Intolerance
From Harath Rules
| Cost: | 1 CP/level |
| Description: | You despise people of a certain category (e.g., class, race, gender). |
| Gameplay: | Each level subtracts 2 points from the result of any Chem roll with regard to someone of the category you have Intolerance for. People of that category have the same penalty in regard to you. Other people’s Chem rolls also suffer half the penalty (rounded up) in regard to you. On the off chance that two people with Intolerance for each other’s classes meet each other (ex. a servant who hates rich people meets a rich person who hates servants), use the stronger Intolerance level for both.

Findalorian the elf has Intolerance=4 vs. dwarfs. Since he usually stays in his elven village, the odds him actually meeting a dwarf is terribly low. The GM decides that it would be so rare that the 0.25 multiplier applies, meaning Findalorian gains a single CP for this Disadvangage. On the other hand, if Findalorian lived in a dwarf village, he would be expected to meet dwarfs on a daily basis, giving him a x16 multiplier. This huge Disadvantage nets Findalorian 64 CP. Of course, he will have a -8 penalty assessed against every Chem roll he will have to make. The dwarfs will also have a -8 penalty when they meet Findalorian (unless he meets a dwarf with an Intolerance for elves at a level greater than 4!). Although Findalorian has no Intolerance against humans, any human who has the opportunity to observe the elf’s own extreme prejudice against dwarves will suffer a -4 penalty on their own Chem rolls toward Findalorian.
