New perks

[Anders]

Weather Nose

You get a bonus equal to your Acute Taste/Smell level when using Weather Sense (not Meteorology).

I Can Feel a Storm Coming

Characters with Chronic Pain from an old war wound or rheumatism can sense upcoming weather events. Add a bonus of magnitude equal to the Chronic Pain penalty to Weather Sense rolls, cancelling out the pain penalty during attacks and providing a bonus on good days when the self-control roll is made.

You can take Weather Sense instead of Meteorology at any TL, not just TL4 and below.

I love when I noticed that ESD is just a skill bonus tied with Distinctive Features, so I made a few perks using the same formula for other skills;

Unsettling - Intimidation. You have something about you that gets under people's skin or bothers them just so. It's not enough to make for bad impressions but can be used to intimidate others. In a cinematic campaign this was taken as "Bald" once XD

Monkey Arms - Climbing. Not quite Brachiator, but you are still better at climbing, swinging, etc. However, your arms and legs look a little odd and you tend to walk in an obvious manner.

Twitchy Hands - Fast Draw. Your fingers move with little thought on your part and seem to know where you hide things on yourself. The behavior does slightly stick out, and might even qualify for something like Dishonest Face.

What is ESD?

Extreme Sexual Dimorphism. It's a mouthful so I just acronym it. It's basically a perk +1 bonus to a skill with downsides.

Developing Item

This is a generalization of Named Possession. Pick a source. As you gain Character Points, your item gains value in a way related to that source at a rate of 1/10th campaign starting wealth per Character Point you gain. This might be mundane, for a gunsmith who is constantly tinkering with her SMG; magical, as in the original Named Possession perk; or anything else the GM allows.

Thank you. I was also puzzled and about to ask.

Mario Quads - Jumping. You have massive legs people can't ignore

[kirbwarrior]

Implausible Background - You have one (or more) traits that are entirely normally allowed, but the reasoning behind them is bizarre, absurd, or frankly unrealistic (to the setting!). For instance you might look like a stereotypical demon and take Very Handsome because 'people just can't get over that red skin and horns look' even if it's the Victorian Era or a horror campaign.

I'm not sure if I'd actually require the perk but I saw it on some other site and thought it might be interesting.

Love it.

Danger Music - the character can add Acute Hearing to his Danger Sense roll.
