Negative characteristic in a package deal

[Benjdragon]

I am trying to create a racial package deal that includes a reduction in a couple of characteriastics. I can add to a characteristic in Powers, but I can't subtract from one. I am building the package as a prefab. then saving it as a package deal.

How can I get this to work?

Characteristic Powers are not the same as Characteristics (for one thing, they are not allowed to be "negative").

If you're looking to create a package deal, make a character, not a prefab, and then Save As Package Deal. For the Characteristic reductions, reduce the values on the Characteristics tab appropriately.

As an alternative Killer Shrike has a great little applet on his web site that creates character templates with adjusted starting and NCM values. It is great for instance for setting up non-human templates like elves, or vulcans.
