Breaking down High Pain Threshold
How would you price the individual components of this Advantage? I want to create someone that's experienced at dealing with pain, but isn't as inured against it's effects as a true survivor of a harsh lifestyle.

Pain Tolerance Suffer half the usual shock penalties. +1 to avoid knockdown, stunning and physical torture. Make a Will+1 roll to ignore pain outside of combat. I would guess that as costing 5 point. And maybe as a perk: Pain Training Get a +2 on any rolls to ignore pain outside combat. I'm sure someone else will come though with better thought out ideas. It's very late here and the pricing, at least, is probably off. Last edited by lexington; 07-30-2010 at 09:05 PM. |

The "make a roll to avoid pain" could be separated out, I gave one possible example of that. But most of the ways you would end up with tolerance to pain outside of combat result in you being a pretty tough person in a fight too. |

High Pain Threshold doesn't have components. It only does one thing.

Game Geekery: Viewing High Pain Threshold [10] this way: Ignores Shock 4 [4], where Ignores Shock 1-4 [1/level] is a leveled perk that cancels the -1 to -4 to DX a second after you're wounded. Resistant to Physical Effects of Pain (+3) [3], "physical effects of pain" being an Occasional threat and the +3 aiding HT rolls to resist knockdown and such. Resistant to Psychological Effects of Pain (+3) [3], "psychological effects of pain" being an Occasional threat and the +3 aiding Will rolls to resist torture and such. I'd say [Kromm speaking] that you can definitely learn the second one. I suspect that SERE really can teach the third one. I doubt that the two have much to do with one another – I would not have +3 to Will rolls to resist torture that promised to restore that pain I suffered! I also suspect that the first one is largely inborn and unlearnable, as it addresses a reflex and not something that you have time to "tough out" or "will away."
