Battlebabe
THE BATTLEBABE
Introducing
Even in a place as dangerous as Apocalypse World, battlebabes are — well. They’re the ones you should walk away from, eyes down, but you can’t. They’re the ones like the seductive blue crackling light, y’know? You mistake looking at them for falling in love, and you get too close and it’s a zillion volts and your wings burn off like paper.
Dangerous.

HX
Everyone introduces their characters by name, look, and outlook. Take your turn.
List the other characters’s names.
Go around again for Hx. On your turn, tell everyone Hx+1. You put yourself out in the public view.
On the other players’s turns:
At the end, find the character with the highest Hx on your sheet. Ask that player which of your stats is most interesting, and highlight it. The MC will name another stat for you to highlight too.
Cool+3 Hard−1 Hot+1 Sharp+1 Weird=0
Cool+3 Hard−1 Hot+2 Sharp=0 Weird−1
Cool+3 Hard−2 Hot+1 Sharp+1 Weird+1
Cool+3 Hard=0 Hot+1 Sharp+1 Weird−1
Choose which character you trust the least. Whatever number that player tells you, ignore it; write Hx+3 next to that character’s name instead.
Everyone else, write the number they tell you next to their character’s name.
