Aptitudes: General, Social
The opposite of Peer; the character is particularly despised and possibly hunted by a specific social group or organisation. The character suffers an additional –10 penalty to Fellowship Tests when dealing with this group, and the GM may use them to complicate his life from time to time.
Unlike other Talents, this Talent does not cost any experience points to purchase and cannot be taken as an advance. Instead the GM and player may agree to award this Talent when appropriate to the adventure or campaign. This Talent can be removed with an Elite Advance and the approval of the GM, if the character has redeemed himself with the group in question.
This Talent may be awarded multiple times for the same group, in which case it should be listed as Enemy (X), with X equalling the number of times the Talent has been awarded. This can be used to represent groups who particularly hate the character and want to see him dead. In game terms, the penalty to Fellowship Tests increases to –10 times X, with X being the number of times the Talent has been awarded.
