I just got back from breastfeeding class, and as my wife was railing on about something in the car, I started thinking about Shadowrun. Then I was like "Wow, Shadowrun offers a flaw for runners with family.
Now if I recall correctly, it says GM's discretion as to the point value. What I was wondering, is what do other GM's rule in this case. I would think being a single parent of an infant would be at least -3. Having a wife with no kids, maybe -1. Having a wife that is particularly nagging, -2. Wife, 4 kids, another one on the way? I would say at least a -6. Hell, I would almost grab Day Job 3 (Corporate Wageslave) just for the insurance offered by the company. Well, what do other GM's out there think? |
