Sorry, despite quoting the rules I still don’t know what a ‘best interest’ is? I get that they should be used to target PCs but what are they?
I’m not trying to be obtuse. The phrase itself is someone ambiguous. I feel like the quoted test seems to assume I know what this phrase should mean.
They sound like what Hero System calls complications (disadvantages in older editions.).
Complications are things you choose at character generation to be things of "interest" to the character. They should be things the player wants to interact with. They can be things the character wants to achieve "Marry the princess" or "Get rich" or "find a cure for the curse." They can be things the character wants to avoid; "Avoid personal danger at all costs" or "disappointing Uncle Ben." Could be ongoing issues like "owes a debt (bank or crimelord) and must do what is asked of them whenever it's called in." They can also be physical weaknesses likes "takes double damage from Kryptonite."
