Disturbing Presence

in the living rulebook 5 Disturbing Presence is explained that any player must subtract 1 from the D6 when they pass, intercept or catch for each opposing player with Disturbing Presence that is within three squares of them.
Does this also effect players whom are in the same team as the disturbing player?

The skill text says ... for each opposing player with disturbing presense .... Have to admit that the any is rather confusing.

Heh, those happen. I was about to reply saying that we have played it wrong many many years and only then reread and spotted the opposing ;) However, the skill text might need a little editing.

Thing is the team mates are used to being around players with this trait so it doesn't bother them that much! :wink:

Yah, because apparently it only takes the passing of time to prevent you from continuous retching at the sight of perpetually bursting pus boils and the stench of putrefying demon intestines :puke:

Couldn't find a fixed clarification, though do remember various conversations about it recently. Thought I would necro the oldest thread I could!

Can you choose not to use DP, e.g. to change a fumble to an inaccurate pass?

Nope, my highlight
Disturbing Presence (Mutation)
This player's presence is very disturbing, whether it is caused by a
massive cloud of flies, sprays of soporific musk, an aura of random
chaos or intense cold, or a pheromone that causes fear and panic.
Regardless of the nature of this mutation, any player must subtract 1
from the D6 when they pass, intercept or catch for each opposing player
with Disturbing Presence that is within three squares of them, even if the
Disturbing Presence player is Prone or Stunned.

Not 100% convinced. Compare to Tackle for example, would you allow to turn that off?

Most skills are optional but the ones that aren't mostly have the qualifier Must. Tackle has not such qualifier but DP does (as does Frenzy for example).

I'd say n on turning off DP.
