-====== Goods & Services ======+======= Goods & Services =======
 There are many things less common for adventuring but common in day to day life, trade or travel. Often Spices, Metals, Wood, and Fabric. Most of these items work as Mundane or Food Crafting parts in a pinch or for making specific items, like a silk cloak or a cheese burger. No parts check is required if your GM agrees the parts are suitable for the task- other times it will provide a bonus or just reduce the required parts check, other times it is merely thematic or for cosmetic items. A hand covered in gold rings may not provide a statistical bonus, but if you're trying to meet with a duke, it's likely better the rags and two weeks of dust from travel. There are many things less common for adventuring but common in day to day life, trade or travel.

 +====== Goods ======
 +Goods are physical items produced, traded, or sold, ranging from basic necessities to luxury products. They are tangible objects that people use, consume, or craft. Goods are things you can hold, trade, or use, from the simplest loaf of bread to the rarest gemstone (Both of those are found in a different section though... How embarrassing!). Their value depends on scarcity, utility, craftsmanship, and desirability, forming the foundation of trade, economy, and daily life.

 +===== Metals =====
 +Metals and Alloys are materials that can be shaped, hammered, melted, or cast to make tools, weapons, armor, buildings, and everyday items. They range from common and soft to rare and super-strong, and some are mixed together to create alloys, which are stronger, harder, or prettier than a single metal.
 +Metals are the raw building blocks; alloys are crafted mixes that improve strength, durability, or appearance. Together, they form the materials for nearly everything man-made, from swords and armor to gates, coins, and machinery.

 +====== Services ======
 +Services are tasks, skills, or labor provided by someone in exchange for payment, usually to make life easier, safer, or more comfortable. Often provided by craftspeople, tradespeople, professionals, or specialists. Services allow individuals to acquire expertise, assistance, or comfort they cannot provide themselves. Prices vary based on skill, rarity, effort, and societal norms, from cheap meals and stabling to expensive legal or magical work.
