Yes, that's the way I envision it. It's a Useful Habit.

Only problem is: Is it useful enough?

Huh? I don't remember any such rule. These bonuses don't benefit Skills that Default FROM Skills they benefit, but Voice should definitely benefit a normal Default Singing. It makes no sense otherwise.

If this is what you mean, then I'd say it's probably too easily to abuse, because a lot of what this rule is for is to prevent double-dipping from a Talent or the like.

The idea is that If you have the perk Attendent Modifiers (Performance) Voice, and Performance skill, which gains a bonus from Voice, then the acting default would also enjoy a +2 bonus from voice, although it does not normally do so.

I realize the rule was placed to prevent abuses, but I thought that localizing the perk to individual skills could reign in such potential for point mayhem.

I have some personal experience with this one:

Cold Tolerance 2, Heat Intolerance 1 (must maintain Overweight or worse status).

I know Skinny people who have Cold Intol 1 and Heat Tol 2.

I'd say yes. It's at least as useful as "you always have a set of gear packed up and ready to go", for example.

If a character is an adventurer-type, and has the Well-Supplied Perk, that might be the case.

Then again, I'd say all characters who realize that they are adventurers should be allowed to have a small travel pack ready and packed, for free.

edit: I realize that I've misunderstood PK's post. Oops. I get it now.

Impressive Sheathe
You may take a ready action to dramatically throw your signature weapon into the air. 2 seconds later it will fall into it's sheath, even if you've moved, or if the room has a low ceiling etc.

Well my favorite perks come from Thaumatology Magical Styles.

1. The idea of Perks being used as Cantrips, why did I not see that before!
2. Psychic Guidance. Great for spell-casters with low DX! Hey my DX 10 Half Orc Wizards knows Ice Dagger spell at 16 and for 1 pt. Psychic Guidance(Ice Dagger) her basic roll to hit is 16
3.Staff Attunement. Any wizards should know that one.


Note! Hey my post is the 500th one! Do I get a price? :P

"Body of Work: you have memorized one book thoroughly, such as The Bible, The Koran, Mein Kampf, etc"

What i'm wondering about this Perk is this: if you have it, why do you need a Religion/Theology skill for the related belief?
