Oops! Apologies, Figleaf! Seems you beat me to this one...

Phone Guard -- Trying to avoid someone? Don't have caller ID? No problem. This perk guarantees you will always be away from the phone when someone you're dodging is trying to call you. Cell phones get left in the car by mistake, office phones ring while you're in the restroom, or some other minor coincidence saves you from taking THAT call.

Convenient Parking- When you are driving, a conveniant parking space will always be available outside the destination.

What about an improved default for performance skills provided they're being used in front of a crowd?

Surely the DF line has prospects for it?

(Incidentally, seeing various quotes from source material I'm familiar with is always a mild buzz. Especially the unexpected ones: Space's Duck Dodger's Quote, for example.)

Verbal Judoka: You are skilled at deflecting insults or reducing conflict through well thought out verbal responses. This is not a proactive skill; you must react to such insults or aggression to use this Perk. It is also useless if the encounter has escalated to actual combat. Successful use of "verbal judo" can cause your aggressor to reroll a reaction towards you. Perk-level Rapier Wit

Cool. I'd add that one needs to first succeed on a 3+(Skill/2) roll, then in a Quick Contest against the opponent's Will or Skill, with the result allowing to either reroll the reaction, or use the QC as if it were an Influence Attempt.

Ready or Not...
You can attack with an unready weapon, but at -4 to hit.

Maybe, but only if specialized by weapon skill. That's a really good benefit.

How would you suggest nerfing it to be generally applicable to all weapons? -5 to skill and capped at 9, like a wild swing?
