A complete tag-based gear system for Find Your Fate: BLACK OPS. Tags are cinematic capabilities, not shopping lists. NOW INCLUDES: handler trust and equipment access, intimacy equipment, quirk-related gear, continuity equipment hooks, and cross-references. Non-instructional: no procedural guidance for wrongdoing; focuses on narrative effects and tradeoffs.

  1. #1EQT: Tag Philosophy (Gear as Story Pressure)

    Keys: EQT_CORE, GEAR TAGS, EQUIPMENT TAGS, LOADOUT TAGS, TAG SYSTEM

    Enabled · Selective · Author’s note top · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    GEAR IS NOT INVENTORY — IT'S OPTIONS Tags are narrative permissions that unlock better choices.

    RULES (DEFAULT)

    • Pick 4–7 tags for an Operator (baseline).
    • Each tag is either:
      • UTILITY (always-on capability), or
      • CONSUMABLE (can be 'spent' for a strong effect).

    TAG QUALITY

    • Standard: common kit.
    • Advanced: rare/expensive/regulated.
    • Signature: unique, character-defining.

    HANDLER TRUST AND EQUIPMENT

    • Trust > 4: handler authorizes Advanced tags
    • Trust 2-3: handler requires justification for Advanced tags
    • Trust < 2: handler restricts equipment, provides degraded tags

    INTIMACY EQUIPMENT

    • Some equipment enables intimate moments
    • Some equipment is personal/romantic
    • Equipment can be intimate gift

    QUIRK-RELATED EQUIPMENT

    • VICE equipment: enables coping mechanisms
    • ANCHOR equipment: connected to loved ones
    • TRIGGER equipment: helps manage triggers
    • SECRET equipment: helps protect identity

    CONTINUITY AND EQUIPMENT

    • Signature equipment becomes identity
    • Equipment loss creates SCAR
    • Equipment debt creates obligation
    • Equipment history creates story threads

    NON-INSTRUCTIONAL Tags describe outcomes, not procedures. No step-by-step real-world wrongdoing or tactical instructions.

  2. #2EQT: How Tags Interact With Stats & Proficiencies

    Keys: GROUND AIR SEA, PROFICIENCIES, TAG SYNERGY, TAG + STAT

    Enabled · Selective · Author’s note top · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    TAGS DO THREE THINGS

    1. Unlock an option type (e.g., 'breach', 'scan', 'evade').
    2. Reduce a consequence (e.g., lower HEAT, reduce TIME).
    3. Convert a risky approach into a safer one.

    STAT LINK (SOFT)

    • TACTICS: coordination, decisive action, threat reading.
    • TECH: medical/electronics/scanning/drones.
    • GRIT: endurance, pain tolerance, intimidation.
    • COVER: deception, persuasion, social stealth.
    • REFLEX: shooting, evasion, driving, fast reactions.

    PROFICIENCIES

    • GROUND/AIR/SEA proficiencies add reliability when using vehicle/terrain tags.

    RULE OF THUMB If a tag would solve everything, it becomes:

    • a CONSUMABLE, or
    • causes HEAT/TIME cost, or
    • has a 'drawback' clause.

    HANDLER TRUST INTERACTION

    • Handler may authorize tag use in specific situations
    • Handler may restrict tag use based on mission parameters
