But for future adventures, yeah. Explain what you want, work with the DM to make sure it's okay, and roleplay the acquisition, at least the first couple times, to tie the mechanics to actual events in the story. Then pay GP, and the item's yours.Hm, I realize now I probably should have explicitly split Requisitions and Favors. My original intention was to have Risur requests represent 'requisitions,' and Flint requests represent 'calling in favors.' Now that folks have actually started playing with the rules, I realize that I didn't set those rules up so they work the way I had intended.I'll see if I can get the pdfs revised with an update to this.Each PC should requisition their own items independently, and usually from Risur. If you know that a non-RHC entity has an item you want, you can use your Prestige rating with the appropriate group to request the item. Of course, you need to be an ally of that group to get any help from them.The party can request favors, usually from Flint, like getting police back-up or hiring a ritual mage. Each PC can only request one item of a particular favor rating at a given time. Likewise, the party as a whole can only request one favor of a particular favor rating at a time.As for Diplomacy or Intimdate checks, usually for favors the most charismatic PC will make a request on behalf of the party, unless one PC is trying to do something without the rest of the group knowing about it. For item requisitions, though, each PC normally requests his or her own gear. You can ask a more-Diplomatic/Intimidating teammate to place the request on your behalf, but that counts against one of his own requests that can be active at a time. This is not a spoiler, but in the first adventure you get salary just a few hours before you're sent on a time-sensitive particular mission. There's no time to get uncommon items. More likely you'll just be able to grab common items and one-use things like alchemicals and such.Then between the 1st and 2nd adventure a few months pass, so you've got plenty of time to get pretty much anything you can afford.But during the 2nd adventure, a lot of stuff is going on. That's when Prestige starts to actually matter. So, um, hopefully we'll have the wrinkles in the rules ironed out by the time the adventure is released. By the way, I kinda love the idea of ordering something, then struggling to get paid so you can afford it by the time it arrives. Or maybe even abusing your authority a bit so you can get extra cash (it's for a good cause, though).</blockquote>
