I remember a thread an age ago where this was half dicussed, and basically if i recall correctly (and i might not) more then a few people myself included, thought that it wasn't actually a flaw, and in some instances qualified as a merit.
Well hows about a reworking of said "flaw"?? Merit, Day job worth 1-4 points. Whether it be working at the local stuff shack (yeah live that one down :D) or bodyguarding for your local fixer you have to spend a certain amount of time each week "working" for this offcause you receive a certain amount of income (depending on how many fries you serve..) 1 pt, 10 hrs per week serving "fries". and :nuyen: 1000 2 pt, 20 hrs per week and :nuyen: 2500 3 pt, 40 hrs per week and :nuyen: 5000 For the above Jobs consider your hours "set" ie mon-fri 9-5 or what you and your Gm can agree on. If your hours are complete flexable ie you have to do 20 per week programming can you can choose when that is +1 to the value of the merit. If your wanting a flaw to represent time you need to spend doing other things that don't pay anything i suggest you look at the "Dependents" flaw. Comments on a post card and all that... |
