Why does it cost so much to be a ghoul?
Advantages: dual natured improved sense of smell improved hearing +1P unarmed damage Disadvantages: dual natured allergy to sunlight (mild) must eat people blind ugly distinctive style everyone wants to kill you That advantages list is pretty short, and none of them are really strong advantages. For only 65 more points, you can be a vampire. That gets you regeneration and immunity to age, pathogens and toxins. Maybe it's harder to feed, though, with that essence loss/drain thing. Wendigos also get the magician quality. So what's the deal? Do they just price it high, to keep it rare? |
