User:Fwcain/PDQ/Stunts

Stunts can be based upon Gifts and Powers, or upon Master [+6] Rank  Fortes. Even though Stunts can be based upon Fortes (of Master [+6] Rank), they are nonetheless unavailable in any campaign which is not using Gifts or Powers!

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 associated 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.

A Stunt can be "boosted" above its base, default Rank by spending Style Dice. Each Style Dice spent to boost a Stunt gives that Stunt an Upshift (+2 MOD), up to a maximum of "Master [+6]" Rank.

Depending on the Rank of the parent Gift, it may be necessary to require a "base" cost in Style Dice for using a particular Stunt at all. Any Stunt having a default Rank below "Poor [-2]" must spend however many Style Dice are needed to bring up its Rank to at least "Poor [-2]", but not to exceed the Rank of the parent Gift.
