Phase Five

Rick Travis visits the ancestral sod during the days just after the Great War. During his days in England, Rick meets up with the daring aviator... Ernie whirled and struck, decking one of the belligerent drunks, but the other smashed his mug against Ernie's head hard enough to send him reeling as two more of the locals closed in. Suddenly a stocky man with a vaguely Oriental air struck one from behind, felling him, and grabbed the other's arm, twisting it behind him. "Let's keep this a fair fight, shall we?" the stranger advised, holding the man in a steel hard grip. Shaking his head to clear it, Ernie rushed the remaining combatant and tackled him to the ground, raining several quick blows that soon battered him into submission. The stranger released his captive with a shove and reached out to help Ernie to his feet. "Name's Rick Travis, thought it looked like a bit more fun than you could handle alone." Striking up a quick friendship, Rick and Ernie become drinking buddies and the terror of barroom brawlers everywhere. But it is when Ernie plans to confront Admiral Tirpitz in his castle that Rick's true value is revealed. "Let me get this straight. You plan to jump out of a perfectly good plane, land in a heavily guarded castle and somehow convince Tirpitz to call off the Dutchman. You're nuts." Rick grins widely. "Got room for one more in that plane? You need someone to watch your back."

Difficulties assigned for complex maneuvers while acting (e .g walking on a tightrope, doing brain surgery while hanging from a trapeze) are reduced by two. Falling rolls gain a +2 bonus. When used acrobatically, your Athletics skill can never be used to restrict another skill, only complement it.[/ooc] [ooc=Demoralizing Stance (Fists)]As a trained fighter, you are able to adopt a stance that makes it unequivocally clear how capable you are of handing someone his ass. Whenever displaying your fighting stance or techniques, you may roll Fists instead of Intimidation.[/ooc] [ooc=Linguist (Academics)]Normally, someone may only speak a number of additional languages equivalent to the value of his Academics skill. With this stunt, your character may speak five additional languages.[/ooc] [ooc=Lethal Weapon (Fists)]Your martial skill is dedicated to dishing out punishment, and your hands are practically illegal in most civilized countries. Any time your opponent opts to take a mild or moderate consequence from a blow you have dealt, you may spend a fate point to increase the severity of that consequence by one step, increasing mild to moderate and moderate to severe. The opponent may then reconsider whether to take the consequence, or instead offer a concession. You may not do this to an opponent who is already taking a severe consequence.[/ooc] [ooc=Martial Arts (Fists)]Your training in the martial practices of the Far East have honed your abilities with your Fists into a finely disciplined form that is part combat skill, part art form. This gives you an acute insight into the means and methods of barehanded warfare. You may use your Fists skill to study an opponent by engaging him and testing his defenses with your own martial techniques. You must do this as a full action during an exchange. Your target must defend against this action, which is essentially a maneuver, with his Fists skill. If you succeed, you have gained insight to your target's fighting techniques, and may place an aspect on the target, as with a successful maneuver. Whenever you tag this aspect, you gain an additional +1 to your roll, for a total of +3 instead of the normal tagging bonus of +2.[/ooc] [ooc=Mighty Leap (Athletics)]The character's leaping ability borders on the superhuman. The character may reduce any height related borders by up to three.[/ooc] [ooc=Slippery (Athletics)]You gain a +2 to all attempts to defend against knockback or push attacks, as well as any attempts to escape from bonds.[/ooc] [ooc=Safe Fall (Athletics)]The character can skip effortlessly down sheer surfaces without harm, allowing him to safely fall great distances. When the character falls, but is near a solid surface, such as the wall of a shaft, or has sufficient other things like ropes to offset his fall, all falls are treated as two categories shorter (and may be reduced another step with Athletics as normal).[/ooc] [ooc=Herculean Strength (Might)]The character is incredibly strong, capable of lifting great weights. All weight-based difficulties that don’t involve combat are reduced by two steps.[/ooc] [/table]
