Date: Tue, 24 Feb 1998 20:59:18 PST From: Peter Martin To: GURPSnet-L@io.com Subject: New action movie advantage (sorry S. John) In the proud tradition of S. John Ross (geez, I hope I do him justice here) I present a NEW action-movie advantage. Too Damn Smooth: 65 points This advantage grants AUTOMATIC success on all seduction rolls made with an attractive or better member of the opposite sex, ALL savoire-faire rolls, and anything else, that, if failed, would be embarrassing. In addition, the character can screw up, but will never be embarrased, even on a critical failure. If your gun jams, it does so in a flashy-looking and spectacular way, like you meant for it to do that, and if you drop it, you get a +4 to any subsequent fast-draw rolls. You always look in-control and totally suave. This confers to a general +3 on reaction rolls for most people. Some may mistake your smoothness for arrogance, and hence react at -1 to -4. Any critical failures resulting in an embarrasing injury are re-rolled until the GM decides that a smooth-looking wound can be acheived. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
