Aberrant

[Rhebeqah]

Hello, I want to use the Hero system with the background from the Aberrant game from White Wolf but as I'm new to the system I'm not sure how to simulate the effects of Taint. I'd appreciate any ideas as to how this could be done. Thanks, Rhebeqah.

Taint is tough. I did it by requiring all Nova characters to take a Phys Lim: Subject to Taint (Infre, Great). When they pushed their powers, they were subjected to a Transformation attack that gave them new physical, psychological limitation, vulnerabilties, etc. You could also lower the cost of new powers by taking additional Disadvantage to offset the cost.

Thanks, those'll be good places to start.
