Re: Clickbait advantages
Suffice it to say the Extreme Sexual Dimorphism perk is useful for describing a large proportion of clickbait advantages....

Re: Clickbait advantages
Some of those are ambiguous though. We've wondered a bit lately what list Margaret got on that is generating all the e-mails for something to "Dissolve Penis Clogs", which I assume grant either Extreme Sexual Dimorphism or Immunity to [specific disease] for some nasty urinary infection.

Re: Clickbait advantages
HEDGESCROLLER [2] (prereq: Accented written comprehension in at least one language)
You know "Scroll" and 7 other no-prereqs spells at IQ-6. Good choices: You are not able to cast the other spells, but you know them solely for the purpose of enchanting them into scrolls, which you can then use or sell to others. You do not register as a mage except when you are enchanting, and even then you are hard to detect. You are only able to sense scrolls, not other spells. Due to requiring an effective skill of 15 to cast enchantments, an average person of IQ 10 (effective skill 4) would need to get +11 in bonuses to make it work. You do this by taking All-Out Concentrate maneuvers instead of normal ones (you are defenseless!) for a +1 when you enchant. The other +10 you get by spending (M12) 100% extra energy for +4 and another 600% extra energy for +6. This octuples the cost, so even a 1-energy spell will take 8 days to enchant. Note however that Scroll casting time is "base cost for area spells", so this would allow potentially massive effects if whoever is casting them pumps in lots of energy. If at the end of casting you crit fail the spell, you can reroll to try and stabilize it into a normal failure. |

Re: Clickbait advantages
YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE NOW
Perk: When dealing with people who have not seen you in three months or more, you gain a bonus to Disguise, Acting, etc. when trying not to be recognized (but not when trying to impersonate a specific other person, fake a specific accent or emotional state, etc.). Look up months since the last interaction on the size table and apply the result as a bonus.

Re: Clickbait advantages
I'm being facetious, that they treat lyrics in the verse of a song as though they were the lost secrets of Atlantis. Hidden Lore (Secret meanings of music) could be an interesting concept in an illuminated sort of game.

How hidden the meanings are probably varies a fair bit, especially for songs that have no lyrics.
