Demeanors
Texto
Each NPC profile includes a demeanor. A demeanor is a common personality type for characters of that sort, and it makes some Social skill checks easier while making others harder. Each demeanor lists an increase to the TN of Social skill checks with certain rings (“+1” or “+2”) and a decrease to the TN of Social skill checks with other rings (“–1” or “–2”), to reflect the fact that some characters are much more resistant to particular avenues than others, and prone to certain outbursts.
GMs are also encouraged to give NPCs unusual demeanors (or invent new ones, with modifiers and ways to unmask as they see fit) to keep the PCs on their toes!
