I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's personal belief. I tried to use real world examples that I hope few if any here hold.

Re: Social Vulnerability: Daddy Issues (?)
Quote:
If your Delusions cause effects outside the social ones you should buy additional disadvantages to show this. For example, while some people make money off books on their close encounter, others lose their jobs, spend all their time trying to prove aliens, and become more and more paranoid. In either case you would have Delusion (abducted by aliens). The writer would have Delusion (abducted by aliens) [-5] at worst, as non-believers would think you weird, but you would have little other effect. The other person would have Delusion (abducted by aliens) [-15] along with lower Status, Wealth, gaining Paranoia [-10] and Obsession (Prove aliens exist) [-10] As such, getting back to the topic at hand, depending on how obvious the daddy issues are and how it makes you act, and others react to you, it could be worth any value as a delusion. This part would probably be [-1] or [-5] though. The other parts could be more severe.

Delusions are Mental disadvantages because it effects behavior? That you have to behave, "stupidly" for it to qualify? That delusions have a value based on what they are not how much they effect you? or something else entirely?

Re: Social Vulnerability: Daddy Issues (?)
It's a bit awkward, in that they're priced the same as OPH which don't require you to be, well, delusional...

I classify them on the affect they have, this may be incorrect, but it makes more sense in my mind. More importantly though, it does not really matter for this discussion, so I will concede the point.

Physical disadvantages are left behind when you swap your mind to a new body. Social disadvantages are picked up by people impersonating you successfully, and lost when you impersonate someone else. Impersonating someone doesn't remove your mental disadvantages or physical disadvantages, and those disads can make it hard to impersonate someone. Delusions come with your mind, they're Mental disads.

Re: Social Vulnerability: Daddy Issues (?)
The difference is that the OPH is something people can't fail to notice if they spend any time in your company. You can know someone with a Delusion for quite a long time before you realize that they think that aliens abduct them every Tuesday night.

It's not an effect that directly involves any dice rolls or penaltes, but it's basically similar to how many Self-Control Roll disadvantages work. Except that you never get to resist it. Every level of Delusion points out that the belief affects your behavior. That's not just an explanation for the reaction penalty... Quote:
Meanwhile, OPH: Eats Humans is certainly something you might be able to conceal for a while. (Though if you do so successfully long term you should have a Secret instead of an OPH.)
