原書表記

　A “quirk” is a minor feature that sets you aside from others. It has a negative point value, but it is not necessarily a disad- vantage. You may take up to five quirks at -1 point apiece . . . and if you do, you’ll have five more points to spend.

　While quirks have a small cost, they are a large part of what makes a character seem “real,” and merit no less thought than big-ticket items. A “valid” or “legitimate” quirk meets one of these criteria:

　●It occasionally requires you to make a specific choice, or to have your character engage in a particular action or behavior. This needn’t be especially inconvenient, but it must be some- thing that you have to do in the course of the game – it can’t be completely passive. Such quirks are nearly always mental in nature, and epitomize “not necessarily a disadvantage.”

　●It causes a small game-mechanical drawback very occasionally or when engaging in a narrow set of actions. This might be a penalty to a dice roll, but it need not be. Equally good possibilities include modest bonuses to rivals’ rolls, diluted effects taken from full-sized disadvantages, small expenditures of time or money, and meta-game restrictions (e.g., forbidden abilities or rules options). Quirks like this are minor disadvantages. A mental quirk might work this way; physical and social quirks always do.

　As quirks in the first category are a “roleplaying-only” con- cern rather than a matter of rules, they’re lightly represented in Chapter 2. The primary goal of GURPS Power-Ups 6: Quirks is to establish fair “mini-disadvantages.”

「[[ハードとソフト>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Hard_vs_Soft]]」

原書表記

Hard vs. Soft
　Players will notice that roleplaying-only quirks have “soft” effects while minor disadvantages have “hard,” unavoidable ones. That isn’t a problem – nobody has to take any quirks at character creation, and players are welcome to avoid those that penalize or complicate actions. There are two things to remember, though.

　First, the player must roleplay “soft” quirks or receive fewer bonus character points (Enforcing Quirks, p. 5). Losing just one point this way compensates for the quirk left unplayed; missing several points makes the quirk a “hard” liability indeed. Roleplaying mini-disadvantages is encouraged, too, but the GM has the recourse of enforcing ingame effects (penalties, expenses, etc.) instead of meta-game ones (docking points). Thus, gamers who tend to forget quirks are better off choosing ones that have concrete drawbacks.

　Second, quirks can be acquired in play (Gaining New Quirks, p. 7). Such traits represent madness, injuries, curses, and other Bad Things. They’re meant to be disadvantageous and thus “hard,” not minor roleplaying hooks. You can end up with these whether you like it or not!

「[[癖の効果>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Quirky_Effects]]」

原書表記

Quirky Effects
　What minor drawbacks are fair? That can be tricky to nail down, but here are some rough guidelines:

　Penalties to Success Rolls: -1 on the character’s rolls to act (e.g., attribute, skill, or active defense rolls) or to resist something (Will rolls vs. Influence skills, self-control rolls for disadvan- tages, etc.) – or on allies’ rolls to assist him – in occasional circumstances.

　Reaction Penalties: -1 to reactions toward the character from a small class of people, or at most 1/3 of the time (e.g., 5- 6 on 1d).

　Bonuses to Rivals’ Rolls: +1 to others’ Influence rolls on the character, or on attempts to identify or notice him, in occa- sional circumstances.

　Disadvantage Effects: Qualitative effects of full-sized disad- vantages, infrequently or in rare circumstances. Think in terms of applying divisors (to adjust for frequency of appearance, people affected, self-control roll, etc.)
and limitations sufficient to cut disadvantage cost to -1 point.

　Social Inconveniences: Undesirable-but-minor social situations, significantly less serious than Dependents or Enemies, that arise on a 6 or less on 3d.

　Extra Contingencies: Uncommon external effects (e.g., magnetism or True Faith) or dice rolls that most other people don’t need to worry about do matter for the character. For a quirk, this means an additional minor headache on rare occasions, not serious harm or incapacity.

　Restricted Options: Required choices – much as for roleplaying-only quirks – worded in terms of actions, rolls, or rules options that are flatly forbidden but only occasionally relevant.

　Extra Expenses: Lost or wasted cash equal to about 10% of the character’s income, as a lump sum monthly or in smaller chunks whenever the quirk crops up. The figure can be much higher for mandatory expenditures on useful things he gets to keep.

　Extra Time: At least 10% more time to perform an occasional task, or a half-hour of study time unavoidably lost each day.

　Extra FP Costs: +1 FP to perform an occasional task that costs FP already.

　A quirk needn’t work the same way whenever it comes up. It can cause several effects by turns; e.g., -1 to the character’s own rolls or +1 to rivals’ rolls . . . or -1 to one of several rolls, depending on specific circumstances . . . or lost time in one sit- uation or -1 to a roll in another.

　Effects should be harsher if the quirk matters extremely rarely (say, every couple of adventures rather than every few game sessions). Handle this by increasing their size or number. For instance, a modifier might become -2 to self or +2 to oth- ers, or -1 to self and +1 to others, or -1 to several things at once (attribute, reaction, and self-control rolls); extra time or money might increase to 20%. If the quirk is a few-times-in-a-career sort of thing or essentially voluntary (concerns a skill nobody has to learn, gives “penalties” in the form of refused bonuses, etc.), then even -5 to a roll, or +50% to time or expense, might be warranted! More serious drawbacks also suit critical failures on success rolls the quirk requires.

　A quirk can give its possessor a small benefit that’s the opposite of one of the above effects, somewhat like a perk. If so, the drawbacks should be larger. For instance, +1 to the occasional beneficial roll could justify -2 to something equally common.

　For examples of these options and more, see Chapter 2. When in doubt, model your quirk on an existing one. Quirk design is an art, not an accounting problem – the goal is to create quirks that feel fair, not to make each one precisely as limiting as the next.

「[[癖の強制>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Enforcing_Quirks]]」

原書表記

Enforcing Quirks
　Roleplaying-only quirks are easily enforced. When awarding bonus character points (pp. B498-499), the GM asks, “Did the player roleplay this quirk when he could have?” If the answer is a straightforward “no,” the GM subtracts a point from the award to send a message.
If the player honestly forgot about the quirk, the GM might instead replace it with one that’s easier to remember, or at worst spend the withheld point to buy it off; see Changing Quirks in Play (below). Conversely, if the player made a habit of deliberately ignoring or doing the opposite of the quirk, docking two points is warranted.

　Mini-disadvantages require more judgment. The GM has to be fair about invoking the game effects, taking to heart words such as “minor,” “occasional,” “rare,” “small,” and “trivial.” At the same time, he must ensure that the quirks come up, unless he wants them to be free points (that’s fine . . . if it’s intentional!).
One principle in particular is vital:


　Quirks Don’t “Stack”: Most modifiers add up and apply cumulatively. Quirks don’t – they aren’t worth enough points for this to be fair. The GM who drags in multiple unrelated quirks in order to saddle players with crippling penalties is acting against the spirit of the game as surely as the player who views those quirks as free points. Invoke quirks one at a time. If several seem applicable, go with the one that seems most fun right now and save the others for later, except in the special cases discussed under Overlapping Quirks (below) and Intolerance (p. 26).

「[[重複する癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Overlapping_Quirks]]」

原書表記

Overlapping Quirks
　Several quirks might spring from the same origin; e.g., Religious (p. 8) regarding a faith that expects temple contributions and a Vow (p. 9) to tithe, or a Code of Honor (p. 9) about being “gentlemanly” toward women and Willful Ignorance (p. 9) to the effect of “women are weak.” Whenever possible, the GM should strive to enforce just the trait that best fits the circumstances. However, he has leave to “stack” the effects of such quirks when there’s no doubt that they would all apply. A fair way to do so is to increase the odds of problems that depend on dice rolls; see Odious Personal Habit (p. 20) for a simple method.

