Idea: Equipment availability based on a gangs reputation and Seek Rare/Black Market Trades are a successful Intelligence check.
Intent: increase the value of Reputation outside of more hangers on and encourage the value of mental statistics.
Cons:
potentially encourages WAAC,
Delaque can potentially gain 3d3 rep or more per game.
May be punishing to gangs who haven't had much luck with wins.
Gangs with higher base intelligence have a higher chance of getting better gear early.
More rules to an already cloudy and game full of grey areas.
Pros:
additional option for underdog mechanics,
increases the value of reputation
Gives a reason to spend advances on something other than WS/BS/S/T.
Anyone have any thoughts? Counterpoints, have you tried this and it failed? Does it sound interesting? Or even a simple shut up gothjuice.
