Handler advice needed - how would you approach these situations?
Hi! An inexperienced handler here. Recently in our sessions we came across 2 situations that left me stumped, and I wonder if there are rules I missed, or should I just go with a gut feeling there. How would you handle them?
- One of the agents became adapted to violence. The player rolled for the Charisma loss, got a 6... Which brought the total down to 0.
On one hand, this might have been the moment where the agent lost his grip on reality, can't communicate coherently anymore, etc. But it does feel like an odd edge case rather than something cool and cinematic like being reduced to 0 SAN.
In the end I ruled that his CHA becomes 3, but he gains a new disorder and loses all his bonds. Good call, or not?
- Two agents, the guy above included, have at this point of campaign lost all their bonds. We finished a chapter, played the home scenes... Where it became apparent that all (?) of them include some kind of bond loss.
Can they pick these downtime activities then?
My ruling was that yes, they can, but there's a progressing SAN penalty if they fall a POW check - essentially the loneliness creeps in and takes hold. Not sure if it was a good call or not.
What do you think?