　If the GM foresees several quirks always cropping up together, he may ask the player to diversify more. If he allows the overlap, it’s only fair to discuss the synergy before the PC enters play. This gives the player an opportunity to better differentiate the quirks, or to merge them into one that has a single effect for a range of triggers (compare Idealistic, p. 19) or different effects that cannot be triggered simultaneously (as in External Mood Influence, p. 18).

「[[プレイ中の癖の変化>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Changing_Quirks_in_Play]]」

原書表記

CHANGING QUIRKS IN PLAY
Quirks needn’t be permanent fixtures. Like more serious traits, it’s possible to add, remove, and tweak them to reflect character experiences and evolution.

「[[空の癖スロット>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Empty_Quirk_Slots]]」

原書表記

Empty Quirk Slots

Declaring even the most minor character traits before the campaign begins doesn’t suit every play style. Some players prefer to define their alter egos through roleplaying. Others like to adjust their characters on the fly to give them stronger “hooks” to the game world or other PCs. While full-sized disadvantages are tricky as late-breaking additions, raising thorny questions about why they didn’t affect situations they should have, quirks are trivial enough to take time to emerge, making them the ideal tool for fine-tuning in play.

　To support this, the GM might allow players to hold open some or all of their five “quirk slots” at character creation, to be populated later. Although the Basic Set counsels filling these with minor personality traits that occur in the course of roleplaying, that’s merely a guideline. If a PC suffers physical stress during the campaign’s early sessions – anything from drunkenness, through severe exhaustion, to torture or injury – it would be reasonable to add a physical quirk (p. 22-25) as a memento. Similarly, mental quirks could arise from psychological strain, and social quirks (pp. 32-33) from plot entanglements. In particular, when PCs with unfilled slots experience traumas such as those noted under Gaining New Quirks (p. 7), the usual spectrum of quirks can result even if the rules don’t require it.

　When using empty slots, the GM is within his rights to set limits not only on the number of undefined quirks permitted but also on how many game sessions of grace are allowed.　Waiting too long gives the GM carte blanche to specify the missing quirks. As these won’t be traits the player has agreed to roleplay, they’ll probably end up being ones with “hard” game effects, most often physical quirks. Alternatively, the GM may garnish bonus character points to pay off the debt, deleting empty slots at the cost of one earned point apiece. Either approach should give players an incentive to remember to define their quirks!

「[[既存の癖の変更>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Changing_Existing_Quirks]]」

原書表記

Changing Existing Quirks

　Defining a quirk doesn’t mean being stuck with it forever. People change, and that goes double for interesting people like the heroes of RPG campaigns. When a PC experiences life-altering events – whether good (marriage, achieving a career goal, receiving therapy, etc.), bad (such as accidents, betrayals, and the traumas mentioned in Gaining New Quirks, p. 7), or neutral-but-memorable (e.g., learning a previously hidden truth or being told a secret) – it can be fun to mark the occasion by altering a quirk.

　The Basic Set recommends limiting exchanges to mental foibles, but that’s hardly the only option. For instance, someone might see the mental quirk “Likes fast cars” turn into a Minor Handicap (p. 23) after a smallbut- lasting injury suffered in a nasty automobile accident dampens his passion for speedy rides. It sometimes makes sense to change one physical quirk to another, too; e.g., that Minor Handicap could become Care (p. 22) or Minor Addiction (p. 29) as a consequence of medical procedures or drugs used to treat the injury. In short, players are encouraged to be creative – and the GM, to keep an open mind – when it comes to swapping quirks. Given the right events, nearly any quirk could supplant almost any other, provided that everyone agrees that the replacement makes sense.

　Gamers seeking specific examples should see Chapter 2. Many quirks there suggest evolutions of this sort, particularly Variable Quirk (pp. 21-22).

「[[5個で足りるか？>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Is_Five_Enough]]」

原書表記

Is Five Enough?
　Some players have difficulty remembering to roleplay more than a handful of personality traits. The GM may find recalling and enforcing several PCs’ quirks even trickier, and isn’t supposed to “stack” quirk effects (Enforcing Quirks, p. 5). Thus, there’s an argument to be made that permitting lots of quirks would lead to most of them being forgotten or preempted, making them free points – in which case it would be less complicated to set a maximum and increase the campaign power level.
The suggested limit is five. The rules do provide for exceeding that number (Gaining New Quirks, p. 7), but always in the context of genuinely troublesome mini-disadvantages that reduce point value. Nobody has to roleplay these; they’re extra drawbacks for the GM to invoke.

Still, it’s presumptuous to assume that gamers can’t handle more than five quirks – especially when there’s no rule against having more than five full-sized disadvantages, provided that their point value doesn’t exceed the campaign’s disadvantage limit. And some players might find “You can define five quirks, but the GM can hit you with any number later on!” unfair. The GM who agrees with any of this may allow more quirks.

Conversely, the GM of a campaign where quirks are unlikely to be roleplayed may set a lower limit. Good reasons for this include a focus on hack ’n’ slash (in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy, for instance), a campaign that operates at a scale above that of individuals (as with GURPS Mass Combat), or a game where the players haven’t created their own characters (e.g., at a convention) or are new to roleplaying.

Whatever the situation, it may be useful to impose more restrictive limits on roleplaying-only quirks than on mini-disadvantages similar to those inflicted by Fright Checks and injuries. The exact numbers are up to the GM, who might say, “As many as three quirks from GURPS Power-Ups 6: Quirks and up to two others that can be as vague as you like,” “Five roleplaying- only quirks, but mini-disadvantages are restricted only by the disadvantage limit,” or almost anything else.

Limits apply only to concurrent quirks. For successive ones, see Changing Existing Quirks (below) – and for a particularly balanced compromise between variety and manageability, try a Variable Quirk (pp. 21-22).

「[[癖の追加取得>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Gaining_New_Quirks]]」

原書表記

Gaining New Quirks

　Some rules permanently afflict people with new quirks; e.g., Brainwashing (p. B182), Instant Learning (p. B295), Fright Checks (pp. B360-361), Drug Withdrawal (p. B440), and Fascinating Parachronic Disasters (p. B532). When this happens, simply write the quirks on the character sheet and reduce point value accordingly. It is possible to end up with more than five quirks this way, and these don’t replace existing quirks or fill empty “quirk slots.” Most such quirks should be mini-disadvantages, since the player didn’t ask for them and might not feel comfortable being told to roleplay differently.

　On the other hand, if a PC weathers a trauma like this without acquiring any quirks – probably by succeeding at whatever resistance rolls the rules allow – the player may opt to have the character “give in” anyway. The same goes for comparably stressful events that don’t involve rolling dice (e.g., a mild shock for which the GM requires no Fright Check). In that case, simply fill an empty slot with a suitable quirk or change an existing one to commemorate the event. This kind of voluntary fallout doesn’t lower point value and cannot normally result in more than five quirks.

「[[解消への道>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#The_Road_to_Recovery]]」

原書表記

The Road to Recovery

　When buying off a full-fledged disadvantage, it’s most believable and least disruptive to do so gradually: reducing the problem to lower levels, making its self-control roll less severe, and so on. A reasonable final step is a quirk left behind after paying off all but one point. Unless the GM rules otherwise, such traits count as “gained in play” and can lead to more than five quirks.

「[[癖の清算>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Buying_Off_Quirks]]」

原書表記

Buying Off Quirks

Quirks acquired in play – including ones inflicted by the rules (Gaining New Quirks, above), the vestiges of more serious problems (The Road to Recovery, above), and nearly anything else above and beyond the starting quirk limit – are really minor disadvantages. As usual with disadvantages, the GM may require in-game events, physical therapy, psychological counseling, etc. to justify getting rid of them; see pp. B291-292. If the GM agrees that you may do so, then simply pay a point and erase the quirk.

