Edges galore

-EDIT-

After some feedback from the lovely folks at the PEGInc forum, I changed around some of the Edges again: current status:

- Swift Learner: toned down quite a bit: now requires a benny to make a Smarts check at -2 and is a background Edge

- Swift Learner* (Sm d6): May spend a benny after the end of a session to make a Smarts check at -2. If successful, gain 1 point of experience. Once per session

- Educated: renamed Gifted: +4 starting skill points but only for Smarts skills; can afterwards learn a new untrained Smarts skill at half cost, so can upgrade an existing skill + learn the new one, or learn two new Smarts skills.

- Gifted* (Sm d8): +4 skill points to spend on Smarts based skills; may learn an untrained Smarts based skill on gaining a new level at half cost

- Gunslinger: very much altered. Now requires Marksman a prerequisite and only gives a bonus when shooting with a single one-handed gun (so basically pistols and sub-machine guns), to give it a bit more "wild west" feel and make it more attractive for players to use a one-handed gun instead of two guns or a rifle/shotgun/etc.

- Gunslinger (Ag d10, Small Guns d10, Marksman): +2 to Called Shots with a single one-handed gun

- Finesse: is now Heroic rank

Will probably change the Mysterious Stranger Edge soon as well, but needs some more thought on the chances of him appearing.

Removed:

- Commando
- Concentrated Fire

Some new Edges I forgot to post:

- Hit the Deck: +2 to Agility checks to dodge explosions or enemy fire

- Jury Rig (Sm d6, Repair d8): No penalty for making repairs without having spare parts

- Quick Reload (Ag d10, Small Guns or Heavy Weapons d10): May make an Agility check to reload a weapon that normally takes 1 action to reload as a free action

- Run ‘n Gun (Ag d10, Small Guns or Heavy Weapons d10): No penalty for moving in the same round as firing a Snapfire weapon
