The Nerd-Bro Scale

In order to find out where you fall on the scale, see how many points from your attribute priority you have invested into Physical Attributes: Body, Reaction, Strength, and Agility. Also, see how many points you have invested into Mental Attributes: Willpower, Logic, Intuition, Charisma. Only count attribute points from your priority and karma, not magic, or augmentations - Butch only cares about raw physical aptitude. If your number is at least 2 higher in Physical, congrats, you're a Bro. If your Mental is more than 2 points higher, you're a nerd. You can become a Bro later by investing karma into raising your Physical attributes.

Harder Better Faster stronger

  • Bros may pickup the Toughness Quality at 18 karma
  • Bros may pickup the Exceptional Attribute (Physical) Quality for 28 karma
  • Bros may pickup the Natural Athlete Quality at 14 karma
