Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tukka" data-source="post: 6154307" data-attributes="member: 6668048">Yeah, I also feel that the rules as presented are a bit too stifling. A party with a Yerasol Veteran that requests a level 3 Uncommon magic item on day 1 of the Dying Skyseer won't get it until the adventure is nearly over. It's fine for gearing up between adventures (and might work for Digging for Lies, since there is some travel time worked in there, and the party should have more Prestige by then), but I think it's a bit of a downer for the players to not be able to spend their money on anything interesting until 2-3 levels after they get their stipend, unless the seeded adventure-specific items happen to appeal to them.I haven't formalized an alternate set of rules for my party yet, but I may go with something like this:Favor 0 Requisition any number of Common magic items of the party's tier or lower. (In case the party doesn't want to spend time shopping, or the shops are closed.)Favor 2 Requisition two Uncommon magic items of the party's level or lower. You may substitute one of the Uncommon magic items for up to three consumable items of the party's tier or lower. You may substitute both magic items for one Uncommon magic item up to 4 levels above the party's level. Increase the favor rating by 1 for every 5 non-consumable Uncommon or Rare magic item in the party's possession.Rare items are only available by special dispensation. Special dispensation will usually be granted if the party was responsible for acquiring the item in the first place.I'd probably also let the players "requisition" items from the Family under pretty much the same rules. The Family doesn't buy back items at 100% value, of course, and the RHC will want to know where they got any Uncommon items that they didn't officially requisition or report as evidence.Edit: <a href="http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/zgr/wikis/requisitioning-items" target="_blank">Here</a> are the rules I'm going with the time being, which is slightly less generous than what I've outlined above. Basically, I've reduced the favor level of requisitioning Uncommon items by 1, but increased the favor level of requisitioning paragon tier items by 2, since by then parties should have a goodly amount of Prestige.Basing the system off of Rarity at all may be prove controversial in some circles, but I don't think it's that bad since they updated the rarity of most items. The logic still seems a little inconsistent -- it's not clear whether it's meant to limit powerful access items or complex ones. Iron Armbands of Power are super simple, but powerful... so they're Uncommon?</blockquote>