The same goes for physical and social quirks chosen during character creation. Once you’ve addressed the health issue, set the paperwork straight, or done whatever the GM says is required, you can buy off the quirk for a point. This is also true for mental quirks that are more mini-disadvantages than roleplaying choices; suitable psychotherapy may “cure” these, if you have the points.

However, many starting mental quirks – especially of the pure-roleplaying variety – aren’t actually “problems” to solve. They’re part of what makes the character interesting! Buying off such personality traits is the player’s privilege but rarely the best idea, as it will make the PC flatter and less intriguing. If such a quirk isn’t fun, then it’s time for the player and GM to sit down and discuss one that is; see Changing Existing Quirks (pp. 6-7).

「[[特殊効果による癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Afflicting_Quirks]]」

原書表記

Afflicting Quirks
　In campaigns that feature superhuman abilities, questions about Afflictions (pp. B35-36) that deliver quirks may arise. In general, the Disadvantage enhancement is allowed for quirks that behave like physical or non-self-imposed mental disadvantages. Thus, exotic (pp. 12-13), mental (pp. 17-20), physical (pp. 22-25), and supernatural (pp. 33- 34) quirks are probably fine if they suit the target; e.g., Residual Personality (p. 34) only affects shape-changers. The modifier is worth +1%, inflicts the quirk instead of stunning, and lasts a minute per point of failure on the resistance roll.

　These guidelines prohibit convictions (pp. 8-9), preferences and aversions (pp. 25-27), and preoccupations (pp. 27-30) that aren’t watered-down versions of permitted mental disadvantages; disadvantage variations (pp. 9-12) on problems that aren’t themselves allowed; looks and mannerisms (pp. 13-16) that aren’t purely physical; skill quirks (pp. 30-32) besides Cognition Quirks; and social quirks (pp. 32-33). Anything that permanently alters character points is definitely off-limits, forbidding Point- Spending Quirks (p. 21) and Trivial Destiny (p. 34). Effects that summon objects, even temporarily, are also out, eliminating choices like Unwelcome Accessory and Cosmetic Eyeglasses (p. 13). Meta-game quirks (pp. 21-22) are left to the GM, who has the final say about any Affliction.

「[[第2章：色んな癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#2]]」

• 第2章：癖リスト（2. THE QUIRKS）　p.8

原書表記

GURPS Power-Ups 6: Quirks describes over 150 quirks, many of them lengthy and with examples. Since most people dislike big lists, these have been sorted by type. While the categories are somewhat arbitrary, the section intros suggest concrete rules differences – be sure to read them. To find a quirk by name, consult the index (pp. 35-36).
A few important notes on choosing quirks from this list:
● Many quirks are diluted disadvantages. If a quirk is described as a “minor,” “quirk-level,” or “trivial” form of a disadvantage, then that’s exactly what it is. No character can have both quirk-level and full-priced versions of a problem – choose one or the other.
● If a disadvantage forbids a trait (advantage, another disadvantage, etc.), then so does its quirk form.
● If a trait (advantage, disadvantage, racial template, “taboo traits” feature, etc.) forbids a disadvantage, then it also forbids that disadvantage’s quirk form.

Everything past this point is just a suggestion! Players are encouraged to dream up original quirks, and the GM is never required to permit the specific examples listed here.

• コラム：癖の名前?（Quirky Names）　p.8

原書表記

Quirks from earlier GURPS publications (perhaps 1/5 of this collection) retain their original names for consistency’s sake. The rest sport utilitarian or whimsical monikers.
There is no need to use these “official” labels! Many quirks require the player to come up with a specific instance and name it. Consider doing so for all quirks – it helps bring the character to life. Just be sure to tack on a brief note summarizing any important game effects; e.g., “Follower of Snarsh (-1 reactions from orc philosophers).”

「[[信条>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Convictions]]」

原書表記

A passionate investment in an idea – be it trivial or grandly cosmological – makes an excellent quirk. Those who understand such convictions can often exploit them; many of the traits below offer examples of this. The GM may require a skill roll before permitting such manipulation, if the quirk’s subject is sufficiently abstruse. This might involve Law or Philosophy for a formal code, Occultism or Theology for faith or superstition, or a Professional Skill or Savoir-Faire specialty for an outlook associated with an occupation. Weirder possibilities abound, such as Hobby Skill (B Movies) for someone who styles his life on bad action flicks!

These traits are self-imposed stances, not psychiatric foibles like those under Mental Quirks (pp. 17-20). Thus, you may freely replace them or buy them off if your experiences inspire you to revise your thinking.

「[[信念>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Belief]]」

原書表記

Belief
You subscribe to a specific way of seeing the world. This might involve deities, the absence of deities, or manmade ideals.

Atheist
You neither believe in higher powers nor observe an organized religion. This quirk most often works like Shocking Affectation (p. 15), earning -1 on reactions from people with disadvantages or quirks suggesting faith (e.g., Religious). Unlike other Beliefs, it’s more a catchall than a unified school of thought, so only those aware of why you made this choice are likely to react especially well or receive bonuses to manipulate you.


Philosophical
You take a particular worldly philosophy seriously and strive to live according to its principles. People familiar with its precepts sometimes have +1 to manipulate you – or you might roll at -1 to resist their efforts, earn -1 on reactions from opposed movements, or suffer -1 to self-control rolls if submitting to a disadvantage would be consistent with your ideals. When dealing with the local philosophical community, you enjoy +1 on reactions from peers who share your quirk and from its leaders, where applicable.

Be specific. You might pick “Stoic,” “Secularist,” “Marxist,” “Postmodernist,” or any of hundreds of other things. Political philosophies count; quirks like “Anarchist,” “Die-hard Republican,” and “Monarchist” are entirely valid.


Religious
You don’t have full-fledged Disciplines of Faith, Fanaticism, Intolerance (Religious), etc., but you take your faith seriously. You’ll try to avoid work (including adventuring!) on holy days, respect the clergy, contribute to the temple, and so forth. You always pray when expected.

Attempts to manipulate you through this behavior (e.g., to surprise you by attacking during prayer) – including almost any Influence roll made by a priest of your religion – are at +1. Alternatively, the GM may give you -1 on your roll to avoid this, especially if that’s a self-control roll for a disadvantage that aligns with your beliefs (many faiths preach virtues such as Charitable and Honesty). However, clergy who know you well react to you at +1, as do other Religious people in your congregation.

Specify your belief system when you take this quirk: “Observant Jew,” “Devout Catholic,” “Cultist of Azathoth,” etc.

「[[名誉重視>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Code_of_Honor]]」

• 「名誉重視」（Code of Honor）　p9

原書表記

Code of Honor
A minor Code of Honor (p. B127) can be a quirk, especially if it qualifies on one or more of the following counts:

Casual. Codes of conduct that apply only to sports, hobbies, or leisure activities – bowling, camping, ice hockey, poker, roleplaying, surfing, etc. – are always quirks.

Diluted. Selected aspects of disadvantage-level Codes (Gentleman’s, Chivalry, etc.) – e.g., exhibiting “gentlemanly” behavior toward all women – are quirks in a society that doesn’t expect such conduct of you. Many mercenaries dilute the fightor-die loyalty of Code of Honor (Soldier’s) to “Stays bought.”

Low-risk professional. Code of Honor (Professional) is just a quirk if deviating from it carries no risk of legal action or losing the right to practice. Most informal Codes that amount to “do my job well” qualify; e.g., Code of Honor (Pizza Deliveryman’s), unless you’re Hiro Protagonist. Even a formal Code counts if straying from it brings no fallout worse than losing a single client or a little pay.

