Hey guys, I thought I would seek the aid of the community for this one.
I've always considered Endocrine control and Emotional Dampers mutually exclusive to each other, bearing that in my mind, Endocrine is an amped up Emotional Damper. However, a player of mine picked both for his character, and I cannot actually find a rule stating that they ARE mutually exclusive. Thus potentially yielding him a +50 bonus to deception.
I am not actually particularly against the idea of him having this bonus. What I am against is how it works logically, since it feels like the two bonuses are kind of similar in nature and thus shouldn't stack. (I have ruled for now that they do not stack) after all, being a good liar isn't just about not showing the emotional signs of whether or not you just told a lie, but coming up with a believable story as well.
I checked through every sample character to date, and I have no found a single instance of a character sporting both.
What are your thoughts on these?
