[QUOTE="pming, post: 8493822, member: 45197"] Hiya! Once again... HM4e Players Handbook, pg 98, "Quirk Descriptions (Personality): Multiple Personality Disorder". Also, [I]IF YOU ARE A CERTIFIED HACKMASTER GM!!![/I], suggestions on how to run it (GMG pg 68). Do that. :) For those poor souls who don't yet know the perfection of Hackmaster 4th Edition (that means the first one produced, not the latest version), MPD works like this: The Player has at least 1 extra personality, as rolled on the Extra Personality Table.
