Item Creation

Items

While items can be found throughout a character's surroundings, and many of these can be used to one's benefits, contrary to what Clue will have you believe, a candlestick is not always the best weapon. Indeed, its probably likely your character carries around items of their own, whether be for offensive, defensive, or other purposes. While your character starts off with some starter items, chances are you'll eventually want to upgrade them or get new equipment entirely. Items do not refer to things like clothing (or at least the unarmored kind) or anything similar that has little effect in the midst of a battle.

Items can be purchased with credits, which is BG's currency that can be earned during threads and events. These credits do not reflect a character's IC wealth, rather they are solely for OOC purposes. Every item has a class, and for those with effects they also have a rank for an effect.


These prices are for a base item, and upon that effects whether they be magical or highly technological can be added. If an item has more than one effect, the base price of the corresponding item rank must be added to the item price along with the price for the effect. Note that minor aesthetic effects do not add additional expenses to an item.


Natural Equipment: Natural equipment refers to something that is an innate part of character, whether it be that they have horns, sharp teeth, or something a little stranger. While all inherently human traits are assumed, these must be listed in a character's appearance and if you wish to use them as weapons or armor they must be an item. Otherwise, they function as any other item.

Ranged Items

While ranged weapons have the same price as normal weapons, they must also have ammunition and ranges. Ammunition is purchased separately to a weapon, and without proper ammunition a weapon will not be able to be effective as it could have been. Self-propelling weapons refer to things thrown or drawn back, while loaded weapons refer to things like guns which have a fixed range.

Self-propelling

Loaded

Small loaded weapons require a single hand to use, such as a handgun, while large loaded weapons require two, such as a sniper rifle.

Ammunition

Standard ammunition prices apply to 6 pieces of ammunition for small weapons, and 10 pieces of ammunition for large weapons. Anything more than this costs extra.

Consumables

Consumables are items such as potions that only have viable effects, and can only be used once per thread. Due to these limitations, they have their own pricing guide. Consumables do refill between threads.
