BOTTOM OF THE CLASS

Prerequisite: Time Lord

Although the average Time Lord is light years ahead of most other beings in education and intelligence, this particular Time Lord barely scraped by graduation.

Some Time Lord’s actually fail their finals on the first go and have to wait some time before taking the test again. In some cases, the Cardinals force them to prove their academic bona fides by earning a Doctorate before allowing them to resit their exam…

Effect

The Major version of this Trait represents a Time Lord who barely managed to scrape the 51% needed to pass their final. They are not the most studious or intellectually curious of Time Lords and suffer a -1 Ingenuity and a +2 to the Difficulty on all TARDIS and Temporal Science rolls as a result.

The Special version represents a Time Lord who managed to fail his first attempt at earning his title, and barely scraped by the second time. It functions as the Major version of the Trait and, in addition, the Gallifreyan is held in low esteem by other Time Lords and suffers a +3 Difficulty when dealing with them socially.

The Major version of this Trait gives the Time Lord 1 Character Point and 1 Story Point. The Special version may only be taken with Gamemaster consent and gives the Time Lord 1 Story Point and the Doctorate Trait.

Note: Cannot be taken with the High Office Trait.
