Quick rules for a Superhero balancing their double life.
Sleep
-You need 8 hours of sleep every day. For each hour less than this, cumulative -2 penalty on really boring tasks. If you get less than 6, -4 on tasks outside of adrenaline pumping action. If less than 5, -4 to reflex saves. If less than 4, -33% max health. If less than 2, -50% max health.
Work
-You need to work for 8 hours every day. You can scrape by on 6, but your boss thinks you’re a slacker. Cumulative 5% chance per month that your boss fires you for each hour you work less than 6 every day.
Social
-You need to keep up with your relationships, your friends and family. (Everyone should start with at least 2d4 of these). If you spend less than 3 hours a day on this, loved ones you live with will feel alienated. Less than 2 and other family and friends will see you as distant and unreliable. If you spend no time on this people feel you’re pushing them away.
Banality
-You need to do the basic to keep a life together. For each hour you spend on this, pick one of the following: you eat well and take care of your body, your house is well ordered and presentable, all authority figures in your life are satisfied with what you’ve done for them. Otherwise you’re running yourself ragged (every year, age 2 years instead of one), your house is a mess (concerning everyone who sees it), and you’re constantly hounded by your landlord or bank etc and your credit score is trash.
-The rest of the time is yours!
Crime Fighting
-Every month, roll a d20. If it exceeds the number of hours you spend crime fighting every day, increase your Profile by 1. If you roll a 1, you also increase your Connections by 1 or reduce the CRIME score of the city by 1. If you roll a 20, reduce your Connections by 1 as ingrates trash your reputation.
Gadgets
-You may spend your time tinkering on new equipment or repairing damaged gear. Projects have a Tinker Cost. After you have spent a number of hours equal to the Tinker Cost, you gain the gadget.
