Chapter 4: Disposition
Changing Disposition
Generally, dispositions are established in
youth and do not change over a character’s lifespan.
However, exceptions such as traumatic events, philosophical
studies, or magic may alter a character’s disposition.
In the case of an altered or abandoned disposition,
the character’s occupation is disrupted as
they must adjust to their new perspective of the
world. Adjustments of this sort require (3 + 1d4)
months. During this period, the character acquires
only 50% of the number of Advancement Points
(AP) that they would normally. If a character reverts
to an old disposition, then a period of adjustment
is not required since they are already familiar
with the outlook.
During the period (determined above) of
adopting a new disposition, a character ponders the
consequences of such a disposition, and may be inclined
to discuss it with others, including priests associated
with the disposition.
Dispositions by Proportion
Distributions of dispositions differ by race.
For example, if an equal number of anakim and black
dwarves are selected randomly and considered, then
there are higher odds of finding a UI anakim than a
UI black dwarf. Each race is represented with a piechart
to show the proportions of dispositions.
Although a particular disposition may not
appear on a pie chart for a particular race, it does
not mean that it is impossible for a member of that
race to have that disposition, but only that the proportion
of members of that race who have that disposition
are too small to consider. For example,
EM is not shown for bugbears. However, it is possible
that a bugbear studied white dwarven philosophy
and became EM.
If all races are considered simultaneously,
then NN is the most common disposition and EM
is most rare.
