SW Finding Gear Restricted

These mechanics are for items that are Restricted.

Availability

How available a piece of equipment is depends on two things: its Rarity, and the place where they are being sought from.

Calculate Final Availability

• Find the Rarity of the equipment in question.
• Add in the Rarity Modifier of the location where you are searching for the item.
• Finally, add in a Condition Modifier, as follows:
  • Superior Quality: For an item with the Superior Attachment (1 Hard Point), +2 Rarity, +5000 credits
  • Roughed Up Quality: For an item with permanent Minor damage (add one to all rolls with it), -1 Rarity, 50% of normal cost.
  • Junked Quality: For an item with permanent Moderate damage (add one to all rolls with it), -2 Rarity, 25% of normal cost.
• If the final Rarity is a 1 or less, you can automatically find it, at Brand New condition.
  • If the Availability is 2 or higher, you will need to search for a seller.

Searching for a Seller

• Make a Knowledge (Underworld) check to find the item you are searching for. The Difficulty and Time spent searching depend on the Rarity, as below:

Rarity	Difficulty	Time
0-1	Simple ( – )	One day
2-3	Easy ()	Two days
4-5	Average ()	Four days
6-7	Hard ()	One week
8-9	Daunting ()	One week
10+	Formidable ()	One week

	You find the item, at the normal cost for that item.
+	For each additional success, you may: • Reduce Time of search by one day.
	• Buyer's Market. Reduce base price for item by 5%.
	• Familiar Market. Gain + the next time you search for an item to purchase in this location. • Got the Goods. Get access to one attachment for the item of Rarity no greater than the item rarity, and up to 250cr in value (buy additional times to add +250cr to value)
	• New Friends. Gain a point of Underworld Contact Network appropriate to that location. Seller also begins as Aligned for the purpose of an Impressions check before Negotiation.
	• Seller's Market. Increase base price for item by 10%.
	• Sullied Name. Gain + the next time you search for an item to purchase in this location. • Long and Sour Memory. Whether or not the meet happens, you somehow manage to make an enemy in the area. If you have a Contact Network for Core Worlds, Outer Rim, or Xenology in that area, reduce it by 1. Seller also starts at Opposing for Impressions before a Negotiation check.
	• Sold Out! You have been betrayed, and the meet is actually an ambush by either your enemies or the local law enforcement.

Buying the Item

• Once the item is found, it can simply be purchased at the available price.
• If a character wishes, they may attempt to haggle.

The Meet

• The meeting occurs as agreed upon by the buyer and seller.
• Upon meeting the seller, the buyer (or his representative) must make an Impressions check.
  • If the seller is allowed to choose a meeting advantageous to them, grant one or more to the Impressions check.
  • If the buyer insists on a meeting advantageous to them, it inflicts one or more .
• At the meet, either side may utilize Negotiation
