<strong>Derangements</strong><br/><br/>Derangements don't really come into play in a mechanical sense until someone gets 7+ in a Virtue.  So far, everyone only has 3 in a Virtue (although people who haven't spent any of their XP yet and are done with their Imbuing scenes may upgrade to 4 if they so choose), so I don't expect it to come up for a while.  However, players being what they are and planning ahead, I figure I'll post this as soon as it occurs to me.<br/><br/>Note that this only comes up as system derangements.  If someone wants to play out their character losing his or her mind in one way or another as part of roleplay, that's certainly awesome and acceptable.  Far be it from me to dictate how you play your character.<br/><br/>I see derangements as being a two point flaw.  Most of the derangements in the book, therefore, fit according to that point in regards to what they do, the penalties which arise from them, and so on.  By the book, this is supposed to be painful, along with being part and parcel of a Hunter who's reaching such an extreme devotion to the Hunt, but some just may not want to go this route.  White Wolf has a long tradition of using the dice to dictate how you play your character; I do not.<br/><br/>If someone wants to mitigate one of the listed derangements, I will make it 3xp to downgrade to a milder form of what's listed in the book.  Rolls will be gone, any mechanical benefits or drawbacks will be removed, but the character will still be expected to follow out the milder version through roleplaying.  It's something I'd be interested in allowing to try out, though I don't know if it'd work, and we can always fix it later if it's crap.<br/><br/>By the same token, completely curing a derangement (likely through extensive therapy) would be 6xp total.  (The 3xp to downgrade a derangement would count, so 3xp more to cure a mild derangement).<br/><br/>I feel as though this is a fair consideration for people to consider, but criticisms are always welcome.  Even though it won't come up for a while, most of you realize that I plan very well ahead for some things.<br/>
