[Modern]Bonuses by State?

[Dirigible]

We don't formally divide NZ into states, provinces or suchlike,but that don't mean the differences ain't there

Aucklander
+2 Cha: As a multicultural city, Aucklanders are able tog et on well with others without punhcing them in the gob of throwing rocks at them or calling them filthy foreign devils. Mostly.
-2 Con: Us sissy northerner's just aren't as tough as Real Southern Men.

-4 penalty to all social interactions with non-Aucklander New Zealanders. Gosh, you'd think they'd be greatful to us for raising the standard of the country, but nooooooo...

+2 Craft (Latte): An Aucklander without a cup of fancy coffee in his hand is like a sandwich without kittens.

+2 to saves vs rain, humidity, dampness, rain, moisture, wetness, rain, rain, precipitation and rain.

Low-light Vision: We do have electricity, oh yes. It's what you''d call alternating current. Some days there's current, others...

HEY!
we get a bonus to drive too!
And what the, we do not have a -2 penalty to charisma!

you're totally right. it should be -4

And i totally agree with the stats for Northern California save for the fact that the proper abbreviation is NorCal =)

Oh, and we should probably have a negative dex mod too, seeing as the most motion we get is from the wrists down...

*cough*horsepatootie*cough*

I'd say -6 to drive and -4 charisma penalty outside of their home city, to be fair.

Utah

+2 Wisdom, -2 Dexterity. Utahns have developed great patience from dealing with the hordes of Californians that migrate to Utah every year, but Utahns are lousy drivers.

+2 bonus to Survival checks; the first day of the deer hunt is practically a state holiday in Utah.

-2 penalty to drive checks. Even the most calm and patient Utahn can turn into a road rage machine when they're behind the wheel.

+2 bonus to Profession (Cooking: Dutch Oven) checks.

 

[blackshirt5]

Shouldn't Utah residents also get Diplomacy penalties when mistaken for Mormons?

And New Yorkers get -10 to Drive and -4 to Charisma.

 

[AFGNCAAP]

Surprised this one hasn't popped up yet . . .


TEXAS

+2 Str, -2 Dex. Add an additional die type to height & weight rolls. Things are bigger in Texas, but not necessarily faster.

+2 bonus to Intelligence checks when trying to understand Spanish or Tex-Mex terms/words.

+2 to Fortitude saves against alcohol or spicy Tex-Mex entrees.

+2 bonus to Wealth rolls when purchaing any sort of truck or firearm.

May select one of the following feats for free:
* Skill Focus (Knowledge--football)
* Exotic Weapon Proficiency (chainsaw)

State Identity: Many Texans are proud to be from Texas, and regard their state identity as strongly (if not more so) than their national identity. Any bonuses gained from inspiration or morale are doubled for a Texan if the method used calls upon some aspect of Texan identity (e.g., "Remember the Alamo!" or "Gig `em, Aggies!"). This effect is tripled (instead of doubled) if the method used also has a Texas flag, shape of the state, or some combination thereof visible to all Texans within range.


There ya go. Yep.

South Carolinians

-2 WIS, +2 CHA. We may not be the brightest bulb on the Christmas Tree, but we shore grows 'em purtty down here on the Grand Strand.

All south Carolinians, being born with firearms in hand from the womb, and gun racks being required equipment for all State Driving Tests, get a +1 bonus to hit with firearms, but no other ranged weapons.

+2 bonus to Knowledge (fishing).
+2 bonus to Craft (Chicken Bog)
+2 bonus to Perform (Shag)

Intuit Misdirection: On a Charisma check (DC15), South Carolinians can successfully confuse tourists seeking directions to a particular location.
inland"Yeah, just go back up by the McIver place, then turn at the red light... go by The transmission fixin' place, and turn left. Can't miss it!"

(In Myrtle Beach) Oh, that's easy! It's just two miles down Highway 17, right next to the Wings Surf Shop. Can't miss it!"

 

[Believer]

I want to post some edits and explanations to the general New York posts.

-3 Charisma... because we are a******s compared to the rest of the country

-10 to Drive in New Jersey... because they don't know how to label roads properly

-10 to Geography (except Local) .... because we are so good we don't need to know about the rest of the country.

-5 Diplomacy to any Non-American (includes Jersey and protectorates) simply because... we don't give a damn, we are better than you.

-5 to all Sports Knowledge... if it isn't Yankees... it doesn't need to be known
Note: If the Yankees end up losing anything other than the World Series than all NY with a rank in sports Knowledge must make a Fortitude save (DC based on how bad they lose + 10)... failure means they suffer -2 to all stats for the next 5 days and lose control of their beserker rage ability (it activates when DM wants it to)... save means -1 to all stats for the next 2 days. In a particularly bad series.... this could lead to many fans death's.

If North of NYC (80 % OF THE STATE):
+1 to Rifles
+1 to Shotgun
If in NYC:
+1 to Pistol
+1 to Knives


Feats: Berserker's Rage (Ever seen a NY driver trying to drive through NYC?)
