What about something like "This can only be used with NPCs that have no worse than a Neutral disposition to you already"?

That was where my train of thought was going too.

So how about formalising the language a bit? "If you have recieved a Neutral or better reaction from an NPC, you may make a 'request for aid' Reaction roll at an additional +1."

I don't have Martial Arts (or Powerups) with me to check if something like this exists already. I was thinking about a perk that would help a character with using opportunity fire a couple days ago.

Eagle Eyes: You may ignore up to -2 worth of attack penalties while using opportunity fire.

There isn't (though it's possible that the upcoming Gun Fu might have something similar).

Seems okay, but possibly a smidge too strong maybe. Perhaps split it into two: one that treats your covered area as smaller, one that lets you ignore the -2 from Target discrimination?

This perk comes from a designation my wife and I use for people who don't look good up close, but are attractive at a distance. We use "He's/She's a 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 footer." I thought 30 feet was a good range for a perk since most social interactions will take place at less than 30, but it still could have some use at 30.

30 Footer
You're Attractive, but only from a distance. Receive +1 on Reaction Rolls for Appearance as per Attractive, but only while the viewer is 30 feet or more away. You just don't look that good up close.

Good idea. Here's something else.

Bakku-Shan You can have any appearance, but you count as at least attractive when viewed from the back.
