Equipment Damage and Loss

If a character’s equipment is depleted or lost, certain Abilities may be harder to execute, penalising related Action Rolls by a minimum of –4.

However, if the character’s player can come up with a clever way to use the limited supplies available on-hand (though jury-rigging or by using improvised tools, for example), the AR adjustment may be as low as –2 or –1 (or perhaps negated completely).

In all cases, any well-thought or clever solution to a given challenge should be considered. As a rule of thumb, if a player comes up with a plausible plan, he should be rewarded for his ingenuity with at least a chance of success (however remote that may be).
