nexus Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 A lovely young Princess in a Fantasy setting has had a curse lain on her by witch. Spurned by her father the king, the foul enchantress has deemd that his daughter shall never know a love. Now, if the princess ever takes a lover (in the physical sense), that person will suffer horrible and fatal misfortune. Now the curse is basically inflicted Unluck (Scads of it) vai a Transform. Should the princess pay for this as a power (She's a PC), or get a Physical Limitation? Technically, she COULD use this to her benefit by seducing someone, but it is not in the character's nature to think along those lines or do so.

MitchellS Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Re: A question of a curse I consider anything the PC has no control over to be a disadvantage. In this case I'd just give the character the a physical limitation [and possibly a reputation] and call it even. If the character starts using it to her advantage then I'd look at making her buy it as a power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike W Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Re: A question of a curse I'd buy as an Independent, Uncontrolled power. If this is a PC, I wouldn't count it against the player's point total since this is more in the nature of a disadvantage, even though it isn't technically built as one.
