User:Fwcain/PDQ/Stunts

Stunts can be based upon Gifts and Powers, or upon Master [+6] Rank Fortes.

As the name implies, Impromptu Stunts are created on-the-fly, as needed, during game-play. (Or rather, they can be. It's still a better idea to create some before the game, to give your Game Master a chance to review your proposed Stunts beforehand.)

Once a player is satisfied with a particular Impromptu Stunt, he can purchase that Stunt using Training Points, making it now a Permanent Stunt. It costs four (4) Training Points to create a Permanent Stunt associate with a specific Gift/Power or Master [+6] Rank Forte. It costs six (6) Training Points to create a Permanent Stunt associated with a specific Meta-Gift/Meta-Power.

Impromptu Stunts are down-shifted twice (from their parent Gift/Power) for free, or are down-shifted once if a Style Dice is spent. Thus, once a Gift is lowered down to "Poor [-2]" Rank (from absorbing Failure and/or Damage Ranks), any associated Impromptu Stunts can no longer be used.

Permanent Stunts are down-shifted once (from their parent Gift/Power) for free, or are at full Rank if a Style Dice is spent. Thus, once a Gift is Zeroed Out completely (from absorbing Failure and/or Damage Ranks), any associated Permanent Stunts can no longer be used (not until the Gift recovers to at least "Poor [-2]" Rank).
