=Drawbacks= ==Security== *'''+0 Points - Full Security''' - The edge is story-guaranteed to you by the GM - you can never lose it. *'''+3 Points - Partial Security''' - The edge can be removed or taken from you. If it is taken from you temporarily, you'll always regain it by the end of the game session. If it is taken permanently, you gain 1 XP in compensation. Also, it can't be removed or taken from you without you being ''defeated'' in an appropriate conflict first. *'''+5 Points - No Security''' - The edge can be removed or taken from you. What is more, you gain no compensation if this happens. However, it still can't be removed or taken from you without you being ''defeated'' in an appropriate conflict first. *'''+10 Points - Destined to be lost''' - The Edge can be removed or taken from you - in fact, such is the Edge's fragile nature that youa re sure that it will not last. When you gain this Major Edge, you gain it only for D6 game sessions - the GM makes the roll secretly. At the end of that time, if it has not been removed or taken from you already, it will then be lost to you. An example of this might be being the favoured courtesan of an Emperor with roving eyes, or being a noble lord of a dominion that is being invaded by far greater forces. You don't even have to lose a conflict to lose this Edge - it can just happen! <br> ==Authority== *'''+0 Points - No Limits''' - The edge works under almost all reasonable circumstances. For example, exceptional beauty works everywhere... *'''+3 Points - Broad Authority''' - The edge will function under most circumstances that would be encountered in play - for example, having the authority of the Jade Protectorate is an edge that will work with any Middle Kingdom citizens. *'''+5 Points - Limited Authority''' - The edge applies only in a small proportion of circumstances that would be encountered in play. For example, being the Honoured Bureaucrat of Rice Paddy Allocation helps you deal with peasants, farmers and merchants, but isn't going to impress anyone else. *'''+10 Points - Single Target''' - The edge only works on one specific target. For example, if you are the one true love of the sorcerer Ta Yu, its likely you can influence him, but that Edge isn't going to help you with anybody else at all. <br> ==Responsibility== *'''+0 Points - No Responsibility''' - The edge comes with no price. *'''+3 Points - Inconvenient Responsibility''' - The responsibility won't interfere greatly with your ability to adventure, but it still troubles you from time to time. For example, if you are an officer in the Jade Protectorate, then you would be expected to obey orders from your superiors, and to uphold the law when you encounter crime. *'''+5 Points - Arduous Responsibility''' - The edge comes with a significant responsibility that will come up almost every game session, and force you into certain actions if you want to keep the edge. For example, if you are the Emperor's concubine, then you can't leave the palace to go adventuring without his permission, and are expected to come back whenever you are called for. *'''+10 Points - All Encompassing Responsibility''' - The responsibilities you hold take up pretty much all of your time. Unless the GM is going to set the campaign around these responsibilities, then you're probably not suitable to be a player character in this game. The Emperor's First Minister, for example, would have all encompassing responsibility. <br><br>
