable resources that can be equally used as currency with most individuals.

	* '''~~There are no theft rules in DuD so~~ supplies ~~CANNOT be stolen from other players~~''' - ~~theft rules are just nigh-on-impossible to get right, so we are avoiding dealing with them entirely~~.		* '''All characters can obtain, use and gain supplies''' - supplies can be obtained during uptime play usually from allied NPCs but sometimes stored where they can be taken.

	* '''You should carry physreps for your supplies'''. The form of these physreps is up to you; however, since Supplies can represent a number of different things ~~(ammunition, holy water, grenades, explosives, chemicals)~~ you ~~may wish~~ to ~~represent them with generic boxes or bags rather than ammunition magazines or bottles of liquid~~. There is no minimum size restriction on Supplies physreps.		* '''Supplies are not guaranteed''' - be careful about planning around reliable access to Supplies, obtaining them is not necessarily going to be possible on every mission, what you have is precious.

			* '''There are no theft rules in DuD so supplies should not be stolen from other players''' - theft rules are just nigh-on-impossible to get right, so we are avoiding dealing with them. There are some madnesses that encourage kleptomania however, in these circumstances the supplies go to the game team not the player.

			* '''You should carry physreps for your supplies''' - The form of these physreps is up to you; however, since Supplies can represent a number of different things you should attempt to differentiate between the four types. There is no minimum size restriction on Supplies physreps.
