Hi guys,

I was sitting around the table with my current SR group, discussing character ideas. One of my players had the idea of playing a character (a shaman) with hardly any body control to speak of and a good portion of sheer bad luck. She's neither stupid nor careless, she just happens to do stupid things by accident
Examples:
- drop something while trying to sneak past a guard
- slam a door shut during an escape while the sam has still his fingers in it (ouch!)
- spill a drink on the Johnsons new suit during the inital meet
- bump into a "son of sauron" who is having a baaad day

The idea was that it's up to her to play this in non-critical situations (mainly during down time or whenever it doesn't cause any real trouble) and to make a dice roll in critical situations (whenever the consequences can be dangerous). When those dicerolls are made is mainly left up to GMs discretion. I was thinking of a quicknes roll against a TN of 4 or something like that...
I believe that flaw is worth about 4 buildpoints.

Do you think this is fair? Overpowered? Too tough? Any comments? Ideas?
