Hi all,

In reading the High Pain Tolerance merit I'm not sure how it works.

Is it, that for each 5BP, you get an to ignore an extra box of damage? Would that mean for 15BP (max it out), you don't start tracking wound modifiers until the 6th box of damage?
Also, if that is the case, does it mean you only take -1 dice instead of -2 for 6 boxes as you would normally?

I'm also trying to understand why would anyone pick this over say, damage compensators, the pain editor or the transgenic treatment that ignores all wound modifiers?

Yeah, it totally sucks.

For 5 BP I'd expect more. A lot more.

On a side note, if each cyberlimb grants an extra box of damage, where does that go and how does that affect your damage modifiers?

Back to HPT -
It might be worth while if for each 5BP, it reduced the wound modifiers by 1. So for 15BP you ignore up to -3 in wound modifiers.

Given 15BP at chargen would effectively pay for Damage Compensators 10+ (including use of Restricted Gear) that would actually make it worthwhile.

You can't actually buy DC 10. You're limited to items of Rating 6 at max according to the Resources section of Chargen.



The Restricted Gear quality only waives the Availability limit.

Cyberlimbs give Physical boxes.




I also agree that HPT should give you reduced wound modifiers.
