Having Resources Chests

Since there are new rules for resource storing in game now and we are in a new place where storing and moving equipment is important, would the powers that be willing to let craftsman make the containers and equipment before game on if they have the resources??

You are taking resources with you?

Well yeah, I am bringing a few bags of resources.

Yep, if so then well I'm sure Kidwynn would have done some crafting of some containers.

Post by **WayneO42** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 2:41 pm

Yes, crafting on containers can be done between events this time and this time ONLY. I cannot stress this part enough. This is a ONE time opportunity. We will also be a little lenient on the physreps used this time as well but containers must be physrepped.

I was checking the lengths of containers I have in my garage and I'm having trouble finding something that is at least 24" on all 3 sides. I have containers that are 36"x20"x20" which larger in volume than a 24"x24"x24" contianer, but does not meet the requirements. Instead of having a minium size requirement can it be based on minium volume requirement. this will allow the PC more freedom on the shape of the containers.

Volume = Length X Width x Height
Volume Requirements
Level 1 - 1cubic foot, 1,728 cubic inches
Level 2 - 8cubic foot, 13,824 cubic inches
Level 3 - 27cubic foot, 46,656 cubic inches
Level 4 - 64cubic foot, 110,592 cubic inches

Also, what does it take to break into a container? We have rules for buildings, but not these containerss.

Also, Have 'Containers' been added to the Starting Equipment list?
Can someone start with a container?
Can I have a 'Chest' to carry Phys-Reps as an Role-playing element, and just not carry resources in it, so as not to need a Crafted-Item?

Its based on the lock. There are no rules for breaking a container. I am not convinced they are needed.

No, but that could be changed. As of right now though, a new player could come in with as many class one containers as they want.

Yep. No problem.

I can get behind that Wayne.

So if you steal a chest which has a lock on it, you need to find a rouge to pick it to gain entrance to it. That would be the only way into the container.

Ok, will this work with in the current rules.
I have 6 level 1 chests. I wrap a chain around the chests and use 1 lock to secure the chain.
The stack of chests could not be moved unless 12 people where used becasue all the chests are locked together with the chain. And the only way to gain access to the chests is to unlock the lock and remove the chains.
Is this legal??

Dont know if its illegal, but it certainly sounds rediculous.

Post by **WayneO42** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 4:25 pm

Thats cheese! Come on. Do we need rules on how to break containers? I am thinking 1 minute count out load.

Todd · Post by **Todd** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 4:37 pm

Its a snowball effect. If you make rules about how long it takes to break a container, youll need rules on how to make better containers.

If you think about it, nearly every movie you have ever seen has tham breaking a lock off of a chest. If it was easier why not smash the chest?
A locked chest is a locked chest. Want in? Unlock it.

I can't figure out how to tie 6 things together with one string of any reasonable size and not be able to slide one chest out... Unless you've got it running through eyeholes and such. Which I'd could see working if the containers had the holes.

2 Chests I could see... That's at least possible with a reasonable sized chain.

I could go with role play it out on the chain thing (give us boyscouts a reason to have all that knot tying skill). If someone can have enough chain (rope) to tie them together securely so that no one box could be removed, then go them. However, if I can walk up and slide one out (and reason stands if one goes they all can) then the idea was fruitless. It'd probably be cheaper to just have seperate locks anyway...

I mean even a chain and lock on one box isn't even remotely secure unless you have the chain turn 90 degrees at some point (ie christmas ribbon type thing) and/or it going through hand holds.
