It came down to "Special" or "Unusual"--neither of which are entirely satisfying, but I guess they're just placeholders in some ways, anyway, so I don't know how much it matters.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-19095472716150757072011-06-10T12:35:03.443-04:002011-06-10T12:35:03.443-04:00Hey, on the magic/special conundrum, how about som...Hey, on the magic/special conundrum, how about something to tie in with the name of the setting: "strangeness"?

This is what I'm thinking: "Special" will denote a unusual or esoteric ability. Mundane intellectual abilities (i.e. lawyer or scientist) are of little adventuring consequences and will just be background--"monster veterinarian", "famous occult scholar", "world's greatest detective", or "mad scientist" <i>would</i> go here.<br /><br />"Knack" will be for general dexterity/agility and fine motor skill related training or talents. So "ace mechanic" goes here ("former mechanic" as an occupation, however, would just be background).Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-22363263746459900222011-06-09T12:25:11.117-04:002011-06-09T12:25:11.117-04:00I ran into that Popeye image, along with otherscar...I ran into that Popeye image, along with otherscartoons made real, a few weeks ago.
