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. |

Re: Breaking down High Pain Threshold
Does any of that explicitly aid with the halving of penalties of the various Pain Afflictions?

Re: Breaking down High Pain Threshold
Awesome thread. I've always thought that HPT should be at two levels, one for Kromm's #2 and #3 points and a second level for the shock abatement. Cool that Dr. K broke it down like that.

Re: Breaking down High Pain Threshold
A possible explanation: the "halving" is not part of the effects of High Pain Threshold, but the restriction inherent to pain afflictions.
