[DL] Those Pesky Grim Servants o' Death

["Marshal Bob" <fnord23@disinfo.net>]

SPOILERS (for my group anyway, so scram!)










Grim Servant o' Death is a five point Hindrance, yet there aren't very good guidelines for using it a something bad. So, I was brainstormin' last night and I came up with this idear.

Anytime a GSoD uses a Fate Chip to negate wounds, the Marshal rolls a d10.  The following results occur:

10:Nothing happens, Fate chip spent as usual.
2-9: The attack is directed at someone else and causes some inconvenience based on the roll (2-4:Minor=knocks someone's hat off. 5-8:Major=hits a lantern and starts a minor fire. 9:Catastrophic=the all-important NPC takes it in the face.)
1:One of the posse takes the damage instead (unlucky richochet, unrelated mishap, etc).

As for fate chips gained from the Hindrance?

Minor disatsers: 1 white per every two.
Major: 1 red per every two
Catastrophic: 1 blue per every two

PC damage:
1-2 levels:White
2-4 levels:Red
5 levels:Blue

That makes it a worthy Hindrance for 5 points and teahces the PCS to head for cover when the GSoD stops whistlin Dixie and pulls his pistols...

what do you think, sirs?
