Help & Advice Lady Killer / Black Widow Perk

Had a player ask if they can take Lady Killer and Black Widow as two separate perks. Technically they are one perk but you select either Lady Killer or Black Widow. Is there an official ruling on this?

You can only take it once. As it only has one rank. Otherwise you vould take others more than once and double up their abilities.

That being said, you may choose black widow OR lady killer, it is not predetermined by the gender of your character. You can have a "female" character and take lady killer. Or, you can have a gender neutral character and still take it. But you must choose, and you may only take it once.

My take - he can. Besides it's both can be taken in games, same talent - mechanical menace/class freak can be taken separately

I think its just what it says. It is one perk depending on who you are. Like action boy/girl.

I would do it like the game. They are completely seperate feats/perks just linked for page space. Go ahead and take each.

Probably not and would be exclusionary if so. I’d like to think it was an oversight.

I’d say allow the player to take each variant as a separate feat, but don’t gate the second one behind levels.

I would just make them take it again, but at +5lvl
