Far Beyond Humanity Career Week
Day 3 – Fanatic
#FBHCareers
Ah the Fanatic. Started out as the Devoted, but the religious wording didn’t sell the idea that this career could be hyper-focused on any ideal.
So it went through a pass where most overt religious terms were replaced my more general ones (except martyr, which is still common enough in non-religious senses). A couple of skills made their way over to the Chosen career, and a few new ones were added to further sell the fanatical quality.
My personal fave here is “Obsessive”, which tickles me to no end. I just love how well it distills the personality type into fairly simple mechanics. I mean, I absolutely know people in my gaming circles who have that skill.
Terrify is a really interesting one that I’m looking forward to playtesting and getting feedback. It feels like “what you are” rather than “what you can do”.
Very happy with how elegant and straight-forward Nemesis is. It’s always a fear when working on new skills, that all the brevity has been used up.

I love them all!
Obsession is my favorite, that’s brilliant.
Martyr I’m not sure about, on the basis that it’s exactly how i would handle the situation even for someone without the skill. I think it still works though. Sort of like an inverse scapegoat.
Really nice. Major Kira.
Hm? I really feel I should know what aspect of Major Kira you’re referring to, but much to my geek-shame I’m drawing a blank!
Deep Space 9! Major Kira! The unabashed Bajoran with a frothing hatred for everything Cardassia! Spent the whole show on an emotional wild roller coaster exploring the complexities of her zealotry and interspecies xenophobia.
Ah, generally, I thought it was more in reference to a specific Skill.
