Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maidhc O Casain" data-source="post: 3771191" data-attributes="member: 29558">Just so everyone knows exactly what they're getting into if they choose this option:The Disadvantages are exactly as the Queen listed them:You will be compelled to serve the best interests of the one who holds your bond (no choice about that)You can be forced to act, through the bond (basically, a Mind Control strong enough that it is impossible to resist)You must be bonded to one of the CéaDaoine, or you will lose your will to live (your EGO), sicken, and die.The advantages are these:You will get 4 Character Points each to add to your BODY, CON, and END.  For most of you, this will equate to an increase of two to each of the primary characteristics.  If you are already at the 'Max' of 20, the increase will only be one because the cost doubles.  It works out a little differently for END because the max is different and the cost is 1/2 CP per END point.  This boost will push some of you past the original 75 CP limit I placed on Characteristics, which is fine.You will get +2 to your Ego Combat Value (ECV), only for defense against attempts to seduce/bribe/etc. you.  This is the mechanical interpretation of the incorruptability of the Laoch.Once a month, you can 'Battle Boost' (the in game term for this is, of course, a Gaelic word).  You get a 5d6 Aid to your STR and BODY (roll 5d6, each '1' adds nothing, each '2' through '5' adds one, and each '6' adds two to the characteristic) and a 2d6 Aid to your Move speed.I'm attaching a PDF with all of the appropriate terms and mechanics, for those who are interested.</blockquote>
