Assets are special resources you can gain access to. Anything that you might find, win, or lose can be an asset. The most common assets are items of equipment, but intangibles like friendships, social status, or special knowledge can count. You have a set number of starting assets depending on your power level. Advancement or abilities can unlock additional assets. Assets come in tiers from 0 to 3. You always start with 2 tier 0 assets, plus additional assets based on your band power level. If you gain a slot for an asset you gain the asset during your next respite. During play you can acquire any number of assets of any tier. You may also lose assets during play. An asset specifically provided by an ability or evolution is replaced during your next respite if lost.

Favors and Grudges
These assets can be earned or lost through your actions and behavior. Losing a favor usually involves it returned through danger, sacrifice, or the gift of an equal asset (key information may count) from the person or group who owes the favor. A grudge is the opposite, and can counter or be countered by a favor. You can lose a grudge if the person or group would earn an equal favor. You lose a grudge if you accept the target as a friend or lover, and may lose it just by failing to take an opportunity to harm the target. Note that a grudge can be against one target or a group of any size, but the larger the group the more likely you are to meet a member that will make it difficult to keep the grudge.

Coin
Coin is used for buying, selling, and trading. In Shiyan, currency is usually exchanged in copper coins, or sometimes strings of coins or small silver ingots. Treasure is the equivalent of many silver or gold ingots, and often takes the form of paper notes backed up by the issuer's reputation. Coin can be used to acquire assets (especially Equipment) and services during play.
