| − | 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 — [[User:Revàn|Revàn]]<sup>[[User_talk:Revàn|(Talk)]]</sup> 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. The other option is to say that there's no karma for DD, and that also feels wrong since it's a story beat. I also really like the beat of Jynx suddenly *going faster*. --12:29, 20 May 2021 (EST)

| − | I have decided to opt out of the Impaired Attributes altogether, mostly so I could fit a tail in the build. Think Nightcrawler aesthetic for the tail; I'm imagining it syncs up with Jynx's moods (twitching when anxious, drooping when sad, etc.) similar to her hair and skin. Jynx's emotions will be a completely open book.
