| Description: | You owe someone or some organization a debt–and they will call in the marker one day. |
| Gameplay: | Ramifications of a debt vary broadly, but taking on a Debt gives you additional CP to use for Skills. |
Specifics of your debt:
| Level of Debt | CP | Level of Risk | CP | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Information only | -2 | Embarrassment | x0.5 | |
| Supply goods | -4 | Minor legal penalty | x1 | |
| Physical assistance | -8 | Major legal penalty | x2 | |
| Fighting | -10 | Risk of death | x3 |
Manny the local rug merchant lent a significant amount of money to Frieda a while back. He hasn’t come looking to be repaid yet, but he will. Since Frieda doesn’t have the money, and Manny knows it, he’s likely to offer her a “trade”. Basically, she will have to do something for Manny (-8 CP). The GM has decided that he will one day ask her to burn down the tent belonging to his rival, taking all his stock with it. Since the penalty if Frieda is caught would likely involve imprisonment, a major legal penalty (x2 multiplier), accepting this Disability will net Frieda -16 CP (-8 x 2).
Note: Since a debt that involves fighting almost always involves the risk of death, it is almost always a -30 CP Disability.