Narrow. The strictest Code is just a quirk if it almost never applies. “My word is my bond” could be a serious disadvantage – but if it holds only when you give your word to leaders of very high Rank or Status, then its value is -1 point.

Your Code must still require behavior from you to be worth a point. As with similar quirks, the GM can invoke this to justify the occasional small penalty; e.g., an honorable card-player might have -1 to notice cheating, while a “gentlemanly” fellow may earn -1 on reactions from some feminists.

「[[杓子定規>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Legalistic]]」

• 「杓子定規?」（Legalistic）　p9

原書表記

Legalistic
Quirk-level Honesty (p. B138) – sort of. You must obey the letter of the law, though you may ignore the spirit to seek loopholes or suggest crimes to others, and you feel no obligation to keep your word unless contract-bound. To break a law outright, you must make a self-control roll at 12 or less; failure means that the consequences of disobeying worry you more than those of obeying, and you refuse.

This quirk is irrelevant in lawless settings!

「[[迷信>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Superstition]]」

• 「迷信?」（Superstition）　p.9

原書表記

Superstition
You truly believe that one particular small ritual or omen is lucky or unlucky. Spell it out: “Four-leafed clovers are lucky,” “Smashing a mirror is unlucky,” “Women are bad luck aboard ships,” etc. This might even be true in a supernatural-tinged campaign – it doesn’t have to be a Delusion (p. 17). This has no effect on your actions until it crosses your path on an adventure . . . at which point you’ll spend more time looking for fateful coincidences than at what’s in front of you.

This gives you -1 to DX, IQ, Per, and skill rolls (but not Will or active defense rolls!) until the Superstition proves true. If it concerns good luck, you have to succeed at “long odds” (a task where your final effective skill is 6 or worse) or score a critical success. If it’s about bad luck, you must fail at a “sure thing” (final effective skill of 14 or better) or roll a critical failure. Then the penalties vanish.

In a world where the Superstition is fact, all of this is in addition to its supernatural effects.

「[[誓い>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Vow]]」

• 「誓い」（Vow）　p.9

原書表記

Vow
A trivial Vow (p. B160) – e.g., always hold to the letter or the spirit of a contract (not both!), never drink alcohol, or pay 10% of your income to your church (or donate 10% of your crime proceeds to charity, for that matter) – is a quirk.

A Vow to avoid something that most ordinary people couldn’t or wouldn’t do is also trivial; in fact, it’s worth nothing unless it limits your career. For instance, “Never attack a dragon” would be reasonable for a fantasy knight, and “Never impersonate a law officer” would be valid for a con man, but not vice versa.

「[[故意の無知>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Willful_Ignorance]]」

• 「故意の無知?」（Willful Ignorance）　p.9

原書表記

Willful Ignorance
You accept an erroneous bit of hearsay, folk wisdom, or a fictional “realism” as fact; e.g., “Blondes are dumb,” “Dogs can’t look up,” or “A shotgun blast can knock down a man or clear an entire room.” You should roleplay this misconception whenever it would come up, but it isn’t a Delusion (p. 17) – you’re misinformed, not crazy – and the GM has options besides reaction penalties under suitable circumstances: he may “blindside” you by assessing -1 or +1 (whichever would inconvenience you more!) to some key roll. In the examples, a blonde might get +1 to almost any IQ-based roll made against you, a guard dog might receive +1 to find your hiding spot, or you might suffer -1 to hit with a shotgun when you burst in on a room full of bad guys.

「[[不利な特徴の亜種>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Disadvantage_Variations]]」

• 不利な特徴の亜種?（Disadvantage Variations）　p.9

原書表記

Disadvantages are grist for the quirk mill. Many traits in GURPS Power-Ups 6: Quirks are adapted from them, and a large fraction of those examples fall into the broad categories below. If you can’t find the quirk you want, select the disadvantage that comes closest and keep reading . . .

「[[不利な特徴の装飾>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Disadvantage_Embellishment]]」

• 不利な特徴の装飾?（Disadvantage Embellishment）　p.9

原書表記

Disadvantage Embellishment
A quirk can elaborate on how a full-blown disadvantage manifests. Additional detail is the most obvious possibility; e.g., “Particularly curious about intellectual puzzles” for Curious, “Says the exact opposite of the truth” alongside Compulsive Lying, or “Refuses to admit when the weather is bad” with Stubbornness.

Behavior that the disadvantage renders difficult but doesn’t forbid is also valid, and often more fun! Someone with Truthfulness might have “Lies (poorly) about his past,” while an Indecisive person could suffer from “Tries to be a good leader – usually fails.” Such quirks suggest interesting triggers for your disadvantages.

Yet another entertaining choice is conduct to avoid the disadvantage. For instance, people with Secrets often follow many small rituals to avoid discovery, and the quirk “Carefully measures all his drinks” commonly accompanies real-life Alcoholism.

You may have up to one such embellishment per full -5 points of disadvantage value. Each quirk gives the GM an extra “hook” where your problem is concerned. If you don’t play along, he may apply +1 or -1, whichever would be more inconvenient, to rolls that play on that shortcoming.

For example, if you always say the exact opposite of the truth, then someone who hears several of your lies might get +1 to Detect Lies – or you might suffer -1 to Fast-Talk with him. This is above and beyond your disadvantage’s built-in effects.

Example: You could gild Charitable (12) [-15] with “Always tosses coins to beggars,” “Gives free lollipops to kids,” and “Helps the elderly across the street,” and in effect get an extra 3 points for your disadvantage. However, if you don’t do those things whenever the GM places beggars, children, or old folks in your path, the GM may give such NPCs +1 to use Fast-Talk or Pickpocket on you, or reduce your self-control number to 11 where they’re concerned.

Two common embellishments from fiction work slightly differently.

「[[容貌変化>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Appearance_Change]]」

原書表記

Appearance Change
Prerequisites: Antisocial disadvantage with self-control roll and Monstrous or better Appearance.

You have a disadvantage that, when you give in, causes your Appearance to drop by one level while you act out on it – whether because you sneer evilly or are under a curse. This embellishment is traditional for Bad Temper, Bully, and Sadism, but the GM may allow it for other problems where submission doesn’t imply violence that would render reaction rolls irrelevant (ruling out Berserk, Bloodlust, and Uncontrollable Appetite).

Involuntary Ability Use
Prerequisites: Antisocial disadvantage with self-control roll and a suitable ability.

You have a disadvantage that, when you submit, causes you to activate a disturbing or destructive advantage: Alternate Form, Innate Attack, Terror, etc. This isn’t grounds for Uncontrollable (p. B116); injury, Fright Checks, and other mental disadvantages cannot trigger your gift, and it doesn’t have a mind of its own. It’s just that when you give in to one specific problem, you reflexively make a show of power.

原書表記

Easily Suppressed Disadvantage
A -5-point mental disadvantage with a self-control roll of 15 is worth -2 points. If the GM can “force” the problem on you only on a critically failed self-control roll (17 or 18), then it’s just a quirk. While unpleasant game-mechanical effects (bad reactions, wasted resources, etc.) depend on the dice like this, you’re expected to roleplay the behavior whenever appropriate.
Failure to do so may result in “bad roleplaying” penalties.

Some examples, with suggested names:

Compulsive Carousing: “Enjoys carousing,” “Party animal,” “Social.”

Compulsive Gambling: “Enjoys Gambling,” “Likes bets,” “Likes games of chance.”

Compulsive Generosity: “Generous,” “Magnanimous,” “Munificent.”

Compulsive Spending: “Big spender,” “Displays wealth ostentatiously,” “Shopaholic.”

