[DitV] Questions

[Jumanji83]

I have two questions about things that have come up during character creation:

1) One of the players wanted to create a character that came from Back East, where he used to be a hedonistic dude, but he travelled to the Faith, where he converted and became a Dog. He overcompensates by taking a hardline against any sin. He insisted that all his family stayed Back East, and has not taken a single relationship either. He's going against the spirit of the game, isn't he? Should I wait and see if this gets fixed during the game, or ask him to alter his character?

2) What happens if a character has two guns, or two knives? Does he get dice for each ones? My assumption is that if the item is redundant and has the same number and size of dice, it counts only once.

Like if I have two guns, each worth 1d6+1d4, I could use one and then the other, or both at the same time, and I'd only roll 1d6+1d4. If, on the other hand, I had a big gun 1d8+1d4 and a small gun 1d6+1d4, I'd get to roll all those dice. Does that make sense?

Cool! Thanks to you both.

My real name is Jason, by the way.

RE Relationships: They needn't be to family. They needn't be to humans! This guy sounds a little... prideful, to me. Like, maybe, there's a demon whispering in his ear, making him forget that even sinners are human and can (and should!) be saved? He gonna gun down every jaywalker and two-bit huster? PUSH on that.

RE Things: They're no different than Traits, in the end. If the player wants them, it's important. If they want to ping both, let them--but (as Rene said) put a cute, doe-eyed kid in front of them. Or another Dog. (Or his family, but he's trying to block that for some reason.)
