Title: Racial Qualities
Post by: Moonshine Fox on <08-05-19/1702:24>
Pretty sure I've already figured this one out via the archetypes but, the positive qualities you get from race do NOT count for the 6 quality limit correct?

Yeah, the restriction of 6 seems to specifically apply to the ones from phase 3 and 4.

Do humans have any racial qualities?  Though in this edition everyone is human. There short human, tall human, human with small tusks, really tall human with horns and tusks and vanilla human.

Not under RAW. I'm going to houserule that.

No they don't. Personally I think they should get to choose a few attributes to put special points into. Show off that human adaptability that's so often talked about.

That and I may raise the quality limit to 10, as 6 seems pretty restrictive, but I'll see how it roles out in play first. The qualities seem more balanced in cost vs reward then they have in the past.

Is multiple ranks in the same quality multiple qualities to that 6 or just one. Like focussed concentration 3 is that 3 qualities or 1.

Focussed Concentration 3 is likely intended to be  a single quality of Six.  But I don't think it's specifically mentioned.

 I am 97% certain that each quality counts as a single quality, no matter what level you have at.  Level 1 or level 3 would still count as just Focused Concentration.

If it's ranked consider it 1 I'd say. If it's 'can take multiple times' it's 2. Two allergies soule be 2.

Is it intended that Humans can buy lowlight, thermo vision and dermal deposits at chargen?  They all have karma costs, which indicates they can.  Of you could via SURGE effects, but these doesn't feel right without explanations other than "some random fluke of genetics".

If you weren't allowed, they wouldn't be buyable. They never were in the Qualities section before. So yes, "Thanks to enhancements or just genetics," you can have that.
