The AP reports that American white pelicans have mysteriously abandoned their nesting ground in North Dakota. Says one official:

"It's like they packed up and left in the middle of the night — except they didn't pack up, they just left."
--- Ken Torkelson, a spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Bismarck.

Sounds good to me. Since one of the major schticks of the character is going to be improvising weapons, I suspect that I'll be taking that Knack anyway. :)

I can't find the answer to this in the PG - can I use a Skill or Knack that I don't have? Frex, if I don't take Courtier, can I still make rolls that use the Dancing Knack? (I assume that I can, and just don't add any dice to the Trait - essentially, I'm rolling the Trait by itself. But I figured I'd ask, since that's going to influence some of my choices.)

The short answer: Yes. You can always roll your Trait.

The longer answer: There is a penalty which I can't precisely remember. I know your 10's won't explode, and I think the TN may increase by 5 (i.e., you have to make a Raise to succeed).

See, I post that, and then immediately find the section talking about it. You're exactly right about the penalty. :)
