Editing Giant: The Perfidious (section)

== Totems and Honors ==
For editors: The first dot should be an passive survival power (Such as Water Giants being able to withstand extreme pressure and breathe underwater). Honors within the same Totem should compliment each other and work towards the goal determined by their totem, though mixing and matching Honors shouldn't be a problem (A Giant of Mirth and Sorrow? Why the fuck not?). Every individual Honorific (The actual dotted abilities themselves will be called Honorifics, natch) should designate what constitutes an unworthy usage of the power. Giants should basically be a mix of Captain Planet and Saladin, and misusing powers for an unnoble goal should call for whether they deserve powers in the first place. Otherwise feel free to go crazy. Giants are strong as shit and have the capacity to become crazy gods, so their powers should reflect that.

Also, no shrinking to a manageable, human size. When you were a kid, everyone looked giant, and the PCs were once little kids like everyone else; so with the tables turning and the character growing, I started wondering about what it could parallel? I figured that size is a great analogy for responsibility, almost like being a parent, and the potential for devastation the same person can cause. I was pondering on whether to make them be able to shrink to human size so they can deal with people, but opted against it. Why do it? They're Giants, it would go against everything that makes them magical, like a Vampire being able to become human. As a metaphor for adulthood, they've an unavoidable mark that sets them apart from everyone else, and really, they shouldn't be able get rid of it, but hold their size as a mark of pride.



A Worthy Giant uses his Honors in accordance to what his Totem guidelines. The ST shouldn't punish players for thinking creatively, but for misusing an Honor with the wrong intentions. The Warchief Totem, for example, has Honors designed for combat and causing immense suffering. Using them within this context is considered a worthy use of their intentions. Like the Morality stat, the more you deviate from the guidelines of the Totem with your Honors, the lower your Worthiness drops.

Forbidden: The Judgement Totem and Honorific. Homebrew Honors and Totems may be made, but Judgement is its own unique Totem that a Giant may never, ever reach. This does not mean that Giants are incapable of Judgement. It simply means that they do not have the capacity to be completely infallible in their decisions, and to cement that there may be a force out there that is so great that even with their potential Giants cannot ever hope to emulate. Gods and Giants of Judgement are omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent to terrible degrees; They can change any facet of reality with a simple thought, though such an action will ultimately be enigmatic to even the most powerful Magi, Giant or Gentry, unknown to any denizen of the universe. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Players, on the other hand, tend to be kind not be able to understand subletly.
