One fun cinematic shtick is when the main character's theme music starts playing. You know that when the music starts playing, the character is going to do something dramatic and amazing.


So, how's this for a fun rule? Every character can take theme music, a clip of, say, 1 minute or something in length. Once per campaign, the player can play the clip of music. While the music is playing, the PC gets -1 TN to all target numbers.

The clip must be played from start to finish....you can't pause the tape and "save" bonus time. This means that even specifically when you hit play is a matter of strategy.
