Credits and the Resources Merit
It was pointed out that there is a disconnect between the Resources merit and the information contained on this page. For the purposes of making sense, the exchange rate between a dollar (USD or CAD) and a credit is as follows:
1 dollar = 100 credits
So given that, use the following chart determine how much money your character gains from the Resources2 merit:
Resources Rank | Credit Amount | Dollar Amount |
---|---|---|
1 | 500,000 | $5000 |
2 | 5,000,000 | $50,000 |
3 | 50,000,000 | $500,000 |
4 | 500,000,000 | $5,000,000 |
5 | 5,000,000,000 | $50,000,000 |
