| − | Self-loathing and Weariness are two of the three numeric stats
| + | |
| − | that describe minions in MY LIFE WITH THE BATMAN. The third
| |
| − | is Love, which is covered later in this chapter. All three will
| |
| − | fluctuate over the course of play, so the task of character
| |
| − | creation is about setting their initial values. And as it is with
| |
| − | Fear and Reason, minions will be both empowered and
| |
| − | victimized by their Self-loathing and Weariness.
| |
| − | Self-loathing measures how much a minion has come to think
| |
| − | he really is a monster. It will hinder a minion from resisting
| |
| − | the commands of the The Batman, but aid when a minion would
| |
| − | commit violence against Townspeople, Outsiders, or other
| |
| − | minions, or otherwise act in ways that create horror among
| |
| − | the polite folk. And it will tend to produce painful and tragic
| |
| − | outcomes when a minion makes overtures to Connections.
| |
| − | Weariness provides a more subtle benefit. It both increases
| |
| − | the likelihood a minion will fail and sustain wounds when
| |
| − | committing acts of violence, and it hinders resisting the
| |
| − | The Batman. But it doesn’t have any negative effect on making
| |
| − | overtures to Connections, which is significant, since the
| |
| − | The Batman will likely die at the hands of the minion who gains
| |
| − | the most Love from overtures with nice outcomes.
| |
| − | A player divides three points between Weariness and Selfloathing
| |
| − | for his minion character, and may put all three
| |
| − | points into one of them, if he so wishes, leaving the other to
| |
| − | start at 0.
