Equipment

The Resistance has been busy killing orcs and taking their stuff, and has piles and piles of fine steel equipment, access to hundreds of kobold smiths, and a monthly budget in the million+ range.

PCs created after the start of the game have a basically unlimited budget for basic equipment. They can have any weapon with the Fine and Balanced qualities. They can have any fabric, leather, iron, or steel armor at any DR level they like and the armor can be Fine (but more advanced options are not available). They are limited to 20 meteoric iron arrows or bolts, though, but they can have to 20 of either. Each PC can have up to 16 potions in two potion belts. They can also have any piece of mundane equipment they like.

*Old*
The Resistance initially had a limited amount of metal weapons and other gear but that's mostly no longer relevant.

 20 Obsidian Head arrows or bolts | 3 Steel Large Maces or Hammers

The Resistance has a half dozen or more of these stone or wood weapons: axes (great, long, normal, small, or throwing), batons (normal or short), bolas, boomerangs, cloaks, garrottes, hatchets, jos, knobbed clubs, lariats, light clubs, maces (round or small round), mauls, nets, oars, shields (any size but must be light construction), short batons, staffs (long, quarter, or short), spears, throwing sticks, weighted scarves, whips, and wooden stakes. They similarly have a half dozen or more each of blowpipes, slings, staff slings, and two hundred or more each of blowpipe darts, stone-tipped arrows, stone-tipped crossbow bolts, and sling stones.
The Resistance only has eight sets of armor, made from cloth, leather, hardened leather, bone, horn, or plant materials. Each set is worth $200 or less.
Individual Resistance members have whatever miscellaneous is reasonable and appropriate to their background and the Resistance can provide another 12 non-metallic, TL0 or TL1 items with a total value of $600 and no individual item value more than $100.
\* Reduce skill by one level for a hard weapon or for a weapon group.

\*\* Bolas, Bow, or +1 skill with Crossbows

CP Total
At character creation, total CP should be 200.
