Paraplegic

(Severe Unfavorable Trait)

A character with this trait has permanently damaged or missing lower limbs which prevent them from walking, jumping, running or moving up stairs easily. Their Move is reduced to a 1 when not using a wheel chair or other method of conveyance for ground movement. This limit does not necessarily apply to other means of locomotion. If they are in a wheelchair and on normal or easy terrain then they get their full ordinary Move (see Character Creation for details on Move). The GM may require Dex rolls to maneuver thru tight locations. A character with this trait is -6 to Acrobatics skill base.

A specialized wheelchair might be bought/built to increase Move of such a character, or taken as a minor trait.

A character should not take this trait at the same time as Great Stride, Lost Leg, Lame, or Long Stride.
