Painful Honesty
AirTipos InterpersonalDescrição
A popular, if bawdy, song at many roadside inns in Rokugan, “The Honest Husband” is the story of a staunch-hearted farmer who can never tell a lie. The song progresses through several verses where he is faced with questions from his wife about her weight, the attractiveness of her sister, and other increasingly risky (and risqué) situations. The song’s refrain of “you know I love you, dearest, but I cannot tell a lie” has become on its own a catchphrase, used jokingly when a person is asked difficult questions.
Efeitos
The following apply to a character with the Painful Honesty anxiety:
You are tormented by internal conflict when you lie or allow a lie to pass. You cannot make claims you know to be false, although you can say technically truthful things that imply untruths, if politeness or circumstances demand it.
After you make a check to mislead someone else (such as a Courtesy [Air] check to falsely besmirch someone’s reputation or a Command [Air] check to manipulate an underling), you receive 3 strife. If this is the first time this has occurred this scene, gain 1 Void point.
