New Defects

Poor
While the BESM game tends to abstract all issues of money, money (or the lack there-of) is central to the storyline of NieA Under Seven. Much of the pressure felt by characters in the story would simply go away if they didn’t have to worry about money.

1 BP: The character has large occasional expenses that drain all cash reserves (such as college tuition, or high loan payments) and must work hard to ensure meager meals and keep a home.

2 BP: The character is without any financial means and is rarely able to scrape together enough money to eat properly. He or she has to rely on whatever shelter he or she can find.

Shy
The character feels awkward and inept in social situations and must roll Soul stat checks when forced to face crowds and social situations. (The GM should only call for rolls during crucial interactions, such as when the character is being brought face-to-face with a handsome member of the opposite sex, or if he or she is suddenly forced onto a stage before an expectant crowd, just to mention a couple of examples. And even in these cases, the GM should only consider calling for a roll if he or she feels the player isn’t presenting the Shy defect properly while roleplaying.)

If the character with the Shy defect fails the Soul stat check at the beginning of an encounter, the level of the defect determines the penalty applied as follows:

1 BP: The character suffers a –1 penalty to all Stat and Skill checks for the duration of the encounter.

2 BP: The character suffers a –3 penalty to all Stat and Skill checks for the duration of the encounter.
