Corrupt

Source NPC Core pg. 122
It's easy to be above the law when you define it, and sometimes powerful people want it defined in specific ways. A fancy meal here, a pay-off there, and soon the officials operate by rules only they know. You can apply the corrupt adjustments to an official's statistics to make them more adept at underhanded behavior.
  • Give the creature a Deception and Underworld Lore modifier, each equal to the high skill value for its level (GM Core 116). If you're in a hurry, use the creature's highest skill modifier.
  • Decrease the creature's Will by 1.
  • Choose an Intelligence-, Wisdom-, or Charisma-based skill that's thematically important to the creature's office, such as Legal Lore for a judge. The creature gains the official bully ability for that skill.
Official Bully The creature can use the chosen skill to Coerce or Demoralize in place of Intimidation.
