Hindrances that are Minor or Major

[amerigoV]

So n00b FG user here (but veteran SW) - It appears that when drag/dropping a Hindrance like Slow that can be either a Minor/Major that the ruleset defaults to the Minor version. How to do I get the Major version to apply?

Thanks!

(SWADE ruleset).

Hey, amerigoV, welcome!
Usually when the Hindrance says (Minor or Major) it's just a matter of erasing the words on the Hindrance after you drag it. It counts as Major on the Character Summary if at any part of it, the word "Major" is written.

However, on the Slow case, it will only apply the modifier for the Minor version, requiring you to further decrease the pace and add the athletics penalty manually if you have the Major one. One thing that could be done, would be to create a copy of the Hindrance, and then change the effects to [Pace -2, Run -1d, Athletics -2] for a Major version of it. Another, simpler way to do it, is just manually decrease both Pace and Run Die, and then write a [Athletics -2] effect under the usual Hindrance, and you will have it all covered.
