Power Ups - Power Ups Traits: assorted Talent updates
(I found another change for the Power Ups Traits library that I had in a previous post, adding both here. I thought I could delete the previous post, but cannot seem to do so. I made a note to disregard that and look for this post instead)
(Master Library v5.8)
Talent: Circuit Sense (Power Ups 3: Talents, page 8) In the book, it shows working for these skills: Electrician, Electronics Operation, Electronics Repair, and Engineer (Electrical and Electronics).
In the GCS "Power Ups Traits" library, it reads: as 4 entries, with "Engineer (Electrical and Electronics)" in a Skill Level line with no specializations.
It should probably be split into two entries, "skills whose name is" Engineer "and whose specialization is" Electrical
and
"skills whose name is" Engineer "and whose specialization is" Electronics
Also, should there be a line for "reaction bonus" Anyone for whom you use your skills.
Talent: Forest Guardian (Power Ups 3: Talents, page 10) In the book it shows working for these skills: Bow, Camouflage, Fast-Draw (Arrow), Stealth, and Survival (Woodlands).
In the GCS "Power Ups Traits" library, the skill level modifier for Fast-Draw and Survival don't have specializations.
Should it be "to skills whose name is" Fast-Draw "and whose specialization is" Arrow
and "to skills whose name is" Survival "and whose specialization is" Woodlands
Reaction Bonus: Druids, faeries, and bunnies.
Thanks in advance, it's not a major issue. I
Another Talent that 'probably' needs updating in v5.8)
Talent: Pop Culture Maven (Power Ups 3: Talents, page 14)
From the book, skills: Connoisseur (Virtual Reality Arts), Current Affairs (People, Popular Culture, and Sports), and Expert Skill (Memetics).
-
GCS doesn't have a specialization for Connoisseur, should add specialization in: Virtual Reality Arts
-
GCS doesn't have the specializations for the three "Current Affairs" skills, these should add specialization in:: People Popular Culture Sports
-
GCS doesn't have the specializations for "Expert Skill" skill, it should add specialization in:: Memetics
Also, should there be a Reaction bonus for: Obsessive pop culture devotees.
NOTE, the original entry from Power Ups 3 reads as follows: "Notes: The above skill list is Transhuman Space-specific. A generic Talent might omit the Expert Skill but encompass any Connoisseur, Current Affairs, or Hobby Skill specialty that con- cerns recent art or entertainment trends.
So if this should be for Transhuman Space, then update as described. If this should be for a 'generic campaign, I'm not sure what specialozations (if any) to add.
Should there be a "second" Pop Culture Maven talent added for generic use, with notes for GMs and / or players to modify it to their campaign? (or is that going too far off tangent, opening up too much editing)
Thanks for reading (EDITED for Transhuman Space comments)
Some good news is that Circuit Sense does have a reaction bonus.
Likewise, Forest Guardian
other good news: I've created a pull request for this https://github.com/richardwilkes/gcs_master_library/pull/395
