I'm always on guard when GMing my campaign because the player of Major Po is a psychologist in RL and as both a player and as a GM he has seriously messed with my head in the past.
Also in my campaign Major Po has engaged in torture on a few occasions (which I really am not comfortable with but as I've said in the past I don't deliberately punish PCs for doing things I find distasteful). The creepy thing is that Major Po (being a medical doctor and having received fairly advanced interrogation training as an FBI agent) doesn't generally go in for the straightforward brutal type of torture. He mixes it up, combining psychological techniques with physical torture.
The Gunmaster system actually has a skill called Resist Drugs/Torture and a number of PCs and NPCs in the campaign have that skill open but few have a high level in that skill for obvious reasons. Generally they have the skill open because they have done some special forces or spook course in counter interrogation techniques but they don't usually have much opportunity to make development checks in the skill. If they did they would almost certainly have to start making rolls on Gunmaster's Psyche Disorders chart (which MajorPo also created).
