Quirks As in Human Form, plus several that do not apply in this tournament Story Ryoga Hibiki is doubly cursed -- first, he is cursed with a sense of direction so poor that he cannot get out of a bathroom without help. Secondly, he is cursed by the one of the hundred springs of Jusenkyo in China; ever since falling into the Spring of the Drowned Piglet, he transforms into a small black piglet whenever he is struck by cold water; he transforms back to human when exposed to hot water. For this latter curse, accidently inflicted by Ranma Saotome, he has sworn revenge. However, his poor sense of direction often keeps him from this goal, and worse yet, he has fallen in love with Saotome's fiancee, Akane Tendo, who does not know of his Jusenkyo curse, and who has adopted his piglet form as her pet, P-Chan. The Absolute Misdirection disadvantage has the following effects: An IQ-6 roll is required to follow directions correctly or go somewhere intentionally. The more complex the directional task, the greater a penalty is applied -- from -1 for chasing someone across a courtyard or trying to get out of a house, to -5 for following directions to a relatively close location, to -10 or more for trying to reach a place the character's never been. On a failure, the character will be lost -- wandering randomly 1d days for every 3 points by which the roll was failed. On a critical failure, measure the time wandered in weeks. Absolute Misdirection is only -10 points because it also includes an unconscious ability to teleport across bodies of water; the character can cross, say, from Japan to China without actually ever encountering the Sea of Japan, and never noticing the 'port. This power can never be used intentionally; in fact, the character may never be aware of the power, except for wondering how he got where he is.
