Description	The character receives resources at the start of each event. Like Income, this skill may be bought up to four times; the first two levels cost 4 experience points each, and the third and fourth levels cost 6 and 8 points respectively. The player may specify one very common, common or uncommon alchemy ingredient or crafting material at each level. Players may select the same resource more than once, up to the maximum of four total levels of resources. The resources generated depend on how many times a the player has chosen a given resource. The amount may vary from event to event based on plot or other factors, but the character might typically expect the following: Very Common (e.g. ink, timber, oil) 1 level - 9 units per event 2 levels - 18 units per event Common (e.g. acacia, tin ore, paper (O)) 1 level - 3 units per event 2 levels - 6 units per event 3 levels - 12 units per event Uncommon (e.g. garnet, metal (H), essence of fireweed) 1 level - 1 units per event 2 levels - 2 units per event 3 levels - 4 units per event 4 levels - 8 units per event Note that it is not permitted to choose a very common resource more than twice, or a common resource more than three times. The character’s resources are fixed when chosen and cannot then be changed. Methods may exist in play to change a character’s resources through roleplay, likely at a cost in cost or lost resources. Players are invited to roleplay an in character reason for their income if they wish – they might own a sawmill or silver mine, for instance, or have access to a sacred grove. Example Matthew Fuller has four levels of Resources, representing his prosperous weaving business in Deira. This costs him 22 experience points (4 points each for the first two levels, 6 points for the third level and 8 points for the fourth level). He chooses the common resource Cloth (O) three times, granting him 12 units per event, and the uncommon resource Cloth (H) once, granting him 1 unit per event.
