Editing Scum: The Core Rules (section)

===Fast Build Ups===

* '''You spend a few minutes to build yourself up, but this is a high risk activity.'''

In this circumstance you add +1 to one attribute, but you have to pass an attribute test of some sort, or you don't gain this benefit.

Examples of simple build ups:
* '''Search wheelie bin for a weapon''' - Succeed in a ''Sneaky Bastard'' test to add +1 to ''Nutter''. You got to think cunning to get tooled up.
* '''Buy some plastic ear-rings from Accessorize''' - Succeed in a ''Shrapnel'' test to add +1 to ''Well Shaggable''. Like magpies, the scum are drawn to shiny but worthless trinkets.
* '''Have a line of coke''' - Succeed in a ''Drugs'' test to add +1 to ''I'll cut ya!'' As everyone knows cocaine makes you super confident! And a twat!

Again players are encouraged to make up fast build ups themselves. Its worth noting, of course, that a fast build up never really puts you ahead of the game, as you are losing at least one attribute point for every one you gain.
