What about Face from the A-Team?  Think that's where they got the name for the archetype?

I meant the character, not the actor.

No. he got fired for sleeping on the job durring the time of emergency, when the network was going haywire.

they came in and needed someone to blame.

after that, he got an unfulfilling job at the local zoo, and fell asleep in the panda cages.

I heard that was all a cover story and that he was really a sleeper agent for Winter Night and when they bombs started dropping, he was caught in an EMP blast that took out his skillwires, headware memory, and satlink, causing a psychotic episode resulting in his belief that he IS Anjelina Jolie. Last I heard, he was trying to date his own brother.

Well, he's got Brad Pitt to dream about, right?

On the Face, keep in mind that if someone finds out your a Social Adept, they're going to be less likely to trust you, at least, most would. That's why it's important to build up your Masking abilities.

You'd think they would figure out that they come back broke every time they go to borrow a cup of flour from you, and would just stay away for that reason.

Social adepts with Kinesics are the best at meets. No one really knows that you're reading their body language to tell if they are lying or not.

so, what happens when your J is a social adept?

turnabout is fair play... and that's one of the jobs that a social adept could make a killing at.

Most certainly, but I wouldn't do any flat out negotiations with a Social Adept.

Basically, I let my players gamble on negotiation as a method of payment. I give a flat rate, and once the Negotiation skill is used, then the price can go up or down 30%. 5% per net success on an opposed Negotiations (Willpower) test.
