One idea:

Gawl Durn it People Like Me
Take any combination of 1-4 reaction mods you want totalling 10 points or less as a perk. Reaction bonuses beyond this core package cost double normal, penalties beyond this compensate at half. (Rxn issues that are secondary effects of traits like talents may be ignored.)

Blatant, blatant, game engineering here.

Goals:
1. Social rxn complexes given a ceiling on complexity for ease of GMing.
2. On average, PCs will be likeable, not outcasts.
3. Rewards social specialization - so each PC can have a group that *they* talk to.