Compulsive Vowing: “Oath-taker,” or something colorful like “Swears by Allah’s beard” or “Swears on his father’s grave.”

Curious: “Inquisitive,” “Nosy” (p. 20), “Prying.”

Gluttony: “Fond of food and drink,” “Gourmand,” “Likes to eat.”

Incurious: “Staid” (p. 20), “Unquestioning.”

Loner: “Aloof,” “Keeps to self,” “Prefers being alone,” “Solitary,” “Uncongenial” (p. 20), “Unfriendly.”

Nightmares: “Bad dreams.”

Overconfidence: “Audacious,” “Bold,” “Confident.”

Pyromania: “Firebug,” “Likes fire.”

Selfish: “Conceited,” “Haughty,” “Pompous,” “Proud” (p. 20), “Snobby,” “Snooty,” “Status-conscious,” “Vainglorious” . . . this is a common quirk!

Selfless: “Altruistic,” “Humble” (p. 19), “Unselfish.”

Truthfulness: “Forthright,” “Ingenuous,” “Sincere.”

The GM might allow this option even for disadvantages that don’t offer self-control rolls. Since such traits’ point values assume a problem that’s always inconvenient – not one that’s resisted with a self-control roll of 12 or less – a self-control roll of 15 (not the 16 implied above) is fairest here. Alternatively, weaken the disadvantage in other ways; for examples, see Congenial (p. 17), Determined (p. 18), Dorky (p. 18), Dull (p. 18),
Insensitive (p. 19), Math-Shy (p. 31), and Responsible (p. 20).

「[[非常に限定的な不利な特徴>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Extremely_Limited_Disadvantage]]」

原書表記

Extremely Limited Disadvantage
Any disadvantage is worth just -1 point if the situations, actions, or people that trigger it are uncommon enough that it affects you only once every few play sessions. It’s good roleplaying to talk about or pointedly avoid discussing the problem (your choice). However, there are no game effects most
of the time.

This isn’t the same as Easily Suppressed Disadvantage (above), which rarely matters because you almost never give in. Your self-control roll here – for problems that allow one – is against 12. An Extremely Limited Disadvantage is a quirk because you rarely have to roll in the first place.

For disadvantages that come in levels, such as Shyness, the effect is that of the mildest form. However, the GM may ramp up the severity in especially intense incidents. If the trigger is extraordinarily rare (once every few adventures), the GM is within his rights to enforce a higher level whenever the
quirk arises.

Examples:

Absent-Mindedness: You don’t suffer the disadvantage’s general
effects, just the IQ-2 roll to remember one particular thing.
Be specific: “Forgets to reload his guns,” “Leaves doors
unlocked,” “Misplaces car keys,” etc.

Alcoholism: You overindulge under specific circumstances –
binging and suffering the bad effects – but you don’t have to
roll in the presence of all alcohol, for withdrawal, or for longterm
decline. You may link this to events (“Hits the bottle
after killing”) or a type of drink (“Gets drunk on good wine”).

Amnesia: One specific memory is missing. Time limits like
“Can’t recall the summer of ’67” are a common choice. For
a memory that has been replaced, pick False Memory (p. 17)
instead.

Bad Smell: At quirk level, this gives -1 to reactions around people
who dislike a scent that you happen to like; e.g., “Always
wears perfume.” An odor that identifies you to others is a
Dead Giveaway (pp. 13-14). You can have both!

Bad Temper: Only toward those who comment on your baldness,
height, weight, age, etc. (“Sensitive about her age”),
point out a disadvantage (“Gets angry when treated differently
due to One Eye”), level a specific criticism (“Dislikes
being called a liar”), flirt with you (“Reacts poorly to flirtation”),
and so on.

Bloodlust: Only when seeking vengeance against someone who
seriously wounded you (“An eye for an eye”).

Bully: Only toward those who’ve wronged you in the past
(“Holds a grudge”).

Callous: Only toward people under 12 years of age (“Bad with
children”), only toward those over 65 years of age (“Bad
with the elderly”), etc.

Compulsive Lying: Only about the time needed to do a task – a
common quirk of starship engineers. At this level, your
lying is more “fudging” or “bending the truth.”

Cowardice: Only concerning one narrow class of foes or dangers:
“Afraid of masters of Western Dragon kung fu,”
“Apprehensive of steep climbs,” etc.

Frightens Animals: Only affects one specific group, usually a
single species: “Bad with dogs,” “Terrifies horses,” etc.
Gluttony: Only with respect to a particular class of foodstuffs:
“Consumes vast quantities of cheese,” “Likes good ale,”
“Sweet tooth,” etc.

Greed: Only regarding a particular treasure or form of payment
(“Insists on being paid in gold”), only on the stock market, etc.

Honesty: You feel compelled to obey specific laws; e.g., “Always
obeys traffic regulations,” “Stickler about customs law,” or
“Won’t violate Pyle County ordinances.” This is too narrow
to earn a reaction bonus.

Jealousy: Only where your current love interest is concerned,
only with respect to one person whom you envy above all
others, or only in one category (brains, speed, strength,
wealth, etc.).

Kleptomania: Only when it comes to snatching one specific
item about as broad as a Like (p. 26): “Pockets candy bars,”
“Shoplifts rock ’n’ roll discs,” “Steals knives,” etc.
Miserliness: Only when shopping for a particular class of
things; e.g., “Haggles over vehicles,” “Buys the cheapest
ammo,” or “Won’t buy expensive computers.”

No Sense of Humor: Only with respect to “lowbrow” physical
humor and jackassery . . . or only regarding “highbrow” wit
that requires a university degree to understand.

Odious Personal Habit: A -5-point Odious Personal Habit is a
quirk if it applies only in rarified situations but offends everybody
when it does emerge. Specify the condition: “Laughs
like a hyena at jokes,” “Pedantic about spelling,” etc.

Overconfidence: Only toward unusual challenges (“Overestimates
his skill at siege warfare”) or opponents with specific
traits (“Underestimates those with Fanaticism”), or only
regarding one specific task (“Overconfident driver,” “Overconfident
sniper,” etc.).

Pacifism: Only toward a specific group (“Won’t fight fellow
West Point graduates”) or expressed in a narrow way (“Uses
less-lethal weapons whenever possible”).

Paranoia: Only with respect to a specific group: “Distrusts
socialists,” “Doesn’t trust soldiers,” “Thinks snow-plow drivers
are plotting against him,” etc.

Phobia: Almost any Phobia counts if only a tiny subset of
things can trigger it; e.g., fear of weapons is a disadvantage
(Hoplophobia), but fear of poisoned arrows is a
quirk. Contrast this with Dislike (p. 26), which is far
broader but doesn’t cause Fright Checks.

Selfish: Only concerning one specific facet of social dominance.
The GM may insist that you have a hope in hell of
achieving that goal – “Covets the throne” is a fair quirk for
a Status 6 prince or even a Status 5 duke, but a Delusion
(p. 17) for anyone else.

Sense of Duty: Sense of Duty to an individual is worth -2 points.
Halve this to a quirk if it’s qualified with something like
“when it suits my interests” or “in combat.” The GM is free
to penalize earned points when you don’t put that person
first under the specified circumstances, but you may favor
yourself or someone else the rest of the time.

Shyness: Only around Attractive (or better) members of
one sex.

Stuttering: Only around Attractive (or better) members of
one sex.

Truthfulness: Only toward monarchs, presidents, and other
national leaders.

Unluckiness: Only in a specific sphere: “Bad luck at gambling,”
“Star-crossed lover,” “Unlucky at driving,” etc.
General Unluckiness can have an optional theme, but this
is a hard-and-fast one that doesn’t often arise; you aren’t
generally unlucky.

