Skills as perks

Anders · 12-30-2014, 12:01 PM

In an attempt to bring down the number of skills to a manageable level, I'm thinking of ways to convert skills into perks. Some examples:

Fast-Draw (specialization required)
This allows you to Fast-Draw a weapon (or other item, if the GM allows this) at a skill equal to your weapon skill. It otherwise functions like the skill.

Gesture
On an IQ roll (minimum 10) you can convey one simple idea to another person, or understand one simple idea he is attempting to get across.

Speed-Reading
This perk doubles your reading rate.

Any other examples stand out to you?
