List Of your favorite Custom Perks

[Rune]

Not sure if this has been posted before. But in our current DF-game we have introduced a perk for a heavy variant of Dwarfs.
It adds +3 to resist knockback and slams. I think it is called "Massive body".

So when calculating your ST to see if you get knocked back, you get +3 to the ST score (ie. if you have ST 10, with this perk you get ST 13 for purposes of resisting knockback).
Similarly you add 3 to you HPs when resisting a slam (not when performing a slam).

This is perhaps not a "favorite perk", but it was an attempt at illustrating someone who is quite a bit more heavy than his ST/HP would normally justify.

I'd probably price this higher than a perk. I'd model it like Resistance (Occasional, +3) even though this isn't a HT bonus.

Really? I thought it was a bit expensive even for a perk. There aren't many mobs out there who will try to -Slam/Bull Rush you or who has crushing weapons (only ones that can give knockbacks).
And +3 doesn't really do a whole lot anyway. With 15 ST and 20 HPs those +3 really doesn't count for much.

Well, it is your (your guys'?) game. If you feel five points is too much, then it's too much.

Where does that come from?

[Anders]

What I mean is, if they use the front legs it's a punch. If they use the hindlegs it's a kick.

That's my interpretation of this post, but I could be wrong.

Clean and Polished: Your weapon or weapons are always free of defects, marks, and stains. This makes them immensely presentable, which may grant a +1 bonus on Merchant rolls to sell them, or on Reaction checks against those that have an interest in your weaponry. You must take regular care of your weapon(s), or have someone that can perform the maintenance for you.

Well I know that technically the perk I'm about to address isn't a custom perk, but in a game where it's a sort of farcical take on hollywood is the perk Immunity to (Specific Poison)† from PU2 page 11 too cheesy when used for Botulinum Toxin?

It's a single toxin. Why would it be?

I'd say treat it as +3 HP for all purposes except actually having those HP, so you're harder to knockback, harder to Slam, do better Slams but also take more falling damage.
