Masochism

Cost:	-5 CP/level
Description:	You enjoy being hurt. Whenever you have a chance to be hurt, especially in a sexual situation, you will take it.
Gameplay:	You also must make a Will roll (TN=5) to resist starting to eat when offered food. Once you've started eating, you must make a Will roll (TN=4) to stop.

Common situational modifiers that can add or subtract levels to overcome your Gluttony:

• Amount of time since your last meal
• Availability of food and drink
• Conflicting requirements

Bradley has Masochism=3 and Will=5. He enters a new town, and has nothing to do for several hours. It’s been a while since he has indulged his desire, and his hotel is next to a brothel, where he knows he can find someone willing to give him some pain. Because of the current state of affairs, the GM assigns a 2-level penalty to his Masochism (now=5) to avoid going to the brothel. Bradley rolls 5 dice for his Will, and gets 3 Ss, which is 3 fewer than the 6 Ss required to resist the temptation. Bradly is off to the brothel.

After a few hours of happy agony, Bradley realizes that he has a conflicting appointment that it is vital he make. He has to make a Will roll to voluntarily stop the action. Because of the urgent appointment, the GM assigns 1 bonus level to Bradley’s Masochism (now=2) level. This time Bradley rolls badly on his Will roll, only achieving 2 Ss, again fewer than the number required, even though this time he only needed 3 Ss. Bradley ignores the time and his appointment, and instead continues indulging himself.
