Streetwise

Character Creation

Characters possessing this Skill know how life on the streets works and are adept at surviving by its harsh rules. Streetwise characters can gather information, make contacts, buy and sell on the black market, and otherwise make use of the street's unique resources. The Skill is also important for navigating urban dangers, avoiding the law, and staying on the right side of the wrong people.

Possessed by: Criminals, gangsters, homeless people, private investigators, and police officers.

Specialties: Black Market, Gangs, Rumors, and Undercover Operations.

Dramatic Failure: Your character completely misreads the situation, committing an error that could have fatal consequences. He might try to sell guns to an undercover cop, he convinces a real gun dealer that he's a cop, or he flashes the wrong sign to the gangbangers on the corner.

Failure: Your character has no luck hooking up with any of his street associates, or of convincing the locals that he's legit.

Success: Your character hooks up with someone who can provide what he needs.

Exceptional Success: Not only does your character find someone who can help him, that person turns up at just the right time to provide something quick and cheap.
