Wormhole

(Supernatural Being) Masquarading As A Human Frequently, Major: 15 pts This Social Limitation is intended for modern fantasy campaign worlds where beings of myth and legend are walking among present day humans (such as portrayed in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and In Nomine). It functions similar to Secret Identity in superheroic campaigns. Examples include: Vampire Masquarading As A Human Elf Masquarading As A Human Demon Masquarading As A Human Angel Masquarading As A Human Werewolf Masquarading As A Human

Easy to Read Frequently, Minor: 10 pts|Very Frequently, Minor: 15 pts This Social Limitation is for a character who has difficultly hiding his emotions and intentions from others. It is possible he lacks the ability to control his body language and facal expressions as well as most people or he generates some sort of "vibe" that others pick up on easily. He also suffers a penalty of -1 to -3 with Interaction Skills in appropriate circumstances. At the Frequent level, the character can ocasionally hide his thoughts and feelings with an INT roll at -3. At the Very Frequent level, the character is an open book 24/7.

Excommunicated Frequently, Minor: 10 pts|Frequently, Major: 15 pts This Social Limitation reflects the fact that the leadership of the character's religion have declared him an "infidal," making him a pariah among others who practice that faith. At Minor level, the religion in question is merely a societal or political power issue (like most religions in real life). At Major level, the religion possesses some real supernatural power or enough influence in society as a whole to make the character's life difficult. I'll be back with more soon.

Unregistered "Meta" (Frequently, Major) 11- 15 pts This Social Limitation is only appropriate in campaign worlds where individuals with paranormal abilities are required by law to register with the government. It reflects the fact that the character, for what ever reason, is in violation of said laws. The character may or may not officially be a Wanted Criminal, but any conspicuous use of his abilities will very likely get him in trouble- especially if the media or police are there to witness the "disturbance."

Thanks Emerged, I got it: Mundane Background (Frequently, Minor) 11- 10 pts This disadvantage is only allowed in campaigns where wondrous powers and occurences are the norm. Real-life people are, sadly, quite "mundane," and get no points for it. This Social Limitation reflects a total lack of experience with the occult, the weird, and the alien. The character probably grew up in the middle of an Iowa cornfield, was not visited by aliens during his teen years, believes magic is something done by David Copperfield, and the lastest model of Fords epitomize cutting-edge technology. Naturally, PCs with this disadvantage cannot start the campaign with anything other than normal, mundane skills or equipment appropriate to their general level of technology. Skills like KS: Conspiracy Theories and KS: Occultism are forbidden- the character might read the astrology column in the newspaper, but that's about it. The character may have (hidden) powers but cannot use them as he lacks the skill and experience. He has no idea that he possesses talents beyond the norm, except maybe for the odd dream now and then. This disadvantage must to be bought off or traded in the moment the character becomes "enlightened."

Sounds like a good discription of "Out Of Touch With The Times" but I'm not sure it works for "Mundane Background" as Worldmaker is asking for. I'll dig out my GURPS books and get back to you guys on this one alittle later.

While we're on on the subject of Social Limitations, how about this as an addition to the list: Kidnap Prone (Frequently, Major) 11- 15 pts The definative disadvantage of damsels in distress (and DNPCs in general), this represents some factor that makes the character an especially attractive target for kidnappers. Anytime a senerio involves a villain's plot to kidnap someone, this character will likely be the intended target or will get taken in addition to the intended victim just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. This disadvantage is generally intended for NPCs, a PC should not take it unless the player has been advised of the potential consequences and is willing to roleplay it for all it's worth. If anyone wishes to add to the above, feel free.

What about fallen angels becoming demons like in Jewish and Christian theology?

Question: If he doesn't have a gun (or at least hasn't paid points for one) what's the point of the Concealed Weapon Permit?

Tulsa can only have one? I guess me and Cybernaut will have to do alittle rock-paper-scissors to see who can stay.

Come on Starcorp, there's always room for J Lo.

No Generator anywhere? That's a drag:( Anyway, the reason I was asking is I've got an organization I'm building for my campaigns called SHROUD and I'd like to make the name into an acronym. SHROUD is basically my home-grown version of VIPER though they're a bit more mysterious and enigmatic.

BUMP!!!

Has anyone out there seen an acronym generator for villain organizations? If so, what's the address? Thanks in advance.

I thought it was just because the Stormtroopers really sucked at marksmanship, the whole "Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy" thing.

Speaking of the Global Guardians Master Lists, have they been updated yet? Last time I was there, a huge chunk of the Social Limitations List was still unfinished and the A-Z buttons at the bottom sent you to the wrong lists.

Interresting contruct. If for some reason I as GM were to allow it (at the very least, that should involve one hell of a bribe), Time Dude would run into a large pack of Steven King's Langoliers the first time he entered the Frozen Time "dimension". :eek:

How about Detect Noble/Ignoble intentions?

I'm building a character with a Specific Being Summon that can only summon beings previously captured with a Usable On Others EDM (he zaps them with his Digitizer Gun and stores them in Data Capsules on his belt. Between adventures, he can "edit" his captives' personalities to make them controllable [slavishly Devoted] so long as they remain in his custody).

How about a teenage hero who works as an assistant manager at Burger King in civillain ID?

Re: Not fair You can change that title in your profile control panel any time you wish. I did.

...If your Nova Fireball Attack could destroy the entire known universe with one shot. ...If you have Personal Immunity on the above power. ...If you can grant that Personal Immunity to your DNPC and 7 other people. :D :D
