Template:Quality

Usage This template helps create a standard display format for custom qualities. Name The name of the quality. ScreenWidthPercentage This is an optional param which tells the box to only take up X% of the area its assigned to. This will default to 30 but might need to be changed to something else if placed within its own table or something. KarmaCost The base cost of the quality in karma (bonus or penalty). Requires Any special requirements that might exist. Description The text associated with the quality. So, if you enter this: {{Quality| |ScreenWidthPercentage=30 (optional, defaults to 30) |Name=Test Quality |KarmaCost=14 |Requires=Requirement |Description=This is some text |}} The template will return the characters current essence/total essence. Test Quality Requires: Requirement Cost: 14 karma This is some text We are taught that written history starts 3400 BC, but you’ve heard the songs from long, long ago and far, far away. There is something dark awaiting at the edges of perception...it has been here before… This quality allows the runner to take the following knowledge skills: The 4th World The Enemy The Scourge Rolling these have different mechanics for glitches. Rolling more ones than hits results in a glitch, rolling any ones and no hits results in a critical glitch. This knowledge is the embodiment of an information hazard. This is information that can doom everyone, but if it is applied correctly perhaps it can be used to save us all...or maybe twist us all to your whims. In addition, buying a rank of these knowledge skills requires a run, coming across an artifact or talking with someone with more knowledge. The only exception is for one rank brought at character creation. Characters exposed to this knowledge can shut their minds to it and can not be forced to take this quality. These knowledge skills may only be taken as interest knowledge skills. They may not be taken as any other type. If you glitch or share this knowledge in a mainstream setting, apply a rank of “An Overwhelming Despair” or “A Terrible Fascination”. The following things can also happen at GM discretion. From least to most severe: -3 Reputation, Astral Protection Society -3 Reputation, Draco Foundation +3 Reputation, <Local Area> Elder God Cultists (This isn’t a good thing) Someone who should overhear, overheard 1 Notoriety and Public Awareness -10 Reputation, Astral Protection Society -10 Reputation, Draco Foundation Wanted Quality from the Astral Protection Society or Draco Foundation An enemy contact, dedicated to removing you as a threat to metahumanity An enemy Elder God cultist who thinks you will unlock the secrets of old before them, which can not stand.