Workaholic: Only on the clock – you take enough time off to
avoid reaction penalties but always say “yes” to paid overtime,
allowing your boss (played by the GM) to buy up to 4
hours/day of potential study time off you for extra wages.

原書表記

Mirror-Image Disadvantages
While you cannot have two full-sized disadvantages that are opposites – because one obviates the other – you can take such a pairing as a single quirk. This doesn’t work like Manic-Depressive or Split Personality, where serious problems take turns afflicting you; that’s worth more than a point. In this case, you normally experience no bad effects . . . but in a situation where either disadvantage could apply, roll 3d. On 17-18, one facet gets out of balance (flip a coin or roll a die) and you suffer its effects, for good or for ill.

Good examples would be “Mercurial ally” (Chummy/Loner) and “Self-centered and altruistic by turns” (Selfish/Selfless).
Although pairs of -5-point disadvantages such as these work best, that isn’t a strict requirement.

「[[軽減された不利な特徴>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Mitigated_Disadvantage]]」

原書表記

Mitigated Disadvantage
A disadvantage negated completely by treatments available anywhere in the setting at almost no expense and with negligible effort – conditions that go well beyond Mitigator (p. B112) – is just a quirk. This best suits backgrounds where ultra-tech or superscience has altered the drinking water or atmosphere, spread ubiquitous memes that cure mental conditions, etc., or where potent magic protects the whole world.
It’s worth a point only if travel or imprisonment could isolate you from whatever masks your problem. Should that happen, the GM determines the condition’s severity.

「[[特殊的癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Exotic_Quirks]]」

原書表記

EXOTIC QUIRKS
These quirks are subject to the restrictions on exotic disadvantages (p. B120). Most have one of the following explanations:
• Hard-wired properties of a nonhuman racial template: alien, robot, undead, etc. In general, these can’t be bought off or replaced.
• Superhuman powers. Quirks in other categories may qualify, too; see Power Quirks (below) and Supernatural Quirks (pp. 33-34). Only people with suitable gifts can have them, and the GM may make some quirks mandatory with certain abilities, though experienced users might eventually buy them off.
• Ultra-tech, especially nanotechnology and cybernetics.
The GM may allow – even require – ordinary humans to possess such quirks if they have suitable tech “built in.”

Affected by Magnetism
Unlike beings composed of meat, rock, pure energy, etc., you’re affected by influences such as junkyard magnets and magnetic super-powers. This implies many small side effects; e.g., you always set off metal detectors.

This quirk is for characters made of ferromagnetic metals: robots, vehicles, and so on. It’s more than a 0-point feature (unlike most “Affected by” traits) because magnetism has widespread technological applications.


Cannot Float
You always sink in water. This is most applicable to machines, but might also afflict fantasy races or result from a curse.

Nano-Fever
This is hot flushes and fatigue caused by two or more different sorts of nanomachines working and possibly interacting in your body. You become feverish whenever the GM rules that multiple varieties of nano must operate in concert, and will lose 1 FP per active nano type in excess of a GM-defined “safe level.” Fatigue Points lost in this way cannot be regained until the situation ends. Deactivating or removing the nanobots will end the bout of nano-fever.


Obvious
You stand out to one particular sense at all times, giving enemies +1 to Sense rolls or you -1 to Stealth rolls, depending on the circumstances. This is effectively a “half level” of Noisy (p. B146), generalized to senses other than hearing. A good example common to many animals would be “Musk,” affecting the sense of smell.


Pressure Intolerance
Your lungs and other organs can handle a narrower range of atmospheric pressures than an ordinary human’s. Referring to Atmospheric Pressure (pp. B429-430):

Low-Pressure Intolerance: Treat “thin” as “very thin,” and “very thin” or less as “trace.”

High-Pressure Intolerance: Treat “dense” as “very dense,” and “very dense” or more as “superdense.” These quirks are almost always racial, and only allowed in campaigns where PCs are likely to visit places that have such atmospheres.


Unwelcome Accessory
Your body incorporates a troublesome Accessory (p. B100) that you cannot control or (easily) remove, and that occasionally interferes with your actions. It shouldn’t be potentially lethal, like a bomb you can’t defuse; if you could build it as a full-fledged disadvantage, do so. Save this quirk for inconvenient and embarrassing gizmos. Some examples:
• A defective Accessory with consequences equivalent to another quirk; e.g., a broken bullhorn that gives Loud Voice (p. 16), faulty nanotech that periodically causes Nano-Fever (p. 12), or a flickering light that renders you Obvious (p. 13). Any busted gadget might hang there as Dead Weight (p. 22), require Care (p. 22) to avoid real problems, or malfunction badly enough to lead to Aches and Pains (p. 22) or Minor Handicap (p. 23).
• An article that enemies could use against you. Something like a big handle might give them +2 to ST rolls if they grapple you and +2 to Knot-Tying if they tie you up.
• Anything that would be illegal or immoral and that doesn’t do you any good: a gun that’s hopelessly broken, an embarrassingly large sex toy that you cannot conceal, etc. Model the effects on Distinctive Features (p. 14) or Shocking Affectation (p. 15).
• Something that interferes with your equipment, such as a magnet that throws off your compass or a jammer that blocks your radio.

原書表記

Power Quirks
GURPS Powers describes “special effects” that amount to 0% modifiers for individual superhuman gifts as “quirks.” It also notes that exotic capabilities may have trivial drawbacks, giving the wielder a small penalty or his opponents a modest bonus when he activates them. These, too, are termed “quirks.” Neither sort of “quirk” is worth a point, as abilities are expected to have such features.

However, when advantages are grouped into a power, the entire assemblage might demonstrate a foible that’s neither specific to one ability nor triggered by use – a fulltime oddity that the wielder cannot avoid simply by not using his gifts. Serious drawbacks are grounds to incorporate a Nuisance Effect (p. B112) into the power modifier.
Anything less is a quirk.
Examples:

● Aches and Pains (p. 22), Can Be Turned By True Faith (pp. 33-34), Compulsion (pp. 27-28), Damned (p. 34), Name-Bound (p. 34), Supernatural Dislike (p. 34), Supernatural Features (p. 34), Trivial Destiny (p. 34), and nasty mental quirks suit dark powers involving something like black magic or evil, representing costs to the user’s body, mind, or soul.
● Bulky Frame (p. 22), Cannot Float (p. 12), Clumsy Runner (p. 22), Dead Weight (p. 22), and Overweight (p. 23) befit supers with density-control powers.
● Eavesdropper (p. 28) is apropos for powers such as ESP and telepathy, provided that the intrusion is noticeable.
● External Mood Influence (p. 18) tied to the sea or the weather is a classic for people with water or air powers, respectively.
● Hungry (p. 23), Shaky Hands (p. 24), and Twitchy (p. 25) are common among super-speedsters.
● Obvious (above) is widespread among supers: a soft glow for light powers, an audible hum for sound powers, and so on.
● Photosensitivity (p. 24) and Sunburns Easily (p. 24) often accompany powers involving darkness or vampirism.
● Slightly Unusual Biochemistry (p. 24) and Tests Positive for (Condition) (p. 25) could result from any power with biological origins.

Such traits are as physical or as mental, and as mundane or as supernatural, as the associated powers. They’re also part of the power, shut down or amplified alongside it.
Sometimes the power-user can buy them off as he gains experience with his gifts – but not always!

Not all Power Quirks fit into existing categories. If a Nuisance Effect is easily avoided, the GM may permit it only as a quirk. For instance, somebody with fire powers might have to roll vs. Will to avoid igniting anything Highly Flammable or Super-Flammable (p.B433) on contact.
Since he never has to handle ether, dry tinder, etc. – and gets a Will roll even then – “Spontaneous combustion” is just a quirk.

