Fast-Draw
This skill allows you to make a weapon ready almost
instantly. By rolling Dexterity + Fast-Draw and getting three
successes, you can draw a weapon and have it ready for use just
as if it had been in your hand all along. The difficulty depends
on how securely stowed the weapon was — a gun hidden in
your underwear is harder to reach than one in a belt holster.
This skill can be used with any weapon. When appropriate,
the Fast-Draw score can be added to your Initiative roll.
• Novice: You have good reflexes.
• • Practiced: You're good, but not great.
• • • Competent: You would have lasted a
little while in the Old West. You could
work Wild West shows. You are known

• • • • Expert: Pretty fast. Your enemies are wary
of your speed in drawing your ebon blade.

been able to take down Billy the Kid.

Fast-Talk
This Skill allows you to convince someone of something
using a sincere expression and an avalanche of words rather than
reasoned debate and logic. It's a surprisingly effective technique,
provided that the mark has no time to think and does not have
a Wits rating of 4 or more. The Storyteller should carefully judge
whether this Skill is appropriate in a given situation, or whether
it would be better to use some other Ability.
