If you think of something more convincing, go for it.

"Second Line gear and out of supply" is d4.  Will that plus Quality
suffice?
I'm trying to beat down Feature Creep.

I am not all up on FMA, but a thought occurred to me that I thought I
would
toss out. Does it make sense to apply a die for Quality (equipment,

d8/d4?
