New type of FATE stunt(s)

<< < (2/3) > >>

SaintAndSinner:
Not an entire skill.  A trapping of a skill.  I'm still thinking about how to limit it (or if its just crazy)  :o

It would be something like theory in practice but limited to things that could work in a mundane sense.  This would not be a power.

iago:
The power rebate stuff out there aside, Fate isn't really about taking stuff away, it's mainly just about adding stuff. That, I think, is where this stunt idea could be on shaky ground. Taking a trapping away from a skill you don't intend to use much isn't much of a downside. When someone wants to be, say, a "poor swimmer", that's something best reflected in an aspect rather than in a stunt which takes Swimming away from Athletics (and then adds 2 trappings to another).

SaintAndSinner:
That's a fair cop.  I'm not trying to game the system it just struck me that the math was similar. 

Falar:
Huh. I know it had my game the system nerves tingling for some reason, but I couldn't for the life of me think of what it was. Other than what I mentioned about doing things like dropping the Command trapping of Presence to add in the Social Defense and Social Initiative trappings from Empathy. Which would make Presence a powerhouse of a skill and way too handy.

Eg, it would be gaming the system.

I get your intent in considering this option, no worries. But I'm clear on why the suggestion has problems. :)
