Editing MTH:The Malefactors Society (section)

==Benefits==

Once the character has been assigned a nemesis they gain Status 1 with the Malefactor Society for free. This status can be raised with exp and roleplay like other forms of Status, and can add to other merits for the purposes of acquiring stereotypical villainous equipment. The character also can buy the Equipment Merits at half cost. Lastly, membership in the Society can be used as a rational for Contacts and Allies which are shady and will perform illegal services. 

	Membership comes with following Society Law. This byzantine system is almost impossible to work through competently (supervillian lawyers are highly refined form of evil), but that just allows members to manipulate the system for their own benefit, which, really, is the point. Members are able to bedevil other members with legal wrangling. They may roll Intelligence + Politics + Power Level to trump up a charges the Society will try the target for. Successes equal the severity of the offense (see below). Beating the charges requires creativity.
