Flaws mechanic for Genesys

By DarthDude, in Genesys

Maybe one of the developers stumbles of this thread. 😁

Recently the thread Cowboys and Dinosaurs bumped up in the Settings forum and it included a beckground mechanic I really like and which would be a great addition to Genesys, either by an official product (hopefully there will be beyond the Keyforge setting) or the Foundry.

This background mechanic is a kind of extended obligation mechanic, where you can trade flaws for additional XP for character creation. It would be a great tool for further character individualization and would grant additional narrative opportunities to play out flaws.

My Supers Setting will have Flaws as a mechanic.

Do you use an upper XP limit for acquiring flaws like for instance obligation 20 in EotE?

I think I’ll be making it 50 as the intention is to allow powers to have Flaws too. You might call them limitations.
