Each Teen can be said to have their own set of skills. Well, in the Teenagers
on Hol setting those can be broken down into three categories.
Knacks - Specific to the character such as "karate-chop action" or "Wear something Just Like That, only in a size 1" or "Zap Noises on Command" Skills - General to anyone who can learn them, "Knows Karate", "Looks Good In Leather" or "Make Clever Sounds" Clusters - Overall abilities which include many skills or specific knacks within their range, and can be added to by other skills or knacks for a pretty devistating level, "Martial Artist Extraordinaire", "Wears Anything And Makes It Look Perfect", "Immitate All Sounds" |
|
But how do you buy them? Well! Imagine looking back at your Teen's character sheet and seeing that little mark by "KnacKudos". Then look at how your Totem might have changed them. Those are your skill points. This is how to use them: Skills cost 2 k'kudos to buy per level. They can be learned by most people, but usually you'll want to exploit your Stats and place skills which use the best of the Stats! Clusters cost 3 k'kudos to buy per level, and as I said above they're able to be "accented" by skills or knacks which also apply. So, if you've got a "Fire Any Weapon" Cluster, you can also have the skill of "Artillery Range Practice" and even the knack of "shoot my trusty Betsy" all added together. It just makes it easier to actually get the job done - but it's still never a guarantee that your character WILL hit anything... Lists of Knacks, Skills and what might be Clusters! This of course is not a "complete" list. Anything your squirmy little brain comes up with is fine, but just make sure they follow the general rules about what is a Knack, Skill and Cluster, and play fair. |
