Kits.

I'm making a character in BL23C and gave him a basic survival kit. The kit didn't give a bonus to survival rolls, it contained an itemized list of contents, each item was on the equipment list and described in its own entry. So basically it was a bundle deal with a small cost discount.

Other kits for things like medical or technological work were abstract in nature, with a cost, weight and bonus for skill use. They were not itemized or described in detail.

So, one kit was fully itemized and described in detail, the others were fairly abstracted.

Which method do you prefer for 'kits' in rpgs? Detailed or abstract? I'd rather use detailed for rpgs, except in cases where detailed items are very impractical. While you could list every pill, inch of suture, bandaid etc in a first aid kit it's kinda impractical.