• ドレスコード?（Dress Codes）　p.13

「[[ドレスコード>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Dress_Codes]]」

原書表記

Dress Codes
Unless your race doesn’t wear clothing, merely dressing doesn’t count as a quirk. As everybody has preferences, neither do habits such as “Wears black” (or blue, pink, or any other color) or “Tucks in his shirt.” To be worth a point, a sartorial preference must take the form of one of these quirks:

● Dead Giveaway (below). Examples: “Always dresses like a kandi raver, complete with glowsticks”; “Wears a jester’s outfit covered in bells.”
● Epitome (p. 14). Example: “Always dresses traditionally.”
● Expensive Habit (p. 28). Examples: “Clothes horse”; “Dresses like James Bond.” If your race normally goes naked, “Wears clothing” does count – you’ll end up spending money on something you don’t need!
● Overcautious Habit (p. 30). Example: “Never takes off his armor.”
● Risk-Taking Behavior (p. 30). Examples: “Never wears a helmet”; “Wears a cape, even though opponents could grab it.”
● Shocking Affectation (p. 15). Examples: “Dresses skimpily”; “Wears the robes of the Baby-Sacrificing Necromancer Lords.”
● Stereotype (p. 16). Example: “Dresses like hip-hop artists in music videos.”
● Token (p. 16). Example: “Always wears a lucky hat.”

You must always dress this way to claim a quirk. Anybody might have a fancy suit, traditional clothing, ninja pajamas, etc.; what makes you special is that you insist on wearing it! At a minimum, your preference should be serious enough to force associates to make regular Disguise rolls to undo its effects.

Dress implied by convictions (pp. 8-9) – e.g., the uniform of a soldier with Code of Honor or the vestments of a Religious priest – isn’t a separate quirk unless it’s remarkable even among those who share your outlook.

「[[見た目とマナー>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Looks_and_Mannerisms]]」

LOOKS AND MANNERISMS
These traits affect others’ impressions of you – what they notice and how you come across, especially at first. Some would be equally at home under Physical Quirks (pp. 22-25), while others are mental in character, but that’s negotiable. Someone might don Cosmetic Eyeglasses and affect a Loud Voice out of habit, and bring both foibles along if his mind were placed in a new body; another person might have the same traits as genuine quirks of physiology. Specify this when you take the quirk!

This is a catchall category for minor personality traits and psychiatric problems that don’t fit neatly beneath Convictions (pp. 8-9), Looks and Mannerisms (pp. 13-14), Preferences and Aversions (pp. 25-27), Preoccupations (pp. 27-30), or Skill Quirks (pp. 30-32). Most are simply examples of Disadvantage Variations (pp. 9-12).

All of these quirks go with the mind rather than the body, where important. They can be changed or bought off over time, but the GM might require psychotherapy or a major psychological shock before allowing this.


Attentive
You tend to stick to one task until it’s done. You get +1 when working on lengthy tasks, but -3 to notice any important interruption!


Broad-Minded
Quirk-level Xenophilia (p. B162). You get along well with other races and species, and unusual looks rarely bother you.
Anyone who seems to be foreign or alien gets +1 to manipulate you (for PCs, this often affects the rolls under Influencing the PCs, p. B359) and gives you -1 to rolls against Per and Detect Lies, for Empathy, etc. to divine devious actions on their part.
You enjoy +1 on Fright Checks when meeting strange creatures, however.


Careful
Quirk-level Cowardice (p. B129). You’re naturally cautious, always on the lookout for danger. You should dedicate extra time and money to preparations before venturing into danger.
If you don’t, only to find yourself caught unprepared in a situation where someone with full Cowardice would have to make a self-control roll, your tentativeness gives you -1 to DX, IQ, Will, skill, and self-control rolls (but not Per or active defense rolls!) while you stick around.


Chauvinistic
An extremely low level of broad-based Intolerance (p. B140). You’re always aware of differences in sex, skin color, etc. even if you don’t actually react poorly to others.
Thin-skinned individuals might occasionally react to you at -1 as a result.


Congenial
Quirk-level Chummy (p. B126). You like company and you work well with others. You always choose group action over individual action. When alone, roll 1d before you attempt any IQ-based task. On 5-6, your rolls for that task are at -1 because you feel unhappy and distracted.

Equally good names for this quirk would be “Extrovert,” “Friendly,” and “Outgoing.”


Cyclothymic
Quirk-level Manic-Depressive (p. B143). Your moods swing between mild mania and depression. Roll 1d daily. On 1-3, the day brings Mind-Numbing Magnetism (p. 15) such as Enthusiastic, Optimistic, or Talkative. On 4-6, you have a quirk-level Odious Personal Habit (p. 20) like Depressing, Melancholy, or Pessimistic.


Decisive
While you don’t suffer from Impulsiveness, you take charge and render judgment the moment you learn the details of a situation.
When working in a team of which you aren’t the legitimate leader, teammates’ reactions toward you – and their self-control rolls for Bad Temper and Selfish where you’re concerned – are at -1. The actual leader has -2.

On the upside, if you are the leader, your underlings’ loyalty checks (p. B519) under pressure are at +1.


Delusion
You may take a completely trivial Delusion (p. B130) as a quirk. This doesn’t affect your everyday behavior and isn’t likely to be noticed by casual acquaintances. However, you must believe it and act accordingly when the subject arises – there’s no self-control roll! This merits the occasional -1 on reactions.

Examples: “The Earth is flat”; “The Pentagon controls the Boy Scouts and the health food stores”; “Socks cause diseases of the feet”; “UFOs really exist.”

Two special classes of quirk-level Delusions are common among adventurers.


Delusional Competence
Rather than having Incompetence (p. 31) at a skill and knowing it, you believe you’re an expert at a skill you lack. You must buy off this quirk in order to spend points on that skill.
Someone who has Incompetence (Navigation) can’t learn Navigation and rolls at -4 on his default. Someone with Delusional Competence (Navigation) won’t “waste time” studying Navigation – and while he enjoys his unpenalized default, he lies or refuses to talk about his imaginary skills.

Any failed skill roll that affects NPCs – be it for a test, a job application, or practical use – is reasonable grounds for a reaction roll or a loyalty check (p. B519). When someone with Delusional Competence tries his default and fails, his lying and defensiveness about his proficiency give an extra -1 on these rolls, or -2 if he critically failed.

Like Incompetence, this affects all specialties of a given skill and isn’t permitted for skills that aren’t relevant to the campaign.


False Memory
You have a fake memory that covers for a real one. This is trivial, obscuring a single, relatively minor incident; e.g., you missed a test, your third-grade teacher’s name was Ms.
Weishaupt, or you owned a tin model of the Roswell saucer as a kid in 1937.

To make this Delusion relevant, the GM may have it crop up unexpectedly. It might trigger alarm bells while you’re being interviewed for a security clearance (-1 to rolls to pass the test), make you look crazy around old acquaintances (the usual -1 on reactions), or worsen a scary situation (not causing a Fright Check, but giving -1 to one that affects everybody).
If the GM can’t think of a way to use the memory, it isn’t a valid quirk.

For more severe versions, see GURPS Horror, p. 24.

「[[好き嫌い>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Preferences_and_Aversions]]」

• 好き嫌い?（Preferences and Aversions）　p.25

原書表記

In the eyes of many people, nothing defines someone so strongly as what he loves and loathes, adores and avoids. Such inclinations are classic quirks! Unlike Mental Quirks (pp. 17-20) – which are broad and often vague personality traits – preferences and aversions concern specific activities, people, and things.

