If you act like a Commie, or other negative personality type, your character's reputation will sink (or go negative). Your character's reputation will affect different people in different ways. "Good" people will react positively to a good reputation, and poorly to a negative reputation. "Bad" people will react in the opposite manner. You may get other, specific reputations as well, or you could react poorly to chems. If you do, these reactions to your actions will show up under Karma. Use the character card to find out more information. As one could expect from the title of this data card, this will show how many of what you have slain in battle. You might be interested in knowing that the number of things slain (which can include people, animals, dangerous mutants) will have an effect on your game. The more you kill, the greater the effect. The exact ramifications of your kills will be discovered as you play. On the right-hand bottom part of the screen are three buttons: PRINT, CANCEL and DONE. Print This option will let you save the current record of your character as a text file on your own computer. Trade it with your friends, or gloat loudly. Select this option, and another screen will appear. Type in the name of the text file as you want it to be, and press ENTER. Cancel Return to the game. Any changes that you have made to your character since entering the character screen will be ignored, and your character returned to the state he or she was in before you entered the character screen Done Accept any changes to your character and return to the game.
