In “Supplies”, replace “Supplies are defined as the items on the following list, each having a name and optionally an effect:” with:

Supplies are defined as the items on the following list, each having a name, a default Quality Level in parentheses (if applicable) and optionally an effect:

Replace “Hard-Hat:” with:

Hard-Hat (10):

Replace “Crowbar:” with:

Crowbar (10):

Replace “Fibreboard: with:

Fibreboard (10):

Add a “Quality Level’ sub rule before the “Crates” sub rule containing:

Certain items have a Quality Level, or QL, noted in parenthesis after the item’s name. A Quality Level is an integer ranging from 0 to 10. When an item has a QL, that item’s QL is reduced by 1 each time the item’s effect is applied. If an item’s QL falls to 0, it is removed from its slot and ceases to exist.

“items effect is applied” can become controversial. Crowbars would become vaporized pretty quick lol, even without using them.

If I didn’t have the Crowbar, I wouldn’t have the choice to attack or not with a Craction at all in the first place, so the availability of that choice granted via having a Crowbar must be from the application of that item’s effect.

So, every Craction, I’d lose a QL of my crowbar, even if I don’t attack anyone with it, because each Craction, it applies the effect of giving me the option of using a special power.

At least, that’s how I see it.

(And I want Crowbars to be worthwhile items to take, because I have a Hard-Hat, lol)

Seems a bit fiddly for a very slow effect. Would be more interesting to pursue simpler and more generic ways to get rid of items - a tighter inventory limit, or a way to steal things.

I’m curious to apply pressure here to think of a newer solution; weight, maybe, or breaking percentage chances

I wouldn’t mind breaking chances as long as there was one or two uses guaranteed to not break.
