DTR2ed countdown-8-Knacks

Welcome to the eighth blog post counting down to the release of the Disturbance Timeline RPG: 2nd Edition rule set. These posts will continue up to the release of the 2nd Edition on June 1st of 2024 to mark the 10th anniversary of the 1st edition.

This post takes a look at Knacks in DTR2ed, which are completely new for the 2nd edition. They are roughly equal to Perks or Feats in other games, but are considerably more involved at the most complicated level.

As stated in the post on PC changes, Knacks are 'special abilities that modify a stat or skill or grants a new Skill'. As such, they have a very wide range of effects from increasing damage output, to increasing Damage Resistance, to climbing better, to speaking another language, to learning yet more skills. If you want that special ability to knock your PC or NPC up a notch, Knacks are where you look. There are 86 in the rule book and many of them don't have a limit on the number of times they can be stacked.
