Inventory

Inventory

Inventory is kept light. Only what is declared and tracked exists.

Possession is explicit. If it has not been stated that a character is carrying an item, the character does not have it. No retroactive additions once a scene has begun.

At character creation, only named items that already make sense for the concept are listed. No free supply packs. Everything else is filled in play.

Tracked elements

Element	Details
Armour	None / Light / Heavy. Only counts when donned. Feeds Harm protection ratios.
Food	Days remaining. Interacts with Exertion rest awards and Harm recovery.
Water	Days remaining. Same interactions as food.
Named items	Distinctive or important objects only.

Ordinary incidental gear is not listed.

Management

All changes (add, remove, alter armour, food, water, or named items) go through automation:

1. Player requests the change
2. Storyteller approves
3. Automation executes

Same approval process as Hierarchy Diagram moves.

---

Restock

Dedicated automation commands exist only for:

• Food (days)
• Water (days)

All other resupply (arrows, herbs, bandages, materials, etc.) is pure roleplay. The Storyteller decides what the situation allows. Bandages and herbs matter narratively for Harm recovery even when not line-items.

Load and transport

Encumbrance is not tracked.
Whether something can reasonably be carried, hauled, or stored is decided by context and roleplay. Animals, carts, caches, and storage locations remain pure fiction.

If you did not say you brought it, you do not have it.

Ambush on the ridge. A player wants a bow for the shot. Neither the sheet nor any earlier fiction said they carried one.

1. Scene starts: no bow on the sheet, none declared → they do not have a bow.
2. Cannot invent it mid-scene.
3. After taking one in play: player requests the named item → Storyteller approves → sheet updates.
