Hero Worship
Flaw · 1 pt
You adore another character, to the point where that person can do no wrong as far as you’re concerned. Attempts to sway your opinion will just piss you off, shut you down, or drive you to heights (or depths) of absurd justification for whatever someone says about him. A common trait among folks in an Echo Chamber (see the Social Flaw of that name, pp. 66-67), this psychological blind spot can become annoying, even haz ardous, if centered on the wrong person… like, say, a Syndicate Manager, a Nephandus, or certain presidential candidates!
If your hero tells you to do something, you’re inclined to obey, and must make a Willpower roll in order to refuse their desires. The difficulty for this roll depends upon the extremity of those desires; “Gimme a kiss,” would probably be difficulty 5, while “Go stab your best friend in the back for me” would be 9 or 10. If and when you’re confronted with proof of your hero’s weak nesses, you are capable of seeing reason eventually – it’s just not easy to get you to think so clearly. Any social roll that’s aimed at getting you to discard your hero worship adds +2 to its difficulty unless the hero has recently done something very wrong… like, say, telling you to stab your best friend in the back for him!
