Weapon Scarcity Database

Hey all!

I clicked the other day that certain weapons (ie, Peacebringers), aren't exactly commonly available. I thought it might be handy to have a quick chart showing the relative scarcity of each weapon for any FM interested, so that it's easier to know whether one kind of pistol is going to be stocked at every single weapons shop, or only just a specialty hunting outfitters, or only in Guild service (with corresponding issues for any non-Guild found carrying it), etc.

The category assignations are my own, based on my interpretations of the fluff in each book, so they're not canon, or even necessarily correct, but hopefully they're about right. I've selected:

"Common", for readily available weapons that probably won't get you stopped by a patrol (standard pistols, shotguns, etc);
"Uncommon", for weapons that are specialist, or archaic, or not usually found in the city and towns, and that might raise a few eyebrows if displayed in town (javelins, archery weapons, pneumatics, collector's weapons, etc);
"Restricted"; weapons that will certainly get the attention of law enforcement (in a bad way), are weapons of mass war-struction, or are banned outright by the Guild.

Which is not to say that I'm trying to imply that Fated can't have these weapons, but I just wanted to make it easier on myself to know which weapons probably ought to be justified a little more than "I walk into the Gun Shop and buy it", and should bring a little harassment from law enforcement (Guild or Union patrols, mostly), if worn openly. Like one of my Fated's openly-worn Fighting Claws, and the other one's Peacebringer...  😉
