Scary. This is asking for trouble (from their point of view. I expect you'll
have fun with it).

You mean the one that was martyred in the rush for a new Deadlands product, and
bestows benefits on those who actively buy Deadlands products, whether or not
they're a templar? :)

Poor gal. I like the idea of a pacifist junker, tho.

For a +8 to all persuasion rolls, or a +0 for those who don't like the fact
that she's Randy? I thaught of doing this once too.

Don't joke - my posse actually did this. They voted on who their CO would be
(and I abided by the ruling - not in the least because that's who *I* wanted,
but hey, let 'em think they have the power. They tend to vote down each other's
ideas anyway).

I have no objections here.
