Disadvantages with the Maintenance limitation? (Can you even do that?)
For things like that, an option is to take the Disadvantage unmodified, then take a "Negated Disadvantage" Advantage that, well, negates it, with the relevant Limitation(s) on the Advantage. For example, let's say you have an elf who falls into depression if he isn't entertained at least once a week, and said entertainment needs to be a performance of some type involving 3-5 people. This elf would have Chronic Depression (6-) [-30] and Negated Disadvantage: Chronic Depression (Requires Weekly Maintenance by 3-5 people, -15%) [26] (rounded up from [25.5]). Maintenance usually uses technical skills, but using entertainment skills should be acceptable in this case. Note this ends up only being worth [-4].
