  • Social Graces ♠ is your ability to master the complex social rules and manners that make up everyday Steam Age life. Social Graces include your ability to fit into social situations, to know what to do when confronted with an unfamiliar table setting, or an equally unfamiliar social encounter. Social Graces also includes your ability to cut a dash on the ballroom floor and your knowledge of Burke’s Peerage and the proper modes of address for all occasions. Social Graces are a very important Ability to have if you expect to do more with your life than muck about in the sordid gutters of some lower-caste rookery somewhere. In some ways, it is the Social version of Stealth, in that it covers how to blend in with the crowd and fit in just about any situation. At higher Ability Ranks, Social Graces even covers the mores and etiqutte of foreign nations, and even of Faerie, Dragon, and Dwarven society. * Poor Social Graces Ability assumes you can’t waltz, don’t know any proper manners, and can be expected to wipe your nose on the tablecloth. * Average ability means you know enough manners to get by on the bourgeois everyday level: You can waltz passably and know most of the proper terms of address. * Good Social Graces Ability assumes that your manners are sufficient for most of the Fast Set: You can attend the Theater without making a scene, appreciate a good witticism, and waltz well. * Great Social Graces assumes that you have exceptional manners and a small reputation for being graceful and suave among your social circle. You waltz very well, and are never at a loss for what to say or do in almost any normal social situation. * Exceptional Social Graces assumes you are something of a minor social phenomenon: You are often asked to dine out, you waltz exceptionally well, and can hold your own in any conversation including an exchange with a Dragon or Faerie Lord. * Extraordinary Social Graces assume you are a veritable Lion of Victorian Society: eagerly sought after by hostesses everywhere for your witty repartee, your ability to make the party exciting, and for your divine waltzing skills. You don't have Social Graces—you are Social Graces! Reference: Castle Falkenstein Core Book p163
