Resource levels in Portsmouth.
This is a rule of thumb to get a rough estimate of how comfortably off you are in your unlife if you don't make any concerted effort with your influences to acquire more for yourself. (See also What can be done with influence (1-5) and Resource Levels)
First you work out your influence level using the following multipliers against the number of influence you have in each sphere:-
| area | modifier | area | modifier |
|
bureaucracy |
0.375 |
military |
0.25 |
|
church |
0.25 |
occult |
0.25 |
|
finance |
2 |
police |
0.5 |
|
health |
0.25 |
politics |
1.25 |
|
high society |
1 |
street |
0.125 |
|
industry |
0.75 |
transport |
0.25 |
|
legal |
0.5 |
underworld |
1.5 |
|
media |
0.25 |
university |
0.25 |
total these, then divide by 5 to get your influence level.
If you gain enough influence to move you into the next resource level bracket, then spending 1 months worth of all your influence will allow you to access this…..
Of course that does not mean it is a secure Haven; and you can always access your influences for specifics such as needing extra cash a new car etc.
