Fated Creation: How do Toolkits work?

[bryan fischer]

How exactly do toolkits work?

They appear to be general things players get when they choose a pursuit for the first time, but beyond that there's no real information. There's a cost associated with each. Do the characters choose items in their toolkit up to that cost?

Thanks for your help

There are some general description in the Fated Almanac on page 179. 
My group's feelings are that a took kit is kind of a metaphorical "magic bag" that contains whatever might be needed for the skill it was designed for at any given moment. Playing an Academic should never have to get bogged down because you have to stop and make sure you've bought enough slips of paper, or you have a slide rule marked down on your sheet. When you have the Academic Kit, it means you have all of the basic portable tools of you trade at hand.

they are somewhat whimsical in my group, they can ask for anything that would reasonably be in there based on the skill, and I remind them sometimes that they have tools around if they get stuck. you could go down the road of writing whats in it but it seems a lot of effort for little gain.
