Default Re: New and Custom Quirks?

You have an allergy or a food intolerance. This is a quirk-level Chronic Pain, Draining, Restricted Diet, Susceptible, Unusual Biochemistry or Vulnerability, as shown below:

Painful Allergy
You have an allergy that flares up occasionally, for example an allergy to the pollen of a certain plant. Define a period during which you are at risk of exposure and a frequency of appearance number; the longer the period, the lower the FoA number should be. During your at-risk period, roll daily against the FoA number. If you roll <= FoA, you get -2 to DX, IQ and self control rolls for one hour sometime during that day. If you take the necessary precautions, the GM may let you skip the roll for that day or lower the FoA number.

Draining Allergy
As Painful Allergy, but instead of taking -2 to various rolls, you take 1 point of damage. This damage doesn't start to heal until you have gone a full day without having to roll against FoA.

Dietary Intolerance
There is a foodstuff that your body can't digest properly. Roll HT every time you consume a meaningful amount. Failure means your HT drops by 1 until the substance has passed through your body, then you regenerate 1 HT per 24 hours. The HT loss is cumulative, but HT will not go lower than 1 unless you are trying to kill yourself (or someone else is).

Susceptible Allergy
You are extremely sensitive to one particular substance that most people wouldn't consider toxic. If you are exposed to trace quantities of the substance, roll HT+1. If you fail, you suffer a minor effect like fatigue loss or an irritating condition that you must specify as you take this quirk. If you are exposed to larger quantities of the substance, roll as above, but treat any failure as a critical failure. This could cause incapacitation or primary attribute loss.

Biochemical Allergy
One particular drug intended for your race/species has unpredictable effects on you. When you receive that drug, roll as for Unusual Biochemistry.

Vulnerable Allergy
As Susceptible Allergy, but you take 1d damage instead for failed HT+1 rolls on minor doses, upgraded to 4d damage for failed rolls on major doses.
