Charm Schticks (Action)

Heroic Action Role-Play

Blunder About

Basic Action

You blunder about in an area with a diameter equal to your move (without actually moving, if it is in detailed time). If there are any hidden features, secret doors, traps, hidden clues, ambushes or other surprises (good or bad) that the GM has planned or feels like springing, you stumble into them.

Confident

Inherent

You are sure of yourself and not easily swayed by intimidation. You can use your Charm skill as a defense against Impression stunts.

Honest Joe

Inherent

You have a way with people, and inspire trust and confidence without really trying to. Any basically good and law-abiding people gladly give you a hand, though there must be a reason if they are to accept discomfort or danger to help you. Sometimes, you can even inspire this trust in goons and villains, but usually only after you have soundly trounced them.

This lets you charm people without really trying to, and tends to make you a leaders of mobs and posses. You may come into conflict with official authority figures.

Inspired by Love

Trigger Action (Combo)

Once per day, when doing something relevant to a loved one, you can use this schtick to gain an additional Fortune point to spend on that action. Your loved one need not even be present to use this schtick; if you can just describe a meaningful flashback, the schtick works. It helps if you have a a scarf, rabbit's foot or other token to remember them by.

Sidekick

Inherent

You have a trusty sidekick, that is loyal beyond belief (though sometimes a bit slow). This can be a trusted henchman, wing man, kid admirer or other partner.

A sidekick does not gain experience, but increases in ability as you do. The sidekick is built on 80% of your own character points and the same skill maxima you have.

In a campaign where player characters gets some special break, such a the planes characters in Crimson Skies have, a sidekick also gets this bonus or gear.
