* SuccessThroughInsanity: Henderson was deliberately created to achieve just that. He rolled '''The Necronomicon''' up into a blunt and smoked it. You can't drive someone to madness if they're already insane to begin with.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: WHM gets really upset with Mike when he has Henderson straight up kill his character. However, as Mike points out, said character had walked up to Henderson, admitted he'd been paid to get rid of him, and attacked him in the middle of a crime scene. In-character, Henderson had absolutely no reason not to kill the guy without meta-gaming.

"gaining an advantage from being crazy and eccentric" IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF HENDERSON'S CHARACTER. Smoking a blunt made from a page of the necronomicon? crashing a tanker truck into a gas station and escaping on combat boots modified to double as heelies? heloooo?

** Henderson swipes a page of the Necronomicon from the Detective's office, and while he's chaperoning a school dance, he rolls it into a blunt and ''smokes it.'' He then shares it with Jimmy, who ends up failing every sanity check the GM throws at him.
