Shielded Resources
Resources that come to a character through Backing of some kind are far more reliable and solid than normal Resources. Where unshielded Resources are based on the character's own wheeling and dealing, making money where he can and generally tending to his own finances, Shielded Resources come to a character through the organization to which he belongs. This may be in the form of a salary, or it may simply reflect investments and income that come about as a result of association with that organization.
A Backing Background can protect up to its rating in Resources. Multiple Backing Backgrounds do not stack; the Resources of that character is simply protected by the best of them.
