Omake Metabonuses

HypoSoc rewards fan-written omakes with various bonuses that the omake author gets to choose between.  These bonuses can range from gaining/improving skills, gaining headway towards training, free research credit, and various other things.

Occasionally, rewards can include the option for the omake author to receive a 'Metabonus,' which affects subsequent omake bonuses received by that author.  Metabonus rewards are generally offered after canon or high-quality fan omakes.

At the end of Year 1, metabonuses were reset.

## Year 1

### Why Not Both?

> Whenever Xicree chooses a reward, xe may instead choose two. A d3 will be rolled.
> On a 1, the first option will be earned.
> On a 2, the second option.
> On a 3, both.
>
>

### Do Over

> Whenever BFldyq fails or gets a below average result on a reward roll, it is immediately rerolled.
> Even if it would result in a lower gain, the new die is kept.
>
>

### Terrible Luck

> Whenever RCa fails a bonus roll, a failure stack is accrued.
> Upon reaching three stacks, RCa gains a small bonus.
> At five stacks RCa gains a medium bonus.
> At seven, RCa gains a large bonus and the stacks reset.
> Succeeding on a bonus roll resets the stacks to 0.
>
>

### Spin the Wheel

> BFldyq, whenever offered bonus options, may instead choose to Spin the Wheel.
> This option forgoes choice, allowing the decision to be made by a dice roll.
> Any option chosen by Spin the Wheel is slightly improved over manually selecting it (larger dice, greater odds, etc).
> Spin the Wheel has a chance to Jackpot instead of choosing a bonus.​
>
>

### I Like Those Odds

> Whenever Falconis chooses a bonus option with odds less than or equal to 5%, one maximum willpower is automatically gained.​
>
>

### Stockpile

> Rather than choose a bonus, vali may choose to Stockpile the award.​
> A stockpiled award may be consumed to gain an additional bonus option for a future reward.​​
> Options chosen this way are slightly improved.​​
> vali may Stockpile as many bonuses as desired, and may consume more than one at once.​​
>
>

### Mulligan

> Whenever presented with a set of bonus options, vali may instead choose to reject them all, and be granted a new set.
> This can be repeated as much as desired.
> Each new set will have one less option then the previous.
> Mulligan has a small chance to provide better than normal options.​
>
>

### Quantity over Quality

## Year 2

### Personal Headcanon

> vali will always be offered "5% chance to gain a NON CANON use" as an additional bonus option
>
>

### Reroll

> Whenever Da Boyz makes a bonus roll and fails, they get another try
>
>

### Secret Menu

> Whenever Artful Lounger selects a bonus, they may instead choose an unchosen option from a previous omake bonus selection.
> The selection can be no more than three omake old.
>
>

### Try, Try Again

> Whenever Helix selects a bonus, they may instead choose any previous option they selected and failed to receive for another shot at it.
> Once a bonus has been successfully acquired, it may no longer be selected.
>
>

### Hedged Bet

> Whenever Eler0 is offered bonus options, they may make a second, backup choice. If they fail to obtain their main option, they have a 50% chance to get to roll for the back up.
>
>

### Critical

> Whenever Helix successfully wins a bonus (other than metabonuses) it has a 10% chance to be doubled. Bonuses that can't be doubled become more effective instead.
>
