	Fencing skill represents the defensive training that a student of the martial arts receives. This grants 1 to 3 gives points of virtual armour – so, it’s possible to have fencing 2, but not Swordsman skill, thus be a very good defensive fighter, but still draw from the Average bag to attack. It’s also possible to be a Swordsman, yet have no ranks in Fencing, so be an offensive fighter, or a slasher who uses a broadsword and wears armour.

Line 157:		Line 157:
	Each character has a doom ? Not sure what to do with this one. Tie in to disadvantage ? It would be nice to make all advantages double edged, but I don’t think this will work. Could work in the way that Hubris works in Seventh Sea – where the player picks it and the GM gets to activate it at times – things like Loyalty work – these should all be double edged swords, bringing both fame/Rewards and Danger. Have to think carefully about this area. Possibly the character can opt to have a Doom – this could be Grimm’s Gift – you choose it, then choose a sub-set, like Loyalty, Honour, Love, etc, all of which are core to your Tale and drive stories ??? e.g. if you are in Love, you will be driven to great feats in your Love’s name, but will also be capable of greatness because of that love – yet will also get into trouble because of it.
