Markdoc Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Re: NO everyman skills If we make the base a phase' date=' or the bare minimum time, how do we simulate that incredibly skilled character who is able to do a job that should take a week in an hour, or who rattles off the correct result off the top of his head where even top men in the field would require days of research? It all depends what we want to simulate.[/quote'] Because if the task is really easy, anyone can do it in the minimum time. Maybe not as well, maybe not with the same assurance of success, but still. If it isn't, the skilled person blows through - successfully - where the less talented will take more time. When it comes to comic tropes like "clean your room in 30 seconds" you are moving out of the area of skills and into superpowers like Change Environment. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
