For those going that route, from the Mitigating Disadvantages w/o Self Control Number thread:

• You resist fairly often (roll of 9 or less – 37.5% of the time): 1.5 x listed cost. (B121)
• You resist quite often (roll of 12 or less – 74.1% of the time): 1 x listed cost. (B121)
• You resist almost all the time (roll of 15 or less – 95.4% of the time): 0.5 x listed cost. (B121)
• You resist always (100% of the time): 0 cost. (obviously)

So Zombies added the 2.5 x cost mechanic to Disadvantages in order to make resistible mental Disadvantages not resistible. Why not apply the same metric to not resistible mental Disadvantages to give them a Self-Control number? Seriously, I'm asking; if this is not a good idea, let me know why.

Disadvantages Without A Self-Control Number

• You resist never (N/A – 0% of the time): 1 x listed cost.
• You resist quite rarely (roll of 6 or less – 9.3% of the time): 0.8 x listed cost.
• You resist fairly often (roll of 9 or less – 37.5% of the time): 0.6 x listed cost.
• You resist quite often (roll of 12 or less – 74.1% of the time): 0.4 x listed cost.
• You resist almost all the time (roll of 15 or less – 95.4% of the time): 0.2 x listed cost.
• You resist always (100% of the time): 0 cost. (common sense)
