Unusual Training

Unusual Training†

1 point

With sufficient training, certain cinematic skills and
techniques might work in reality. You’ve studied one of
these. Unusual Training is an Unusual Background that lets
you buy a cinematic capability without Trained by a Master
or Weapon Master. Since what’s “cinematic” is often not the
feat but the ability to perform it unrestricted, the perk might
specify a set of “believable” circumstances that must be true
to use the skill or technique. For instance, Unusual Training
(Dual-Weapon Attack, Both attacks must target the same
foe) permits a fighter to improve Dual-Weapon Attack for
use on one opponent; he still has the full -4 if he attacks adja-
cent adversaries simultaneously, because he lacks Trained
by a Master and Weapon Master. Tameshiwari – realistic
breaking techniques – is Unusual Training (Breaking Blow,
Only vs. well-braced objects out of combat).
