Systems Malfunction: Difference between revisions

** Several characters have died solely because of their inability to use or understand subtlety, for instance a bounty hunter who decided to announce "I'm here for the reward on your head" to his target, or a [[Informed Ability|stealth assassin]] who [[So Much for Stealth|loudly yelled]] [[Captain Obvious|"I'm a STEALTH ASSASSIN here to kill you all"]] [[What an Idiot!|to a room full of intended victims who outnumbered him by about seven-to-one]].

** This more fits into [[Death by Materialism]], but one character witnessed a soldier [[Eaten Alive|being devoured whole]] [[Nightmare Fuel|by a swarm cloud of ravenous cybernetic insect-bats]] and decided to run INTO the swarm cloud instead of away from it because, hey, some of that soldier's gear and money was still intact and he just had to try and get his hands on it!

* [[World of Badass]]: The character creation system ensures that, even if a given character is not a robot, vampire, cyber-angel, cyborg, psionicist, or magician, they are at the very least a [[Badass Normal]].

** This applies in-universe as well, the Citizens of the Confederated Colonial Republics have to face so many different varieties of hardship/death that you basacally need to be a [[Badass]] just to survive.
