skill buy lists

These mechanics are for the 3.0 ruleset.

Characters with Skill levels in Criminal Influence, Sailing, and Trade Connections have access to special “buy lists” that they can use while at the Bravado Post Office. Each level of these Skills allow you to purchase one item from the matching skill and level list once per event. If you had a Sailing skill at Master, you could purchase one item off the Basic list, one from the Proficient list, and one from the Master list. Once a purchase is made, the Guide at the Post Office will mark your character sheet. These sales use LOCAL CURRENCY ONLY (Brass) and cannot be made with Trade Notes, other chapter’s currency, or any form of other trade.

During modules and other means, you can acquire “Voucher” cards with a skill and skill level notated on them which allow to acquire one item off the correct list and level without cost. This does not count as your one purchase for the event. You must still have the correct skill at the correct level to use these Vouchers.

The DR:TX team reserves the right to modify these lists, but we will clearly communicate any changes to these lists in advance through social media and our website.

An item listed as [Service] refers to an immediate effect or buff that is applied to your character without requiring an item card.

Criminal Influence

SPECIAL NOTE: While Crystal Candy is still outlawed in the San Saba, the Criminal Network of Bravado has made sure that a stash of the items are now available at the Post Office. If you use the passphrase of the month and show your contract (your character sheet), you can still purchase these items as normal.

Keep in mind that just because you can buy these items from the Post Office doesn’t mean you are exempt from consequences for having these items on you if you get caught by a Law Dog!
