Advantages are the special abilities and training that set the character apart from the average person. All characters have 3 Expert Advantages for free and, at Ring 7, they have 20 Advantage Points to spend. She has already spent 5 of those points increasing her Abilities, leaving her with 15.

We’ve stated a few times that we’ve envisioned Loren as very talented, in both meanings, driven and skilled, but that she has horrible luck and a rather bad case of stuff happens. To represent that high level of skill and sense of something external being in control of her, we’re going to trade out some of her Refresh for more Advantage Points. Trading 2 Refresh grants a character 3 more Advantage points and we’re going to drop Loren from the default 6 Refresh at her power level to a Refresh of 2, getting her 6 more Advantage Points.

Now we have 3 free Expert Advantages and 21 Advantage points to play with.

To start with, we’re going to go with the 3 free Expert Advantages and for that we’re going to hit the high cost stuff that defines her, her Talent and her psychic training.

For the free Expert Advantages, we’re going to deal with stuff that someone in her occupation should know. That would be: business, paranatural knowledge and combat skills. To start with, we’re going to give her the Advantage Professional: Accounting. This is the business training that allows her to carry out the cover and day-to-day tasks of a Psyche secretary. So apparently she can keep accounts as long as they’re not hers. For the next of these advantages, we’re going to go with Occultist. Being versed in paranatural lore is a necessary thing for a secretary. And last, we’ll address some of her basic combat abilities, and to match with the Aspect on being a swordswoman, we’re going to give her Weapon Specialist: Swords. With these three advantages, she has a +1 to attacks using swords, +1 to Knowledge rolls on supernatural subjects, +1 to making Declarations related to accounting and +2 on other accounting related Knowledge rolls.

So now we have our 21 AP and we’re going to purchase four more Expert Advantages. Soft Style which increases her melee defense by +1. You can take that up to three times at Loren’s level, so we’re going to take it a second time (Soft Style x2) giving Loren’s melee defense a +2 bonus total. Next we’re going to give her Deadly Grace which allows her to use her 2 Agility to attack in melee rather than her 1 Strength, not a huge difference, but duplicates her +1. Finally, we’re giving her Acrobat for the swashbuckler image and giving her a +1 for surviving falls and traversing difficult terrain.
