 Every character in the Tank Girl game has at least one special skill unique to the world and that probably won't be found anywhere else (but now we've got em in CyberPunk!).
For one skill point (or as a 1-point merit for characters created using the Ocelot system or our Merits and Flaws rules) a character can select [4 - (INT/3)] skills from this list. Smarter characters have less useless skills than the average wanker.
Now that you know how many useless skills you get, it's time to determine which specific skills they are. Roll randomly on the chart bellow, or pick your favorites.
By now some of you have looked over the list of unique skills and are shaking your heads. If you aren't you're a loony. If this is you we have five small words for you "Get a grip you wanker!" The idea of this is to have fun and play a Tank Girl-esque character. Your game master should try to throw in a use for one of the skills a character has every few adventures and as a player, try to use them as often as possible.
The mechanics for using these skills is fairly simple. You see, they almost always work, unless there's a really good reason for it not to. For most rolls, assume the skill has a base of 12. The difficulty that has to be rolled is left entirely up to the gamemaster and is based on how the character is using the ability.
