An Advantage allows you to roll an extra dice and choose the highest.

A Strong advantage allows you to reroll a die.

Skills and grotesques can be stacked to allow a doubling or trebling of effect.

Grotesques. Buy these with Gen points. You can buy the same grotesque multiple times to stack the effect (up to three times per unique grotesque)

Each counts towards your total grotesque score. You have to roll over this to charm somebody and under to intimidate them. Say which before rolling.

Skills. Buy these with Gen points. You can buy the same skill multiple times to stack the effect (up to three times per unique skill)
