Rations
One week—seven days—of rations costs two silver pennies for most characters. Aruna require a higher-protein diet, and must pay three silver pennies for a week of rations. Wyrmkind, as obligate carnivores, must pay four silver pennies for a week of rations.
Manna
A handy resource for spellcasters, manna is essentially crystallized Æther. It is sold in shekels—an archaic measurement, even for the Realms, equal to roughly 10.8 grams. Each shekel of manna costs 5 silver pennies.
A spellcaster who has manna on their person can reabsorb the Æther within it. This causes the manna to dissolve to nothingness. The spellcaster need not have the manna in hand, but must have a free hand or a spellcasting focus in hand. As a quick action, they can expend one shekel of manna and gain one point of Æther. No spellcaster can gain more Æther in this manner than their total Spellcasting skill bonus.
Ammunition
Be it arrows, crossbow bolts, atl-atl darts or sling stones, if your character carries a ranged weapon, they will need ammunition for that weapon. Rather than track each individual round, however, Unbound Tales uses a point-based ammunition system. One container of ammunition can hold between three and five points of ammunition, and two such containers can fit in a single inventory slot.
So long as you have even a single point of ammunition available, you are able to make a ranged basic attack with your ranged weapon. This does not cost you any points of ammunition, however. It is assumed that you are recovering the rounds that you can, or replenishing your supply from enemy stocks, or whatever.
