Skill Prompt Cards for Fate

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Fate Skill Prompt Cards supercharge character creation in Fate Core with questions and other prompts based on central axis of action for your characters: their skills.

This deck contains 18 skill cards for use while playing Fate Core, plus an instructions card replicating the instructions below.

HOW TO USE FATE SKILL PROMPT CARDS

These cards map to the 18 default skills in Fate Core. Use them to distribute skills across the character group and to add character details relating to your top skills.

FOR CHOOSING SKILLS AS A GROUP

  • First, each player claims a different skill card for their top-tier skill (the peak of the pyramid).
  • Next, each player takes an unclaimed card for a second-tier skill.
  • Finally, choose any skill you don't have yet for your other second-tier skill (including any someone else already picked).

FOR CHARACTER CONCEPTS

  • Top-Tier Skill: Answer two or three questions from that skill's card.
  • Second-Tier Skills: Answer one or two questions from those skills' cards.
  • Work these answers into your character's backstory and aspects as desired.

Given the recent Fate of Cthulhu, I was wondering if it would be possible to update the cards to include skills from other Fate games. Obviously for FoC I’m thinking about Academics. Or maybe make “boosters” every once in awhile?

The worst format for printing a PDF of 'playing cards' ever. One per page, dead center, every other page is the back of the cards. 38 pages total print volume. I'm glad the price of the combined set was reduced to essentially 'give' them to me for free, so no complaints on the cost for what I received.

That's the input format for the cards for print-on-demand. Since these were done quickly, with an uncertain market, I didn't figure on the PDF having much utility, especially with regards to sinking in the time to reformat everything for a PDF that I *couldn't* use to produce the print version of the cards. Pretty sure Adobe Acrobat will let you print "only even pages" and "9 to a page" (or other grid patterns) last I looked, which would likely make the file in its existing form work dandy.

Any chance of adding blanks (or a booster of blanks, ala It's Not My Fault character cards) for custom skills?

Hmmm... given the nature of the deck I'm not 100% sure what those offer over a blank index card?

One of the uses of the Skill Prompt cards is to randomly assign skills to characters/NPCs. Shuffle the deck and deal three cards to each character and that is their top three skills.

Blanks would allow for the custom skills to be inserted into the stack for random assignment.

I've buyed the PDF and thought to print it later by myself (because I do not live in America). There is a watermark with my order number on it. Is that normal or is there a possibility to get the PDFs without it?

Our defaults are set to avoid watermarks, not sure how that happened. I'll investigate and address it today.

Waiting for my physical cards to get here in the mail, but are there any suggestions on how to print these cards from the pdf? The way they come, it looks like they'll print as full sized pages.

The dimensions of each 'page' is the dimensions of an individual card. With at least some PDF printing programs you should be able to tell them to print multiple pages to a single page — requires some fiddling around with the print dialog settings in Acrobat for example.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
