Lucky

1/chapter, reroll any/all dice
After you’ve made a roll of any kind, if you decide you don’t like it, declare you will use this gift.
Choose which of your dice you want to re- roll. Any dice that you re-roll, the new result stands... even if it’s worse.
If your roll was a challenge, you may also choose that your opponent re-rolls none, one, or more of their dice, too. (If the Host is rolling blind, you may only ask the host for the numbers that came up on the dice, and not what size dice the Host rolled.) You must choose what dice your opponent re-rolls before you re-roll, and the new results stand, even if they’re worse for you.
After the re-rolling, you can still claim other bonuses... but you’ll have already tapped your Luck, so you can’t re-roll any of those dice.
This ability recharges at the start of the next episode.

Diplomacy

d12 when being diplomatic
You may claim a d12 bonus to any Deceit, Negotiation or Presence in any diplomatic setting where you have at least one hour (in game time) to talk with your targets.
If you fail your roll in this diplomatic setting, you do not automatically offend your target. (Other characters without this gift would suffer a negative Opinion.)
If you’re in a hurry, consider the Fast-Talk gift, instead.

Astro-Soak -1

Hexapod Soak -1

Hurt Soak -3

1/scene
You may use this Soak to negate 3 points of damage. (And you can’t negate 1 point now and 2 points later, or something weird like that. It’s all or nothing.)

You can use this ability once per scene. (That is, once about every 5 game minutes.) It recharges at the start of the next scene, when you’ve had some time to clean yourself up. You’re still battered and bruised, but now it only hurts when you laugh.

Brawling

You can use the Brawling Attacks of “Grapple,” “Pummel”, and “Overbear”. Brawling Methods are described on page 87.

(Characters without this Gift cannot use Brawling Attacks. They must make do with the inferior Unarmed Attacks.)
