Now what to stack with it... Second Skin!?
It probably wont go with a coat. No one has made a proper shawl. And unless you want a briefcase, other armour is gonna stand out. Second skin is probably correct. --MaltaTalk 12:14, 23 March 2021 (EST)

Decaying Dissonance
P. 47 of Data Trails
Granted karma for taking or no?
SURGE
Page 103 in Run Faster. 60 karma (30x2) Theme is "Gnomish and very colourful".
| Positive Quality | Karma |
|---|---|
| Metagenic Logic Improvement | 15 |
| Metagenic Willpower Improvement | 15 |
| Negative Quality | Karma |
| Bioluminescence | 5 |
| Mood Hair | 4 |
| Neoteny | 6 |
| Striking Skin Pigmentation | 4 |
| Impaired Strength | 8 |
| Impaired Body | 8 |
| Total | 30/35 |
Officially, this breaks the rules (against my favour) by taking 5 more negative than positive. A fix would be removing Bioluminescence or Neoteny, but those are important to the theming of the SURGE. On the other hand, while RAW I am totally allowed to take Impaired Strength and Body, they effectively won't limit me and are "free" (it's not like I was ever going to buy Str/Body 6). They do fit in with the Gnome theme however. Basically I want to take more negative than I need with a couple that don't affect me, and taken together they solidify the theme.
So I've taken a look at the relevant rules about this and here are my thoughts:
- While I won't disagree it's thematic, I don't think Impaired Strength and Body, because they won't actually limit you, should be able to count for full value. I wouldn't go as far as saying you can't take them at all, or have it contribute nothing to your Positive/Negative quality balance count, but it feels like you're actually doing 30/19 and that is not something which seems reasonable.
- Taking the two at 1/2 value it'd count as 30/27, which means you need 66 karma to take the SURGE, and then applying the Decaying Dissonance discount would be 41 karma. I am OK with the karma for Decaying Dissonance count discounting the SURGE since the Will/Logic improvement doesn't actually give you the points thereof and you will still need to pay to increase it to whatever your new maximum is.
- I think there are other reasonable combinations but this is the one that seems most reasonable to me and thus is my suggestion — Revàn(Talk) 06:04, 13 April 2021 (EST)
- I think it's wrong to say that someone who paid extra to take penalties that effect them less shouldn't be able to take penalties that effect them less (paying 60 instead of 30 in this case). I also think that Decaying Dissonance is gonna cost 50 in the longrun and therefore should be costed as if it is. So Jynx would pay (30 - 25)*2 karma. --12:29, 20 May 2021 (EST)
