Favored

Source book: Cutting Aces

Bonus: 3 to 10 Karma

Tribality is a curse in the metahuman mind. Maybe you belong to a specific, actual tribe. Maybe there’s a group you look up to, like elves for their grace and longevity, or you think AIs are a misunderstood, oppressed, and perhaps superior new species. Funny how hard it is to see the bloodstains on their hands through those rose-colored glasses. The Karma bonus granted by this quality depends on how common the favored group is, how often the character is likely to encounter members of the group, and the degree to which the character shows preference toward them. Refer to the Favored Table to determine the Karma value of the quality based on the prevalence of the favored group and the degree of favoritism. When dealing with the target of their favor, a character receives a –2 dice pool modifier per level of severity of the Favored quality for all Social Tests. If negotiations are a part of the encounter, the target receives a +2 modifier per level of the Favored quality. So if a character who is radical in their preference for the Awakened tries to negotiate with the target of their favor, they receive a –6 to their Negotiation Test while the target receives a +6 dice pool modifier.
