Examples Defined By Mechanics: What could trigger a roll Benefits/Penalties

10

Messianic Jesus, Aslan Won’t do anything sinful, and would lay down his life without a problem. Only will strike down something beyond redemption (such a villainous vampire) but otherwise will avoid harming anything. Instead, will try to redeem or fix others.

Intent, means, and consequences must all be morally good. Indulging in a vice, harming another human, harming supernaturals that have shown no ill intent, committing a selfish act would all trigger rolls

Benefit: +5 to all supernatural resist rolls, +3 bonus in Social with those of Morality 6 or higher

Penalty: No Willpower via Vice

9 Saintly Intent means, and consequences should all be morally good.

8 Goody Two Shoes

Actively works to not break morally sound rules. Will try to get

7 Upstanding Citizen

6Decent Guy James T. Kirk,

Harry PotterGuy who tries to pursue the right actions. Will aim to do the right thing, but may use underhanded tactics to do it sometimes. Looks to take the third option when they can.

Intent and consequences should all be morally goodNo roll for minor crimes for sustenance, but there is one for if these crimes are self-serving. Self-defense or fighting enemy combatants will not trigger rolls, but harming

5

Pragmatist Spock, Generals,

Avoids excessive use of force, but has no problem using whatever acts need to be done to uphold the greater good. They aren’t pursuing these acts for themselves though, and will try to come to the best possible outcome after weighing the odds. But they will pursue what they see as the best chance to do good, even if it may not be the morally best way of doing it.

Intent and consequences should all be morally good. Means may not be. Double effect becomes a viable argument to them.

4

Asshole with Heart of Gold

Han Solo (New Hope)

Pursues selfish actions that benefit himself, and has no problem treating you like crap. However, at the end of the day, big questions of morality are usually going to end up being good. But usually only after being torn or seeing if they pay out might just be enough to take the darker path.

3

Punch Clock Thug

Para-military, Hired Thugs, Black-ops targeting civilians

Will do evil acts, and work for the bad guys, but because they are paying him. “I am just doing my job” or “Just following orders” will be his or her reply when asked why. Not likely to enjoy what they are doing and will use only minimal amount needed to finish job. He knows what he does is wrong. You may be able to talk him down though.

2Villain Michael

Corleone He is evil for some reason besides just being evil. However he no longer recognizes the actions he takes as being evil, but either necessary or good. He may mask it with religion, family, or tradition.

1

Satanic Emperor Paplatine, The Devil

Enjoys corrupting others just to see them become evil. No qualms about committing any evil act that separates them from personal gain, though many still have some code that allows them to interact or function with others. May have had an excuse for his original turn, and may still use it to try and convince others they should join him, but really just revels in being bad.

0 Omincidal Maniac

Azrael from Dogma,

No care for anything or anyone beyond personal gain, and their personal gain is clearly against the benefits of anyone but

Darkside, themselves. Most often the villain who is seeking an end to everything, for no reason other than he can. Or enslavement of all of reality because he views his will as the only thing that matters. Usually viewed as insane or pure evil.

5 Practical

43 Frivolous

2 Foolish

1Flippant “Magic should serve man” would sum up their thoughts, and

they use it expressely for their benefits. Paradox only concerns them in as far as how it may harm them.

0Blatant Acts like a toddler with a new toy, an irresponsible teen with

daddy’s credit card. Magic is solely for their own amusement and trivial whims. Cares nothing of paradox, and will allow for it to run rampant.
