Effect
You can sell worthless or low-quality items at up to 2 Cost Ratings higher than their actual value. The buyer won’t realize the deception for 1d6 hours (or until they use the item, whichever comes first). When they do, their Disposition toward you drops by two steps.
Special
If you sell counterfeit Salt (sand mixed with salt dust), fake ammunition (painted lead), or placebo medicine, the GM should track when the buyer discovers the fraud. This will come back to haunt you.
