Homebrew Stunts

[ways and means]

Defensive Fighting (fists) When making an attack with your fist you can choose to fight defensively this gives a +2 bonus on fist defense rolls until the beginning of your next turn but subtracts 1 from any stress you caused with that attack. 

Grizzly Display (intimidate) After taking someone out of a fight you can declare the grizzly display aspect without a roll. You also gain a +1 to intimidate check on anyone who has seen one of your displays.

Defensive Fighting looks good.

Grisly Display I'm less sure of, but I guess it's fine. Might need an "if it makes sense" clause though.

I'll add 'em to the list next update.

[Mr. Death]

I've Fought A Lot Of Monsters: You've been in position to see how a lot of supernatural nasties fight--usually because they're swinging their claws at you--and that knowledge is almost as good as just being quick on your feet. When fighting supernatural creatures, you may use Lore instead of Athletics to dodge physical attacks.

[Sanctaphrax]

Might be good to put a bit more definition on that...if a wizard shoots a gun at you, does it help?

But I like the idea, and I'll add it to the list.

[Tedronai]

Isn't that strictly inferior to a stunt in OW?

[Sanctaphrax]

A Few Seconds Ahead is a Power, and I'd rather ignore its existence.

[Tedronai]

Right.  Just one of those powers that blurs the line between powers and stunts.
Why would you rather ignore it?

[Sanctaphrax]

The blurring annoys me, since it makes defensive stunts obsolete.

Plus it's really powerful and rather boring.

And it doesn't fit the character it's on. Abby was not a bullet-dodger.

[Mr. Death]

Might be good to put a bit more definition on that...if a wizard shoots a gun at you, does it help?

Nah. Like the definition says, just physical attacks by monsters and supernatural creatures. Things like swipes with Claws or weapons held in the hands of a ghoul or some such.

[Tedronai]

So a ghoul shooting at you would apply, but not a wizard?  Wizards are clearly 'supernatural creatures' (that 'creature' just happens to be 'human').

Sorry, should have said Weapons wielded by ghouls. Like I said, physical attacks. It's about knowing how the creatures move, like a wildlife expert would have knowledge of what, say, a lion looks like when it's about to pounce.

[Sanctaphrax]

"Melee attacks from non-human supernatural beings", then?

[Mr. Death]

Yeah, that's a little inelegant in phrasing, but it works.

[narphoenix]

What about this?

Hunger Control (Discipline, Requires Feeding Dependency)- +2 to Discipline when rolling against Hunger Stress.

Also, should this be allowed to be takeable multiple times?

[Tedronai]

It should not be stackable with itself.  It might deserve a +3 bonus, though.
