Genre Points

A character generates 3 genre points, plus any of the following 
modifiers:
  o +1 for having an Attribute at -2 or lower.
  o +1 for having 6 or more points in Flaws.

The team pools all Genre Points into one common pool which may be used 
at any time to generate Genre Effects, which are explained below. Any 
player wishing to spend more Genre Points than he or she contributes in 
a session must gain the approval of the other players in order to do so.

Genres Effects availiable to Black Talon 05:
  o Blessed Unconsciousness (1 Genre Point): The character blacks out
    and is assumed dead by the opposing side. All attacks against him
    cease, and he automatically wakes up at the end of the fight.
  o Escape Impending Death (3): Wound degradation miraculously stops.
  o Last Hurrah (*): If a character takes a fatal wound, he may spend
    all of his remaining Genre Points in one last ditch effort. His 
    actions must be put towards saving the other characters or 
    getting some vital piece of information/object where it is
    needed. This Effect will only last a few rounds, but the
    character ignores all action penalties during this time. At the 
    end, the character is very dead and cannot be revived.
  o Lucky Break (3-9): Instead of taking full damage, the damage is 
    reduced due to some fortunate circumstance. Every 3 Genre Points 
    spent reduces the wound level by 1.


Leadership in Personal Combat

At the beginning of a combat (roleplaying scale) the leader gets a 
number of Tactical Command Points equal to his or her Combat Sense 
skill. Furthermore, at the beginning of a round the leader may spend an 
action towards making a Leadership roll, to generate Leadership Command 
Points. The threshold of this roll is 1, and takes into account the 
following modifiers:
  o Leader in close combat: -1
  o All situation modifiers
  o Group Size: 3 team mebers = 0; 6 = -1; 12 = -2; 24 = -3; 48 = -4; 
                96 = -5

Leaders themselves cannot take Leadership Command Points - a Leader 
cannot effectively tell herself to look out behind her! Additional 
limitations: In any given combat round, a character may never use 
more Tactical Command Points than his Combat Sense level. A leader 
may not give more Leadership Command Points to a character than the 
leaders' Leadership level, per round.
