Re: Advantages List: Cinematic vs Realistic
Pretty much. Just ignore most of the actual text of Zeroed with respect to databases and treat it as Immunity to Database Queries in the same way as it is Immunity to Divination vs the spells and it's a perfectly sensible advantage. It's only if you "foolishly" assume text that makes up most of the description is how it is supposed to work that it doesn't make sense.

Re: Advantages List: Cinematic vs Realistic
Luck is magical cinematic as character ability. Even if a meta-gaming feature to improve survivability.

Most contortion is a slow to use skill, in my opinion, rather than a quickly used anatomical feature.

I suppose people may throw around the "meta-gaming" explanation, but you can't call them realistic advantages at their base.

Re: Advantages List: Cinematic vs Realistic
Ok then. This actually relates to something I posted in another thread, what may be supernatural effects achieved through mundane means. By which I mean, there are aspects of Danger Sense, and scenarios, where the effect would definitely be supernatural, but as the entry in Tactical Shooting says, there are also circumstances where they represent a mundane effect.
Even with the TS reference, I'd still put it as borderline cinematic. Quote:

Is one person who seems to have a given trait enough for it to be 'realistic'? two, three? how many before we can consider it realistic? I'd stand by my calling it borderline cinematic. Quote:

But realistic aging sucks so bad, that I doubt anyone would ever want to play games with it. Also people start aging much sooner than 50.

No earth animal I know of has all three. Humans may have the first two realistically.
