Custom Merits

Luxury ( • – •••••)

Created by Nomad

Prerequisites: Resources •••••

Fluff: You are bordering on disgustingly rich, for many people there’s an upper limit on what they can purchase in a month. You have, through diligent investments and knowledge of how others view the power of money, ensured you’ll never want for anything again.

Mechanics:  Due to the sheer level of financial capability you have, you’ve gained some fiscally overwhelming benefits.

• Gain Social Benefits from Equipment equal to Luxury rating divided by 2 rounded up.  This can go beyond the Equipment max of 5
• Increasing this Merit increases your disposable Wealth, while you cannot have Resources beyond 5, you can improve your buying power (1 dot increases your unlimited purchases from 3 to 4, 3 dots increases your unlimited purchases from 4 to 5, 5 dots allows you to make one purchase a month beyond your resources rating without effectively lowering your Resources for the month.
• Once per Session, if you exceptionally succeed on a social maneuvering roll, while using your wealth as an appropriate leverage (proper clothing for situation, bribery, etc) and the defender loses, you immediately open Doors equal to Luxury rating.
