Daily Punch 7-3-15 STANK! negative quality for Shadowrun 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Looking over some negative qualities, and I’d like to add another!

STANK!

Bonus: 4 karma per level (1 to 3 levels)

Maybe you just don’t shower after binges on the matrix.  Maybe the dumpster you call home just doesn’t have indoor plumbing.  Or maybe that hippy, dippy mage commune doesn’t have hot water.  Whatever your reason, you just STANK!  It’s in the area, it’s all around you, and it so physically palpable, it hurts!  For each rank you have in this quality, reduce the dice pool of any social tests anyone on your team makes by 1.  People who can’t smell are unaffected.

Reading some Shadowrun books for a review.  One quality inspired me.

Ghost in the Machine

You love you the gear you ride in, even when you’re not there!  Characters with this quality are just that much more with their toys then characters who don’t.  When you are jumped into a drone or vehicle, gain a +1 dice pool modifier to all Pilot Skill tests and increase the vehicles Handling rating by 1.
