This is a package deal encompassing all the powers (and weaknesses) that would come with being [x]. [X] could be vampire or werewolf or robot or alien . The advantage is the range of powers. The disadvantage is that it is not custom – others of your kind will have similar powers.
Naturally, the RCM would inherit the weaknesses of this status as well.
A Special Status that is well balanced in terms of strengths and weaknesses may be an addition to a Power, rather than a power itself.
The XP has a greater role in determining this than other categories, because it has to conform with others of this sort.
Also used for translating a “prestige class” or the like from another system.
Special Status is treated as a Talent when determining Plops cost outside of a power.
EXAMPLES (from the Sample Cast)
· Able has the Special Status of being an android.
· Bear Dickson has the Special Status of lycanthropy.
· Glorifast Greycloak has the Special Status of being an elf.
