Re: Penny Arcade (OOC Discussion)
Little Angel isn’t about appearance in terms of making yourself look attractive, it’s about appearing harmless, playing up on the “it’s just kids” bias and generally the various deception skills.
Because of that it works 100% against both so long as you are a kid. Now, using it as a Persuade skill in an adult setting, that’s different. The 50% thing is when kids are trying to do adult things or things in an adult way, against adults. There are exceptions, largely when there is no adult analog (Thrash is an example, I think. There isn’t an adult skill for using a skateboard.)
