Just made this one up per request of an archer in my Supers game.


Sticky Quiver
Your quiver is your best friend. It will hold onto your arrows regardless of any acrobatic feat, tumble, roll, combat move, etc, unless you critically fail an Acrobatics or Fast Draw (arrow) skill check.

Crazy Eyes
Gives +1 (+2?) on non-verbal Intimidation attempts where the intended victim can see the character's eyes.

Charming Rogue
Prerequisite: Sex Appeal
An unsuccessful attempt to use the Sex Appeal skill is treated as if it were an unsuccessful attempt at Diplomacy.

Good idea *thumbup* though it might be a little weak compared to Honest Face.

How about:

Hobbit Feet: The soles of your feet are thick and tops are furry. As such you prefer to go without footwear. Your bare feet count as ordinary shoes whenever it would matter.

Or how about:

Fire Starting: You can make a fire almost anywhere out of almost anything,
wind or no wind. What kind of bonus could a one point perk give you on rolls to start fires?

IDHMpdfWM, but I think there's a Perk in Powerups 2 that does something similar, perhaps more cinematically.

I don't think so. The ability to use Sex Appeal (an Average skill) to potentially get a Very Good reaction, with the worst result being that it does nothing, rather than making the reaction worse? That's way better than Diplomacy itself (Hard, only gives a Good reaction) and a little better than Honest Face (+1 for "acting innocent").
Sometimes it might even synergise with Honest Face. :)

You could say that Charming Rogue allowed you to optionally use Sex Appeal in a casual and inoffencive manner, the result being treated as if it were a diplomacy attempt (no better than Good, but not worse than the standard reaction roll).

That sounds much more balanced.
