Victorian Resources Merit

The Resources Merit, mechanically speaking, works the same as it does in the World of Darkness Corebook. The only difference lies in the specifics of each dot in the Merit, as follows:

• Scraping By (•): You've generally got a few weeks paid for in a local lodging house, though you don't eat very well. Whatever you own most likely travels with you, including heirlooms and the like. If your assets were liquidated, you'd have about 15 pounds. You make approximately 7 pounds per month.
• Middle Class (••): You have a flat in a terraced building, probably, or a slightly larger place in a worse-off area. Liquidated assets would run you about 300 pounds, and you bring in about 40 pounds per month.
• Bourgeois (•••): You live in a townhouse or detached country home and chances are good that you belong to a social club of some sort, most likely affiliated with your church or neighborhood. If liquidated, your assets would run about 7000 pounds, with an allowance of about 450 pounds a month.
• Well Off (••••): Clearly upper class, you have a lavish townhouse or a sprawling country estate. Liquidated assets would run around 20,000 pounds, and you easily bring in about 4000 pounds a month.
• Tremendously Affluent (•••••): An esteemed landowner with generations of accumulated wealth. You likely have multiple townhouses and estates throughout England and the continent. You are expected to demonstrate your wealth. Liquidated assets would net around a million pounds, and allowance runs 12,000 pounds per month.
