[Torg] WS Flaws

[Sam Frazier II]

Oh yea, I gots all the books. I's been playin since '95.

My current game, which started in '05, is going very well. My current gadgetteer and I have a revamped WS building which lends itself towards the gadgetteer on the move. I'm in the process of writting it up with a variety of blue-prints (examples of the process).

We are short on the flaws though, as they tend not to be very well defined in many areas (surprise considering right?)

We are reviewing the powers, and (like much of the other SPX) are finding no rhyme or reason for many of the numbers. We'll be reviewing those as well, the numbers I mean. 

Up until now we've been using Terra rules, which are better, but our process deals with issues we had with that process:
-- Real Time, Game Time and possibilties spent designing/building
-- Complexity of the build, lax of appropriate explaination.
-- Lack of consistancy on similar powers/flaws/etc with the process.

Anyway, we're reworking it a bit and thought anyone with extra thoughts on Flaws might like some input.

Once written and initially tested, I'll post it for review here before finalizing it up.

Since you say "books" I assume that means you've looked at the ones in
the Terra SB? The ones there tend to cover a lot of flaws that devices
might have - activation, burnout, a limited power supply, etc. The flaws
in the Nile book tend to be based more around exposure to some condition
or material, in which case a list of those will basically amount to just
a list of conditions and materials, which could be very lengthy.
