LemmingLord is obviously following the role-based Talent design philosophy, which I don't subscribe to, but I regard it as a good idea for those who do.

Re: New Talents?
they are all connected in that they are stereotypical of the highschool bad boy from 80s movies, especially 80s movies set in the 50s, 60s or 70s.

Re: New Talents?
for one, several of those skills are Health based. Other than that, it is similar in the sense of being a somewhat narrow subset of what in GURPS is considered basic dexterity. Which to my mind makes it a very natural fit for a natural talent.

But this is also an adjunct for the metagaming reason that it is more harmonious to restrict it to six skills and this set fits well together according to said logic. Aquabatics is left out on account of being too obscure a skill to merit inclusion in anything but a maritime campaign. |
