I've often thought that experience with some kinds of menial jobs ought to be a perk -- after you get 200 hours in (say 100 8 hour) days you'd get a point just enough to operate at STAT -- its just that it would not be a skill or able to go higher. You might have 1pt in say Warehouse Experience, Cashier or CSR or whatever -- things below the threshold of a professional skill but still requiring some training. may people might even have three or 4 of these -- FAM/Clerk, FAM/CSR that sort of thing In that case it certainly would make sense to notary to be a perk. Also in my fantasy campaign it certainly would be a perk and might even have social status or reputation as well. |

One Good Eye.
You have acurate vision in only ONE of your eyes. You get +2 acc after a Aim manouver. Knows Morse Code I'd say that it's specifically easier than ASL -- american sign language -- so, worth less points. Recognize <weapon class here> Can roll against appropriate Gun Skill defaulting on IQ to recognize a gun from it's firing or reloading noise. I.E a PC with Guns (Pistol) at DX+2 rolls at IQ+2. Armwrestling Champion +2 Arm ST on a armwrestling contest ONLY. Bare Knuckle boxer +1 damage with any punch.

I'd say this is already incorporated into Guns skill, i.e. recognizing a firearm is a Perception based Guns roll, modified for familiarity. Quote:

Re: List Of your favorite Custom Perks
Liked by [dogs, cats, horses, etc.]: character gets a +1 (maybe 2) reaction bonus from animals of a specific type.
Rubber-faced: the character has a very expressive face that she can use effectively. Player and GM should agree to a few situational +1's to social and/or performing skills. Jokes: the character has committed a repertoire of jokes to memory. He may or may not be any good at telling them, depending on other attributes. Award: the character was the recipient of a recognized honor or award at some point in the past. May grant occassional reaction +1 bonus if the character mentions it (and is believed). (Sort of like a 'Never recognized' reputation). Specific honors depend on the campaign world. For RW Earth depending on the scale and scope of the characters' milieu, examples might be: graduating summa cum laude, an olympic medal, a Nebula award, a Purple Heart ... etc. A Grammy award, however, would be a [0] point feature. |

Look Good. Any time you want, you begin a scene with your appearance at its best, regardless of the situation. Your hair is in place, your teeth are white, your makeup is perfect, your boots are polished, your clothing is clean and untorn (or perhaps has ripped to display attractive locations nicely), and your choice of colors and accessories work nicely with the surroundings. Any time there is a break in the action, or you can arrange a moment of privacy, you may activate this perk and clean yourself up, even if you have no logical way to make such repairs.

One Good Eye. You have accurate vision in only ONE of your eyes. You get +1 Acc after a Aim manouver. While aiming, you get Temporary Disadvantage (Tunnel Vision), due your "one-eyed stance". Some Fallout or Fallout-inspired perks: Bone Head You've been dropped a lot by your mom as a baby. You can't buy IQ above 12, but you get +1 DR vs. Skull. Better Bracing You can brace a weapon from one weapon class of your choosing, as they were pistols -- i.e. with only your both hands. You don't need to gone prone, use a bipod, or use sandbags, low walls, etc. Crazy Eye Opponents attacking from the front suffer a additional -1 to hit you against face, head or skull locations because, seriously, that eye is freaking me out! (Your character can't buy better than average appearence) European Accent You get +1 sex appeal on seduction rolls against non-european members of the opposite sex. Heave Ho! This perk gives you an additional +2 to ST for purposes of determining range with thrown weapons only. Road Warrior You have learned to drive and shoot at the same time. You get +4 bonus when firing one weapon class of your choice and piloting a vehicle at the same time.
