Emotional Ties

Some options for emotional ties:

• You get 3 (representing your 3 strongest emotional ties) and can swap them around for new ones with GM permission. If you have one currently "unset", you can declare it in the middle of play; otherwise you can only change them in between sessions.
• It's an Edge you can buy. If you don't buy it, you don't have any. One problem is balancing narrow/useless ties (I love my mom who lives in a distant city) vs really broad/strong ones (I love the city of X, where our campaign is based)
• You start with 1 emotional tie, but can purchase another during play by spending a Hero Point. Once you take one, you have it until you decide you no longer want it (there might be an upper limit to how many you can have).
• It's an Edge, but you also get "implied" emotional ties to your relatives, major NPCs in your background and your home town.
• It's a freebie; each one penalizes you (lose a die) whenever you act against your tie and doubles bonus dice when you act in favor of it.
