Re: List Of your favorite Custom Perks
If the player gets to (is required to) say what's on the soundtrack at any particular time, and if the cut being played is really appropriate, it can lead to some memorable moments even though it never affect a die roll at all. Been there, enjoyed that.

Been there, enjoyed that. I still think of that game whenever I hear Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer."

Gamer's Luck:
You always catch lucky breaks during games. A guild mate will run you through a quest series with an item so great he has been farming it for months and so rare he's convinced it's an urban legend, and on your first run, it will drop for you. If a random event with 1% chance of happening is needed for you to get an achievement, rest assured it will happen in short order. Your favorite tabletop character will often survive certain death one hit point short of death, you can go through a campaign of a turn-based strategy game known for being a meat grinder as far as your virtual soldiers are concerned with fatalities in the single digit with the option of having one save ever active and on a high difficulty setting with regularity. You often get pure lucky shots on enemy players in FPS games. You can gain four Legendary skins in a row from a loot box system where you gain a percent chance of gaining a skin after each win or loss, and upon winning a skin having your chance reduced to 2%, and without your chance of getting a skin ever raising over 15%. Bonus points if your Gamer's Luck benefits your friends/guild mates/team mates more than you. But as soon as there is the potential to earn anything else than a fancy title on your gamer card arrives, your luck fizzles out, and you have to rely on your skills. Your luck only applies to games, so it won't work in real life. For added fun, take this perk alongside Unluckiness or Cursed. I have both this perk and Unluckiness in real life. I don't think my soldier fatalities across a single campaign in XCOM Enemy Unknown and XCOM Enemy Within ever rose to double digits, even on a blind Ironman run. Earlier today I got locked outside of my home because the key broke in half. It The half of the key fell out of the lock instead of getting stuck in it, and I knew people with a spare key whose numbers I could find online who could arrive within 2 hours so I had to borrow a laptop and a cellphone from a neighbor, so I don't think I'm quite Cursed, but that must rank at least Unluckiness.

Technological Charisma: You're familiar with all of the tricks of the trade when it comes to telepresence — you stare at the camera, not the screen, and know how to pitch your voice so that all the relevant tones carry even over plain copper telephone wire. You treat any telepresence medium as one step better for purposes of your Charisma bonus: you get your full bonus over two-dimensional audio/video, and half your bonus even over a low-definition link.

Costing it as a cut-down Reduced Consumption comes out at zero, but doing it as Resistant costs rather more, so a perk seems right overall.

No, the Makeup skill is the skill of Make-up artists, primarily to make people look like different people.
