Okay, so I made this a poll only because it may give me a little bit of a better idea what all of you're experiences are.
My main questions: 1. Have you ever been in a game where it became a question of whether or not you're pc was playable because of HMHVV infection? 2. What did you're GM decide? 3. If it was playable, how did you're char deal with the infection? 4. What rules did you're GM use for the infection? I just started wondering on these points after a post in anouther thread. If this has been asked before and I just missed it some way or anouther with the search function, please add a link, and accept my applogies. :-) To answer myself: 1. Yes, it has happend multiple times with different GMs 2. They were playable, provided they made various willpower checks. 3. Usually well, though the troll had a hard time of it. 4. Same as ghoul, higher target #, I think. |
