A devoted GM, loyal to his group and the game known as HackMaster. Still lives with his mom, and works the graveyard shift at the local Pizza-Go-Go. B.A.'s college career of anthropology and history study didn't last long; he dropped out to pursue his dream of being a game designer. With a slice of pizza in one hand and the notes for his adventure with a home-brewed system, B.A. keeps the thoroughly well deserved title... of GameMaster of the Knights of the Dinner Table. B.A. has always tried to push the envelope in both features, description and imagination. Granted, not every one of his experiments is a complete success; sometimes the role of a GM must fly in the face of available facts. But his hard work, his innovations, his time at the HackMaster™ Academy and his willingness to spread the joy of HackMaster™ to new players or new GameMasters give proof of B.A.'s caring, love and dedication to the phenomena that are Gary Jackson's HackMaster™ and the KODT. Late 30s.

This Disadvantage is perhaps the superhero Disadvantage. If your character doesn't have it, you should be thinking long and hard as to why not. A character with this Disadvantage absolutely refuses to consider lethal force as a valid option except under the most dire of circumstances (such as "kill or the planet dies" or "kill one to prevent a million deaths"). They dislike people who are willing to use lethal force, and will actively (and if necessary, physically) try to prevent them from doing so. If the choice comes down to using lethal force to stop an opponent and letting him escape, a character with this Disadvantage would let the opponent escape. This does not necessarily mean that the character is a coward or a weak fighter. Against a foe noted for his resistance to harm, the character will use his attacks to the best of his ability. Against unknown opponents, he will pull punches, use lower power attacks, or start out with entangles and similar non-damaging powers. And please note that it doesn't have to be a Killing Attack to count as a lethal attack—a large enough "regular" attack can still be lethal.
