For the first one, let's say, if you're hiding (from beasts or men), you can stay undetected on a roll of Luck on 2d20.

For the second, let's say if you're confronted by a beast, test Luck on 2d20 and the beast will ignore you/leave you alone if you succeed.

For the third, let's say if your target is mounted, you hit them on a successful 2d20 Slick roll.

Sounds good

I am thinking perhaps the second of these skills requires you to sprinkle yourself with coyote urine, hence why you have a jar of it upon your person!

[Animalmother]

I think he was probably rubbing it on himself anyway...

[Stormbringer]

Maybe to mask the smell of his own?

[Stormbringer]

I bet Artham "Crusty Scrotum" Scotum is eying that bottle of coyote urine with envy, dreaming of the medicines he could make from it...

[Wrathbone]

Well howdy and tip yer hat to...

Stacob “Cadaver Kid” Pains

You are Wanted Dead or Alive for the crime of Attempted Grave robbing

You have a 120s bounty on your head.

GRIT 3
SLICK 1
WITS 2
LUCK -1
HP 7

You're a Discharged Deputy with an unearthly hunger and 14 bullet scars.

You have a skill earned by bringing a sword to a gunfight and one earned by losing the cell keys.

You also have a skill you picked up when you missed the train.

You have some lawfolk's knick-knacks, meaning:
List of d100 wanted outlaws
Handcuffs and key

You also have
Tin of 7 biscuits
A canteen with a day's worth of water
2 silver
You shoot a Revolver (d6*) and you have an item slot's worth of ammunition.

You wear a new crystal white straw hat and mount a stolen nag (HP 2 Morale 2, very slow, bad at everything) with a grey coat which likes laughter saddled and with saddlebags.

[Sly Boots]

I have a feeling that one of the first things Crusty is going to do is teach the Cadaver Kid how to be a better grave robber

[Stormbringer]

All right, Cadaver Kid, time to think of some skills you might gotten from those three events...

[Stormbringer]

All right, Cadaver Kid, time to think of some skills you might gotten from those three events...

Here's a suggestion:

Brought a sword to a gunfight = if you attack gun-toting enemies with a melee weapon, you test Grit with 2d20 when hitting.
Lost the cell keys = if you try to pick a lock (with lockpicks or some other suitable tool) you can do so with 2d20, testing Slick
Missed the train = when you leap onto a moving vehicle you test Slick with 2d20.

Whaddya think?

[Wrathbone]

Sounds good, but for the first one could it be to test Grit when being hit, or something similar? I’m thinking the outcome of me bringing a sword to a gunfight wasn’t that I triumphed with derring-do, it was that I survived being riddled with several of my 14 bullet holes.

[Stormbringer]

Yeah, that sounds good.

You test Grit on 2d20 to avoid taking damage if you're hit by bullets.

Just looking at my character stats. One of those should have a negative, everyone else seems to have at least one minus?

Nah, you just got lucky.
