[BNW] New skill

[MKirk2112@aol.com]

Hi Everybody,

Here's a new skill my group uses.  Depending on the kind of game you are in, 
it could either be quite useful, fairly worthless, or totally inappropriate 
given the atmosphere of your game.

Delta Knowledge (Smarts)
     Subskills:  Delta prime, Defiance, public
     This skill covers knowledge about deltas: their code names, powers, 
location, hang-outs, etc.  The Guide should consider the specificity, 
restrictedness, and how commonly known the information is to determine the 
TN.  
     In the case of Delta Prime, it may be quite difficult to get information 
about secret identities, family, etc., but knowing which Primers work in 
which city, specifics of their uniform, and possibly even what types of 
"disturbances" they get assigned to could be known.  The Defiance subskill 
covers similar information about deltas in the Defiance.  For the public 
deltas (such as movie stars, deltaball players, etc.) the information 
available about the public delta would be similar to that about any other 
type of celeb.

I have used this skill for reporters and delta "groupies" as well.  In some 
ways it is a better skill for an NPC than for a hero.

Ever Defiant!

Guide Matt
