Certain Powers or abilities, such as some curses in fantasy games, involve making a character less capable at some specific aspect of combat – in short, they apply negative PSLs to him. At the GM's discretion, a character may increase an OCV penalty a character suffers for the following cost.
Negative PSLs affect the target only in situations where he is subject to the corresponding negative modifier, though they affect the target even if he has positive PSLs that reduce the modifier to -0. | |||||||||
