Re: [Basic] Skills of the week: Fire Eating and Stage Combat
Fire Eating isn't in my character archive at all. Stage Combat is on three characters: one martial artist who's done some film work, one 1930s actor, and an Elizabethan gentleman-from-the-ranks who knows the importance of making things look good. (He also has Brawling (Sport) to relax. Just because nobody's written down the rules for a bar fight, that doesn't mean there aren't rules.)

I still think actual burns should only occur on critical failures. Professionals get burned but not necessarily BURNED in Gurps terms.

That may work for a long con, or simply to help someone save face when honor demands they fight but really don't want to.

The extreme case of this would be making your opponent think he is better than he is, which would definitely need both skills.

Re: [Basic] Skills of the week: Fire Eating and Stage Combat
In my French swashbuckling campaign, one of the characters, Simone Lebrun, was a stage actress who was taking actual fencing lessons so she could play adventure heroines more convincingly on the stage. She started out with Stage Combat at the default from performance and Smallsword at the default from DX.

Re: [Basic] Skills of the week: Fire Eating and Stage Combat
On Wednesday, we concluded that bullfighting is a separate specialisation of Stage Combat. Infinite Cabal can be a bit hard on the sanity sometimes: one of the characters wants to sacrifice a bull to Poseidon by staging a bullfight. That would make sense if he were Spanish, but he's Hungarian.

Re: [Basic] Skills of the week: Fire Eating and Stage Combat
Was that a thread you could link to? Or do you mean in your own game?

Own game, sorry for being unclear.
