Description

A Serious Defect.

This Defect means the character has a Special Requirement that must be fulfilled in order for them to continue to function normally. This might include: a mechanical device that needs constant maintenance for proper functioning, a cyborg’s need for batteries, a vampire’s thirst for blood, a chronically ill patient’s requirement for medicine, a god’s need for worship, a fairy’s need for belief in its existence, an addict’s need for a fix, or a baby’s need for constant attention. The Special Requirement may involve a physical object, an event, an action, an environmental condition, or even a state of mind. Everyday activities, such as eating and sleeping, are not considered to be Special Requirements unless they must be carried out under unusual conditions or more frequently for some reason.

For example, if a robot requires regular changes of batteries instead of (rather than as well as) food, this is not a Special Requirement unless these batteries are rarer or more costly than ordinary food would be.

This Defect covers a wide range of possibilities and the details should be discussed with the GM.
