+2 to a skill. (This comes with the attitude of "If [b]I[/i] cannot come up with an explanation worth a two point bonus, my character does not deserve ANY bonus on that skill. Call it a point of pride.)

Not You. Similar to Honest face. You are exempt from intolerances of other people even if you normally qualified as someone they wouldn't tolerate.

It is NOT a positive reaction modifer it only applies to characters who took the intolerance disadvantage and then only if it applied to the perk holder.

Non-Descript. Your appearance doesn't stick in the memories of people. Appearance modifiers tend to counter this Perk so GMs should be reluctant to allow this for such characters.

Note: a real life exception to this exists. A while back a woman made the news by robbing liquor and convenience stores at gun point. What made her news worthy was that she came in dressed in a pair of short shorts and a bikini top. DEFINITELY had advantageous appearance.

Not ONE clerk was able to describe her face. ;)

I like this, but I think I'd call it "One of the Good Ones".

Versatile Sleeper [+1] You are able to sleep in naps here and there to get your normal day's sleep, instead of in a single stretch. Most useful for soldiers!

Patient [+1] You are tolerant of waiting, +1 not to any actual skill, but any Self-Control or Will roll where you have to resist the effects of a normal level of impatience. A trait most useful for waiting in ambush, or waiting to meet with some imperious official who hopes you'll get bored and go away, etc.

Good Gift-Giver [+1] You always know the right gift to give to someone, appropriate for them personally. It really was just what they always wanted.

Similar to high heels (though apparently not nearly as useful,) Never Falls Off His Rollerblades.

Diagnostic Arm Port- a valid accessory, this allows for quick diagnosis of electrival problems with most scientific and household equipment. Never have to go searching for that toolbox for your Electronics Repair roll again!

No Hangovers. 'Nuff said.

Shouldn't we stick to just one Perks thread at a time? :)

I would so love to have this perk. I think I have the opposite of this - a quirk level of Clueless best described as "Never knows what to give others as gifts". It's annoying and sometimes embarrasing.
