Re: Reluctant Killer and Grenades
Ignoring reluctant killer for a moment.
Is there a penalty for attacking a person/location in a trench that you can't see but are aware of? If there is then wouldn't that penalty overwhelm the penalty from reluctant killer regardless of the presence of a victim. In the same way the difficulty for adjusting for speed (yards) can be insignificant when the target is a long way (10s of yards) away.

Re: Reluctant Killer and Grenades
That's a Disadvantage that would likely lead a GM to award few if any points for Reluctant Killer, but otherwise it should work exactly the way you probably are thinking.

But this describes a fictive delusion deliberately constructed to enable duty rather then a real one. For someone who actually believes that everyone outside their circle is a hologram(and presumably that the world is a virtual reality) one can give such things as OPH. It would make him be annoying to anyone he marked as an NPC. If his belief was murderous that could make him a very dangerous person and would probably give him Enemy sooner or later.

*I used the numbers for the US. Other settings will have different populations, which might need adjustment - most of the Middle East outside of Israel has Jews at or below one in 10,000, for -50%, while there are a few countries with Jews at or below one in a million, for -60%; Israel, meanwhile, has Jews at somewhere around 75%, for only -10%. For the world as a whole, Jews are around 1 in 500, which also fits the US -40%.

Merely being reluctant to kill one person and having no other sense of duty seems below the quirk threshold to me. Sense of Duty: My Adventuring Party or other tiny group is -5 points. I think it would take more than your average PC party size to get a whole point. If you're talking about pretty much all of someones monkeysphere, but never strangers, that's probably OK as a Quirk; anonymous goons won't be protected, but you'll be reluctant to use lethal violence even against hated personal foes because you know them.
