New Drawback: Vengeful

 


 

Vengeful

Bonus: 50 Hero Points

Vengeful is a psychological drawback that describes a character who is motivated by a deep desire for revenge against someone or something that has wronged them in the past. This could be a specific person, group, or even a concept, like an injustice or societal problem. Characters with this drawback may be consumed by their desire for vengeance, leading them to take dangerous risks and put themselves and others in harm's way to achieve their goal. They may also have difficulty letting go of past grievances and forgiving those who have wronged them, even if it is in their best interest to do so. As a result, characters with the Vengeful drawback may struggle with interpersonal relationships and may be perceived as overly aggressive or confrontational. They may also be more susceptible to manipulation by others who use their desire for revenge against them.

GM Note: There is no real roll for this drawback, its just that whomever takes this drawback, will go out of their way, dedicating their life to "righting the wrong" so to speak. There is no resisting your vengeful spirit, you will do what you will to satisfy the beast inside you, thus, this grants you 50 Hero Points as a bonus. This Drawback can be removed, but it has to have some type of story in game and discussed with the GM in detail before hand, there may never be a way to get rid of the hatred in your heart.

I did consider making this fall under Irrational Attraction, but I felt that was more for objects or things, not actual beings. Hey its my game, my world, I can do as I need to fit the story, right?
