This actually has worked quite well in the ruins of New York as it keeps the rats away.
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

We use a modified version of Harnmaster's religion rules for those characters that have a faith or belief system. Po is a Buddhist so he has a Karma score instead of the usual Piety score. Some of the Catholic PCs and NPCs have used the religion rules to attempt to call for divine intervention in the past.

The funniest thing for me about Po being a Buddhist is that he knows he isn't a very good one.

I will neither confirm or deny whether Po's animal fear effect is due to his negative karma level or a curse but I suspect he knows which it is.
