Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: Absolute Timing/Chronolocation

"Many Accessory perks ape other exotic perks; e.g., climbing equipment is Climbing Line (below), a fan is Air Jet (below), flashlights and headlights are Illumination (below), a cigarette lighter is Ignition (below), a mirror is Periscope (p. 11), and a shovel is Burrower (below)." Which I think on reconsidering is not actually saying that those other exotic perks are the same as the Accessory perk, merely similar in effect. (Of course, Climbing Line is not really similar to any realistic accessory. Given its relationship with Swinging it appears to encompass the travel utility of Spider-man's web shooting.)

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: Absolute Timing/Chronolocation
Absolute Timing is one of those advantages that should not in fact exist. The ability to know how precisely how much time has elapsed (with a precision that equals but does not exceed the capability of the time-pieces in the setting) should be a perk. That it exists at all is a leftover from before the introduction of perks as the advantageous counterpart to quirks.
