Random grab, an old version:
Rule 1941/3 (Power=1)
Fees
If the Rules associate a non-negative cost, price, charge, or
fee with an action, that action is a fee-based action. If the
specified cost is not an integer, the actual fee is the next
highest integer.
To perform a fee-based action, a Player (the Actor) who is
otherwise permitted to perform the action must announce that e
is performing the action and announce that there is a fee for
that action. Upon said announcement, the action is performed,
the Actor's kudos are decreased by the fee.
[Need to add a 0 trap for over-spending, the old one had 0-trap
mechanics that wouldn't work anymore]
[Note, in this version, you never have to say what the fee is, you just
say "I do X by paying a fee" and the recordkeepor figures out what you
paid].
