Bestial Disadvantage & Skills

onetrikpony · 02-12-2021, 01:27 PM

I had read the "Disadvantage of the Week" thread (because I love that series) before I posted this one. I didn't really say much about skills.

Would anyone still interested please consider; Can a character with the Bestial disadvantage use the skills; Soldier and Crewman (B185, 221) if they have IQ 10?

Which social skills are prohibited by the Bestial disadvantage (Assume IQ 10)?

Acting (B174) I'm unsure
Carousing (B183) I assume Yes.
Connoisseur (Weapons) (B185)
Detect Lies (B187) I'm unsure
Fast Talk (B195) I'm unsure
Intimidation (B202) I assume Yes.
Merchant (B209) I assume No.
Musical Instrument (Percussion) (B211) I assume No.
Naturalist (B211) I assume Yes.
Sex Appeal (b219) I assume Yes.

It seems that the 'Civilized social skills' that are absolutely prohibited are the ones that allow an Influence Roll in place of a Reaction Roll, such as Diplomacy and Streetwise; excepting Intimidation.
