That's why I always enforce the disads limit, this character definitely isn't worth 6 points ;)

Why impose an artificial disads limit, especially if it's not a PC?
There are characters which have quite a bit of disads and if the concept calls for them to have those disads, then why would you avoid it?

If you gave a player 50 points to spend, with a 25 point disad limit, but the player chooses to only take 5 points of disads would that mean his character would not be worth 50 points?

It's not so much the disad limit, but the combination of disads which has me going ????.

I mean, the Code of Honor restricts just how limiting the Greed, Lecherousness and Overconfidence can be to the character.

Yeah, but it's much more easier to say "max 50% points in disads." Expecially over the net.

Because they are suggest in the rules. A suggestion that I like.

How does Code of Honor restrict those?
A law abiding lecherous greedy overconfident person doesn't seem too outre at all, in fact, that's the standard cliche for any good cop.

Being greedy doesn't mean you're supposed to be a thief.
Being lecherous doesn't mean you're supposed to be a rapist.
As for overconfidence, how does that even have anything to do with lawfulness?

That suggestion is for PCs, not for NPCs.
Besides, how can you have that one eyed, one legged, 25 point pirate cliche, with that type of limit?

For PCs -- to prevent the freak shows. The 50% limit is way too permissive at high point levels.

For NPCs -- what disadvantage limit?

Exactly where did rogue wrote it was an NPC?

It's a [6] character, I'd assume most of those tend to be NPCs.
