Default Re: NO Cultural Familiarity - pricing

Thanks for all the responses. It seems clear that if I really want to think of this as "No Cultural Familiarity", then the cost should be -1. That was my original way of thinking about it, before I started comparing it with Low Empathy, Shyness, etc.

On the other hand, if I want to represent some deep-seated mental or social trait that is very similar mechanically to "No CF", but that can't be bought off readily (or at all) then I think it will be better to build a separate trait. The fact that I will probably end up with something very similar to "No CF" + "Taboo trait: can't acquire CF", but with radically different cost, is a bit odd at first sight, but maybe just reflects the fact that it ISN'T the same thing!
