Re: Intracranical Explosive Charge
That's what the Involuntary modifier covers. Fines or jail if you don't do it is an ordinary Duty - it's the more severe consequences (in this case your head explodes) that qualify you for that extra -5 points.

"Involuntary: Your Duty is enforced by threats to you or your loved ones, or is imposed by exotic mind control, a curse, etc." Legally enforceable duties with much less severe consequences are not that. Quote:
Involuntary and Extremely Hazardous are both -5 point adds which explicitly can stack...

Re: Intracranical Explosive Charge
It's still clearly not remotely Hazardous though.

Re: Intracranical Explosive Charge
I'm just trying to come up with an edge case that is clearly non-hazardous but still has a "you die if you fail" clause.

Re: Intracranical Explosive Charge
Ah, sure. That's what I was going for with the cyberpunk corporate scientist. You're probably safer at work than you are on your commute. But trying to quit is suicidal.

Re: Intracranical Explosive Charge
I saw that but I wanted a less ambiguous example, "corporate R&D" could be pretty dangerous in sufficiently cinematically cyberpunk settings. I wonder what the death rate was on the ED209 development team...

Re: Intracranical Explosive Charge
Sure, but is it a small charge, just enough to reliably kill the victim or a bigger one that can cause damage to close bystanders? We need to know whether there is a muffled crump! noise and the guy falls over with his eyeballs hanging out or whether his brains spraypaint the wall while skull fragments lethally ricochet around the room.
