Why would Konsi play with such a handicap?

  1. Growing up as a street urchin, she never really had access to lots of clothes. When not wearing armour, or dressing up for an event, she’s still most comfortable wearing just a simple robe.

  2. She’s trying to practice keeping her cool under pressure, and that’s not effective if you have a lot of safety.

    We basically run a system where we deal texas hold’em, and if you succeed at a relevant skill check, you get handed an extra card to use. It’s not quite the same outcome for skill use as it would be, but it’s a reasonable method to “skew the odds” in your favour.
