Combat Clown
Combat Clown works both for those who are intentionally funny, and for the straight laced type who simply goes mad when people ridicule him. Needless to say, this schtick works for hotheaded characters, although the contrast of a normally peaceful Shaolin monk who goes insane whenever anyone laughs at him might be amusing, too. By Carl Cramér, based on schtick by Kevin Mowery, modified by Oscar Ubeda Segmar. It's going to happen sooner or later. You're going to blow a roll in a big way at a critical moment and people are going to laugh at you. In fact, if you botch, you can decree that your character does something unintentionally funny when he screws up. Botch: Everyone with Empathy lower than your Charisma laughs at you, losing their next Action or 3 Shots in the progress. You get +d10 AV for the duration of the current Sequence. If your description of what happens makes the GM laugh, you get the bonus for the rest of the fight. What, they're laughing at you and there's not a fight going? There will be...

 * You botch.

Magnetic Hero
By Carl Cramér (as Honest Joe) You have a way with people, and inspire trust and confidence. Any basically good and law-abiding people gladly give you a hand, though there must be a reason if they are to accept discomfort or danger to help you.
