Could be a real fun combination with pass Block, Shadowing et al. (would negate the effect of NoS leaving the standard -1 for a tackle zone.)

Just imagine a Beastman with VLL, FA, Shadowing and Distaract. You're NEVER going to be able to pass on that guy.

Yeah, I proposed bringing Distract back in one of my earlier (sensble) posts

One I was thinking about (though I haven't thought the numbers through thougherly) is Heroic Leap. May be a player could dodge through an occupied square with a -2 in addition to TZ, etc (and this modifier would override stunty). An agility trait?

Call it sledging, sounds better imho

I don't think anyone would consider this to be an useful agility trait with those negative modifiers. You have to modify it a bit, and whatever the case, I don't like it - too much like Leap.

Yeah, you're right. Ignore that one. I must have either been drunk or overly tired when I posted that one

Hi all,
just writing to remind you that over in New Concepts we've started a skill archive in order to collect all those great ideas for new skills.
Feel free to chip in.
