Tri-Stat dX Less Capable defect revision
By Zegon Destructacon

Return: 1 CP/level or Varies
Relevant Stat: Varies
Relevant Attribute(s): None
Relevant Defect(s): None
Progression: Linear, +1 penalty 'slot'/level

A statistic represents an equal strength in all areas it represents.  Someone
with a 6 in body is equally strong as they are fast and tough.  However, in
some cases this is not true.  Less Capable allows a character to be weaker in
one aspect of a statistic than others.

The value this defect penalizes the character for one aspect of a statistic
varies by the importance of the aspect and the dice size of the game.  For a
major aspect, it imposes a +X/3 penalty, rounded down.  So in a d6 or d8
system it imposes a +2 penalty, in a d10 system the penalty is +3, and in a d12
system it is +4.  This defect should impose at minimum a +2 penalty and at most
a +4 penalty for major aspects.   For a minor aspect, it imposes double this
amount (before rounding) and then round down, with a maximum of +6 and a
minimum of +3.  So in a d6 system, this would be +4, in d8 it would be +5, in
d10 it would be +6, and in d12 it would be +6.  Example aspects are given
below.

This defect may be taken to higher levels to further penalize one area or to
penalize multiple areas simultaneously, or both.

All Aspects

In some cases, a character may become less capable in all aspects of a
statistic.  This defect may be taken for all aspects of the statistic as well.

When this occurs, then this defect returns a much larger amount, but all aspects
of the attribute are reduced as if the character was literally one (or more) stat
point(s) lower than normal.  ACV, DCV, HP, EP, and (if used) Shock Value and
Psyche must all be re-calculated with the new values.

The return is equal to either 2 CP (in an even stat-cost system) or the amount
paid for that value of the statistic (in a varied stat-cost system).
