Item Points are an abstraction to allow characters to bring general items with them and determine what they are later.
Any Item that has an Item Point value can be materialised using this method.

The base number of Item Points a character has is: INT + 2

When an item would be drawn using an Inventory action or otherwise, that character can instead subtract a number of Item Points to draw an Item of equal value.
Item Points are replenished when the players leave a dangerous location and then enter a location where they are able to take time to restock.

Item Points weigh 1 Weight each, until materialised.

Items materialised by Item Points cannot be sold or restocking them will cost money.