Observing someone, interviewing him or his close associates, etc. is likely to reveal these kinds of quirks. If they aren’t obvious at the moment, the GM might require a skill roll to gather information (using Interrogation, Observation, etc.) and/or analyze it (often against Psychology or Intelligence Analysis). Success opens up the possibility of taking advantage of the subject by dangling the object of his preference or aversion in front of him, or placing him in a situation where his predictable behavior works against him.

Optionally, the GM may permit exploitation of any psychological quirk, although fuzzier ones like Disciplined (p. 18), Dreamer (p. 18), and Staid (p. 20) might always require observation and a skill roll first.

「[[性的少数派の癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Alternative_Sexuality_Quirks]]」

• 性的少数派の癖?（Alternative Sexuality Quirks）　p.26

原書表記

Alternative Sexuality Quirks
　 If the individuals to whom you’re sexually attracted – or the acts you get up to in private – place you in a minority in a society where this isn’t grounds for a full-fledged Social Stigma, you may claim a quirk. It’s worth a point because even if you don’t experience widespread discrimination, you’ll suffer up to -3 to reactions from certain people if they find out. The usual suspects are those with moralistic and religious varieties of Fanaticism and Intolerance (even at quirk level).

　 Taking such a quirk means that you’re “out” as gay in a predominantly straight society (or vice versa), exclusive about gender and/or activity in a pansexual one, asexual in a remarkably promiscuous one, or something similar. In a setting with multiple sapient species, openly preferring a species different from your own may count, whether you’re a human who pursues Martians or a god who lusts after mortals. For a “closeted” sexuality, take a Pretense (p. 33) that transforms into this quirk once you “come out.”

　 The issue of whether this is a learned preference, an inborn mental quirk, or a hard-wired physical trait is a sensitive one. The choice is left to the player. For instance, cross-dressing because that’s your sexual identity is an Alternative Sexuality quirk, but doing so strictly as a matter of fashion – independent of how you conduct your love life – is a Shocking Affectation (p. 15).

A preoccupation is an obsessive preference. The advice under Preferences and Aversions (pp. 25-27) for handling the discovery and exploitation of quirks still applies. The difference is that here the emphasis is on the behavior as much as the thing – all of these quirks could be seen as facets of an “addictive personality.”

• アルコール関係の癖?（Alcohol-Related Quirks）　p.29

「[[アルコール関係の癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Alcohol-Related_Quirks]]」

原書表記

Alcohol-Related Quirks
No intoxicant is as storied as alcohol. Drunkenness and alcoholism are fertile ground for quirks, provided that the gaming group is comfortable with stories that include these themes. Specific examples appear below, and several other quirks could be adapted to the cause: drinking can exacerbate Nervous Stomach (p. 25), trigger Personality Change (p. 20), and eventually cause Shaky Hands (p. 24); a common Vow (p. 9) is never to drink alcohol; and Alcoholism can be Extremely Limited (pp. 10-11) and support all manner of Disadvantage Embellishments (pp. 9-10).

The GM should review Alcoholism (p. B122) and Drinking and Intoxication (pp. B439-440) before allowing these quirks. Similar traits might exist for other intoxicants.

Alcohol Intolerance
Alcohol “goes right to your head.” You become intoxicated much more quickly than normal. You get -2 on any HT roll related to drinking.

Former Alcoholic
You used to have Alcoholism, but you’ve shed the addiction so successfully that you don’t have to roll to resist booze if it’s offered – you really have learned to handle things. However, being teetotal is sometimes socially inconvenient, and you may get slightly twitchy or terse in the presence of drink (-1 to selfcontrol rolls).

Friendly Drunk
Whenever you’re tipsy (p. B428), instead of applying the -1 to IQ to your Will when you resist Influence rolls, apply the same -2 you have on self-control rolls. When you’re drunk, Will to resist others’ manipulations is at -4 rather than the usual -2. The deeper you are into your cups, the more trusting you are of others – even relative to other drunks.

Horrible Hangovers
You suffer an additional -3 to any penalties the GM assesses for excessive drinking the previous evening, and add three hours to hangover duration.

Minor Alcoholism
By the book, Alcoholism is worth -15 or -20 points. Yet countless fictional characters drink too much with few effects beyond joviality. In a larger-than-life campaign, the GM might permit a cheap, legal Addiction without the special -5 points for “insidious” or the assumption that the drinker always drinks to incapacitation (although booze has its usual effect if he does!) – it mostly leads to spending too much on liquor, an Expensive Habit (p. 28). Give the resulting quirk a euphemistic name like “Hits the bottle,” “Likes his drink,” or “Lush” to distinguish it.

Sleepy Drinker
Booze makes you fall asleep. Whenever you drink, you must make a Will roll alongside each HT or Carousing roll. Failure means you fall asleep, and will stay that way until awakened or you get a full night’s sleep.

• 技能的癖?（Skill Quirks）　p.30

「[[技能的癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Skill_Quirks]]」

原書表記

These traits limit skills or groups of skills. Any quirk might give occasional penalties to skill rolls, but these ones represent full-time flaws in specific areas, most often due to inadequate instruction or an “anti-Talent.”

Unless the GM rules otherwise, changing or removing these quirks requires remedial education. Skill-affecting quirks that can’t be “cured” this way have been placed in other categories.
For instance, Delusional Competence (p. 17) and Inappropriate Manner (pp. 14-15) usually call for psychotherapy or public embarrassment, College Incompetence (p. 34) and Rule of 15 (p. 34) often demand supernatural remedies, and buying off Point-Spending Quirks (p. 21) is a matter of getting the GM’s permission to spend one extra point.

「[[社会的癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Social_Quirks]]」

• 社会的癖?（Social Quirks）　p.32

原書表記

　Unlike most quirks, these are imposed from without. Somebody dislikes you or wants something from you, or would act that way if the truth came out. In most cases, changing such traits requires you to negotiate with others – you can’t simply wake up and decide that you no longer owe a favor, or that no one will treat you differently after you reveal a secret.

　Social quirks are “story hooks” that cause fewer disruptions than full-blown Duties, Dependents, and Enemies, and that don’t force the GM to puzzle out how NPCs react to a group of PCs with mixed Reputations and Social Stigmas. Although quirks that aren’t foibles of mind or body might seem odd, they’re often better characterization aids than “traditional” quirks.

「[[超自然的癖>GURPS Power-Ups 6：Quirks#Supernatural_Quirks]]」

• 超自然的癖?（Supernatural Quirks）　p.33

原書表記

These quirks concern matters such as chi, psi, magic, and higher powers. Standard explanations are:

● Curses. A curse might inflict many other quirks besides those below – for instance, Distinctive Features (p. 14), False Memory (p. 17), or Forbidden Word (p. 16) – or show up as Tests Positive for (Condition) (p. 25). Casting off cursed quirks traditionally calls for a quest.

● Drawbacks of supernatural abilities. Quirks in other categories may qualify, too; see Exotic Quirks (pp. 12-13) and Power Quirks (p. 12), and also Involuntary Ability Use (p. 10) and Personality Change (p. 20). The GM decides what shortcomings accompany what gifts, and whether they can be removed with practice.

● Racial traits for faeries, werewolves, zombies, etc. Again, other quirks may count. Magical races often suffer from Appearance Change (p. 10) tied to racial disadvantages, odd Compulsions (pp. 27-28), and External Mood Influences (p. 18); zombies have Glimpses of Clarity (p. 19) regarding their former lives, and Involuntary Utterance (p. 16). Racial quirks are normally permanent.

Neither Superstition (p. 9) nor Token (p. 16) qualifies, however – these are about belief, and any supernatural side would be a separate quirk or disadvantage.
