Could anyone provide clarification for our group on loot (particularly consumable loot) found in a scenario?
Our understanding is that any gear we find in a scenario must be handed over to the Starfinder Society at the end of the scenario. It then becomes available for purchase by player characters with the credits they earn from scenarios, with some benefit to having found it and it being on our chronicle sheets? We can purchase it earlier than we would otherwise be able to given the level of the item?
If we come across consumables (like serums of healing or batteries) and we use those in the scenario, do we have to pay the costs of those items to the Starfinder Society at the end of the scenario?
Example in a recent session was finding some mk.3 healing serums in a cache and having to use one in a fight later, potentially putting the character in significant credits debt which seemed rough!
