======Knacks====== Character abilities in Reunion come from Knacks - short statements about your character's capabilities. **At game start you will have 8 of these; 2 from your backgrounds, 3 from the Mental or Physical lists and 3 from the Insider or Outsider lists**. Knacks are permissions - if someone has a knack they can just straight-up do the thing unless directly opposed by similarly potent capabilities. If you don’t have a knack, you can still do the thing but the GM is free to give you a cost (//you can do it if you use up this/you can do it but it’ll do this back to you//) or a compromise (//you can’t do that but you can do this//). If a knack gives you an ability that can be used once per session, you may use it in downtime if you don't use it during a week's session. ===Physical - your speed, your strength, your stamina=== * I can punch through bricks. * I can draw a gun quickly and aim perfectly. * I can lift tremendous weights. * I barely feel the effects of drugs, illness or exhaustion. * I’m double-jointed and can contort through tight gaps. * I can scale walls and leap large gaps. * I have extensive self-defence or martial art training. * I only make as much noise as I want to when moving or hiding. ===Mental - your knowledge, skills and smarts=== * I can improvise first aid in the field and given time and resources can nurse people back to health. * I have in-depth knowledge of... * Cutting-edge science. * Pop culture and celebrities. * History and folklore. * I have an innate sense of direction and intuitively know the layout of any area I travel through. * I speak dozens of languages, and am able to pick up more with only a few day’s exposure. * I’m quick-thinking and can react faster than pretty much anybody else. * I can take apart, understand and put back together most simple machines and electronics. ===Insider - privilege, wealth and power=== * I can get a meeting with whoever’s in charge. * I can easily find out who pulls the strings of any authority figure. * I’m a a taste-maker and trendsetter, as welcome on the red carpet, as I am in an artists' commune. * I have a crew of workers and assistants I can delegate minor tasks to. * I’m famous - maybe a leading politician, a rock star, or an athlete. * I’ve been initiated into a secret society, and can use their connections and resources at a price. * I can usually command respect by invoking my profession. * I'm a master of logistics and can make sure a plan comes together. ===Outsider - street smarts, hard life experiences, criminal enterprise=== * I can pick locks and crack safes. * I can make computers do what I want, even if other people would prefer it I didn't. * In any new city I can find a friendly contact among the destitute. * I can blend into a crowd. * I know the hidden paths to travel through cities without being seen. * I can make anyone sympathetic to me with a few hard luck stories . * I can spin a story that’ll keep anyone’s attention so long as I keep talking. * I live off the grid, and can’t be found on any official database.
