So, after the (to me anyway) sudden uprising against the Sensitive System quality in the Pacifism thread, I'm curious as to what other qualities (positive and negative), gear, software, abilities, etc. people have effectively "banned" at their table.
I've been amused with the "Sensitive System" responses because it's one of the qualities (such as "Restricted Gear") that doesn't really impact play once the session starts. Sure, the character isn't going to get ware, but that's the player's intent anyway. Then again. any "disadvantage" is, when you look at it, something the player intends to impact the game in a way they either enjoy or don't mind. I want to find the table where the GM tries to shift the player away from something like Sensitive System and towards something like, for example, Combat Monster, which is going to be a lot more disruptive to the game. So I'm trying to think of other cheese people will claim they would ban that just doesn't get talked about here. I understand we're used to things like the Emotitoy. I'm more interested in things like Technomancer faces (Complex Forms: Empathy Software and Simrig), the HK-227X (It's only Restricted?), Dermal Sheathing (It's not even restricted?), Glamor, or other things your (or other people's) players have tried to get away with over the years. Where does the cheese just get too stinky for your tastes? |
