Predetermined Reactions

Certain NPCs might have reaction
modifiers (mostly bad) worked out in
advance. For instance, a street gang
might have a -5 reaction to anybody.
Predetermined reaction penalties
sometimes come with a “best-case”
reaction. Treat any reaction better
than the best-case reaction as the best-
case scenario; do not roll again. For
instance, a mountain man might be a
loner, with a -2 reaction to any out-
sider – and no matter what, his reac-
tion will never be better than
“Neutral.” In this case, the GM would
lower any reaction better than Neutral
to Neutral.
