Ice would just get pissed off.

Not like it would knock your teeth out or anything

Zara has a high dex, so staying on a placid horse isn't too hard

But if it spooked?

(Been thrown by a horse once, not fun.)

(Also not fun: getting your foot stepped on by a horse.)

So many things can go wrong if you don't know how to ride.

Oddly, why is there no skill for that? (Would it be covered under 'Drive'?)

There is, but it's in the player's guide I think. Kind of altneative skill

Ahhh

I did know a St who put it under Athletics

Because 'Equestrianism'

but I don't quite agree

Maybe at a higher difficulty though.

And there is Animal Ken

skills should be general

Part of it, though, is knowing how to handle a horse -- yeah, Animal Ken.

the mechanics in WW are so stupid to start with

As an ST I tend to grant it as something of a freebie if your backstory fits.

Like Clem and tractor driving. 🙂

yup.

I can see the ST telling me, "How's your melee?" "Well, someone made me buy Fertilizer application up to two dots"

Yeah

Z is a little skill-heavy, but those skills are.... literature

fortune-telling

crafts (lace)

Earl has Art history as a knowledge

"It's Reputable" -Mr. And Mrs. Smith

I gave Fred "Jack of all Trades" as a merit just to save me looking up somethings. "Does your character have _____ Skill or knowledge?" "Enough to fake it, that's all a pooka needs"

ha!

Zara has performance

which she will NEVER USE

Heh

"Dance like no one is..." "hi Zara, are you dancing?" "Hisss"

Heheh!

Lord, though, how quickly it can be taken away.

Jer HAS Performance.

Can't use it anymore.

Yeah

Spent years raising it, too.

Zara has violin lessons. Because... privileged uptown girl. She -would-

Like Janet might have Athletics, but...

oh yeah

So we have a guitarist with useless hands, and an athlete with a bum hip.

So buy Knowledges, unless you get a brain-eating amoeba, you keep those. 🙂

"My art history knowledge skill is gone... and I got a bad yelp review? What the hell?"

so
