Bully

Cost:	-5 CP/level
Description:	You delight in pushing others around. Nothing makes you happier than verbally or physically (or both!) intimidating people you see as weaker than yourself.
Gameplay:	You must make a Will roll (TN=4) to resist the urge to pick on other people.

Situational modifiers can add levels when rolling for this Disability. Sample modifiers are:

• Presence of cronies
• Actions of cronies (e.g., “egging on”)
• Apparent degree of helplessness of target

Repercussions for failing your Will roll are:

-Ss	Character’s Action	Onlookers’ Actions
0	None	N/A
1	Tease (nasty)	Ignore behavior (limited)
2	Light physical (push, bump)	Disbelief
3	Medium physical (slap, trip)	Discomfort
4	Threaten with violence	Give way, 25% fetch guard
5	Medium physical (punch, grapple)	Clear area, 50% fetch guard
6	Threaten with weapon	Clear area, 67% fetch guard
7	Armed assault	Clear area, fetch guard

Theresa has Bully=4 and Will=4. She walks into the common room of the Leaky Tun pub and spots the serving girl, who is short, slim, and shy to boot. Theresa has two companions with her, who Theresa also bullies, so they see it as their personal goal to find alternate targets for Theresa to pick on. They spot the serving girl, and immediately make sure Theresa knows about her presence. The GM assigns 2 penalty levels to her Bully level (now=6), due to the actions of Theresa’s companions and the bearing of the serving girl. Theresa rolls 4 dice for Will and gets 3 Ss. She needed 6 Ss, so she failed her roll by 3 Ss. The next time the serving girl passes, Theresa takes the opportunity to trip her. The action makes those who notice Theresa’s behavior uncomfortable. Some of those, if they are very kind-hearted, may say something to Theresa about her behavior.
