Meticulous

?

You pay attention to details, are scrupulous about everything, and are precise in your words and thoughts. Being careful is its own reward, because those who fail to follow the credo "measure twice, cut once" sometimes don't have the opportunity to make up for their initial mistake. Many organizations have places for someone like you, though sometimes you have a hard time making friends. It's dawned on you that being as hard on other people as you are on yourself might be to blame, so you've added "be nicer" to your list of self-improvement projects, though it keeps slipping to the bottom of the list.

You gain the following characteristics:

• Conscientious: +2 to your Intellect Pool.
• Skill: You have an eye for detail. You are trained in any task that involves finding or noticing small details.
• Skill: Being careful includes improved fine motor control. You are trained in any task that involves manipulating small or delicate objects, working with machinery, or doing similar tasks where a shaking hand could be the difference between success and failure.
• Skill: You're hard to fool because your cognizance is more than a tool-it's a shield. You're trained in Intellect defense tasks.
• Inability: Your conscientious eye for detail sometimes puts off strangers. The difficulty of any task involving positive social interaction is increased by one step.
