Possessions

Possessions are split in two: Trappings, for what your character owns, and Wealth, for their money. Weapons and armour are trappings too, so they’re in both Trappings and Combat.

Trappings

Trappings lists everything your character owns: first what’s On Person, carried or worn, then what’s kept Elsewhere.

Trappings on an iPhone: the Encumbrance of weapons, armour and trappings, with the total and the maximum, then the trappings carried, each with its Encumbrance.

Containers and places

A backpack, a sack or a pouch is a container: Add and Container. Its contents are listed under it, with how full it is.

To move something, use its Move To button:

You can also drag a row onto a container, or onto On Person or Elsewhere.

Deleting a container leaves its contents where the container was.

Encumbrance

At the top of Trappings, the Encumbrance of your Weapons, Armour and Trappings add up to a Total, shown against your Max. Tap Max to see how it’s worked out.

When you carry more than your limit, the app says what it costs you, and applies it to your Movement and Agility. Coins can count too, if your table wants: switch on Coins Count Toward Encumbrance in Sheet Options or in Wealth.

Coins

Wealth starts with your purse: Gold Crowns, Silver Shillings and Brass Pennies, each with a counter, and their Total.

Wealth on an iPhone: the Coins section with counters for gold, silver and brass, and the total, then Pay and Receive.
The purse.

The counters and Set Coins… change the purse without a word in the history. They’re for corrections. To spend and earn, use Pay and Receive.

Paying and receiving

Type a Price, and pick an Adjustment if you bargained or are selling. The app shows the price in the fewest coins, and your purse after.

Each of these goes into the History, with an optional note. Swipe the latest one and tap Undo to take it back.

Earning

Earn Money… works out what your character earns from their Status, with a Test and a roll, and adds it to your purse.

Assets and debts

Money that isn’t in your purse goes under Assets and Debts: banked, invested, stashed, lent, borrowed or owed. Add Asset or Debt…, then say how much and where or with whom. The Net is worked out for you.
