Preparation

In most cases, the party will have a chance to prepare before executing a mission. Preparation takes place during Downtime and can grant the party unique advantages and specialized resources that can help make their mission a success, such as stolen uniforms, forged documents, and the like. As with Opportunities, careless work runs the risk of increasing Awareness-- in this case, before the mission has even begun!

You will typically be limited in how much time you are given to prepare for any particular mission. Additionally, most Preparation activities can only grant their benefits once per mission, so it is important to diversify your Preparation methods and take advantage of your party's strengths. Listed below are some examples of common Preparation activities, but your GM will usually allow for additional or custom activities if they link to your character, can reasonably be performed in your current environment, and are relevant to your mission.
