Toying around with the Tables in the back of Run Faster

93 Nuyen (would have liked to hit an even 100)

Gear:
. . Book of Matches (10 Starting) (10)
. . Cheap Ink Pen (Clicker Style)
. . Disposable gloves
. . Flashlight
. . High Quality Multi-Tool
. . One Liter of Gasoline
. . One-liter canteen
. . Pack of Cigarettes (20)
. . Plastic Restraints x10
. . Roll of Duct Tape
. . Sandwich bags (10) (10)
. . Ten pieces of chewing gum (10)
. . Tube of Epoxy
Weapons:
. . Ball Bearing x25 [Acc 0, DV –, AP –]

Generically handy stuff for a troublemaker on the go.... and then Ball Bearings?  in my head I'm seeing them as a deterrent for being followed, being chased down a set of stairs leave a fun little surprise around a corner on a landing.

Edit: Kind of settled on a can of spray paint and 2 condoms to round out the last 7 nuyen no official price on condoms but i figured disposable glove was a reasonable re-purpose.

I really like things like this on characters.
There's always one PC who just can't go with the flow.  They have to have something that sets them apart.  Something blatantly obvious to everyone who plays with them.

Are ink pens and gasoline that common to have around anymore? I would think that 90% of people in 2072 don't even know how to write. It's all in the Matrix, man.

Perhaps not for corporate neighbourhoods, but outside the arcologies and enclaves, in the kinds of places where you can find trolls with actual books? Yeah.

These strike me as "random shit you'd have in your car".  Which I like.  I'd add in a Can of Spray Paint (5¥), four disposable lighters (1¥) and a thin washcloth (1¥).

Jeeze.  It would almost sound stupid until you realize we're talking about an immortal elf clown sword fighting a dragon ghost in a mall.

I wish I knew.  5th has no stats.  I believe Arsenal from 4e had molotovs, but I don't remember how much they did.  Shame, because a character I had made use of them semi-regularly.
