Explosive Temper

Value
Common, Strong: 15 Points; Common, Total: 20 Points
Description
This Complication is used when a character has no "throttle" on their anger. Such a character immediately goes from "mildly annoyed" to "just shy of berserk" with almost no intermediate steps. The character is willing to resort to violence much more easily and quickly after going off like that. The character isn't necessarily Bad Tempered; the characters explosions of anger don't have to happen any more frequently than anyone else's. It's just that when this character gets the least bit angry, they redline into extreme outbursts of outrage as soon as the feeling comes upon them. (This is what sets this Complication apart from Hair-Trigger Temper.)
How well the character can control their feelings of anger and hostility depends on the level at which the Complication was purchased. At Strong, it takes an EGO Roll for the character to control their anger levels. At Total, the character is incapable of restraining himself at all.
It is recommended that Player Characters not take this Complication.
