| Information only | -2 | Embarrassment | x0.5 | |

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.
