Intolerance

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 Reaction 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 Reaction 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 (for example, a servant who hates rich people meets a rich person who hates servants), use the stronger Intolerance level for both. Note: At any time, the GM may decide that the situation has changing sufficiently to calls for another roll, with modifiers. For instance, if two people really don’t like each other, but are forced to work together for an extended period, during which time they have a chance to observe each other and form a professional respect. The GM may give them another chance to roll a Reaction roll, with positive modifiers.

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

• Personal knowledge of individual
• Recent activity
• Desire to change

Findalorian the elf has Intolerance=4 vs. dwarves. 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 dwarves 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 Reaction roll he will have to make. The dwarves 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 Reaction rolls toward Findalorian.
