| Special Rules cont. |
| StrilkeForce Zero |
Berserker Umm, government agencies don't like to give out of control people access to guns. Not good for PR. No SFO can take this merit. (same goes for Beast within) Child I shouldn't have to even explain this one. No minors work for the SFO. Period. Permanent Wound No agent would be allowed to continue with some type of unexplainable phenomena hindering his performance of his duties. The potential is too dangerous for the team and the agency. Furthermore, a SFO agent couldn't heal something like this daily. Insensitive to Pain Only the team assassin should be looking at this one. Addiction This is one of the fastest ways OUT of the SFO. Like any other government organization, the SFO has strict rules about the use / abuse of drugs and alcohol. Members found as addicts will first be repremanded, then put into treatment. If this fails then they would be dissmissed at the next occurance. Addicts have exploitable flaws. Deranged Yes, you do have to pass a psyhcological examination to be part of a SFO team. Any crazy candidates or ones with major issues would be directed to help. If you want a slightly neurotic agent look more at complusions, rather than full-on insanities. This flaw MAY be gained during RP as the result of something IC. |
| Hunters Hunted & Normal Mortals |
| No major hang-ups here. These characters get the least restrictions on their abilities, however, don't go nuts. If you load a character up with "agressive" Numina (like some of the new Psyhic numina from Sorcerer) don't ask for "Fist of God" on top. For the most part, I'll be reviewing these characters on a one to one basis. |
| ALL |
| With all that said, NO ONE will be allowed to use merits and flaws that are supernaturally specific, like Selective digestion (Vampire), mark of the Wolf (werewolf),Sphere Natural(mage), etc... All of the characters in the DHX chronicle should be fundamentally human. They may possess some unusual abilities, but they aren't the same in nature as the other creatures in the WoD. Only the characters of Hunter:the Reckoning come close to being what these characters should be like. Like that game this setting is about those among us simple "sleepers' who fight the good fight or keep the balance for the rest of us. |
