Unusual Training

1 point

With sufficient training, certain cinematic skills and tech-
niques might work in reality. You’ve studied one of these.
Unusual Training lets you buy a cinematic capability in a real-
istic campaign, or without a prerequisite advantage such as
Gunslinger, Trained by a Master, or Weapon Master. Since
what’s “cinematic” is often not the feat but the ability to per-
form it unrestricted, the perk might specify a set of “believable”
circumstances that must be true to use the skill or technique.
Examples:
Unusual Training (Breaking Blow, Only vs. well-braced
objects out of combat): Lets you break boards.
Unusual Training (Dual-Weapon Attack, Both attacks must
target the same foe): Lets you improve the Dual-Weapon Attack
technique for use on one opponent. You still have the full -4 to
attack adjacent adversaries simultaneously.
Unusual Training (Musical Influence, Only on tame pets):
Lets you be a snake-charmer.
