Talents


Talents are unusual abilities some characters possess. They include weird or unique attributes, bizarre skills, and a variety of effects that aren't common among normal folk.


Talents
Name Cost Description
Absolute Range Sense 3 The character can accurately gauge the distance between himself and any object he can see. This talent does not impart any bonus to attack rolls.
Absolute Time Sense 3 The character can accurately guage the passage of time.
Ambidexterity 3/6/9 Normally anything done with the character's off hand is subject to a -3 penalty. For every 3 points spent on Ambidexterity, the penalty is reduced by 1.
Bump of Direction 3 The character has a natural sense of direction.
Combat Sense 15/1 The character can fight blind in hand to hand combat without penalties to OCV or DCV. 15 points buys an Intelligence based skill. Every additional 1 point gives a +1 bonus to the roll. The roll to use this skill take half a phase(half an action).

You must make this roll every phase to keep track of your opponents. Combat Sense has no effect on ranged combat.
Double Jointed 4 Double Jointed characters get a +1 to +3 on Contortionist and sometimes Breakfall rolls.
Eidetic Memory 5 Photographic memory
Lightning Calculator 3 The character can perform math really fast.
Lightsleep 3 Like it sounds. You can make a normal Perception roll to wake up if something is amiss.
Perfect Pitch 3 Allows the character to determine the exact pitch of a musical note just by listening. Gives a +1 bonus to any music related skill roll.
Resistance 1+ The character is more resistant to interrogation and better at fooling lie detectors. Every 1 point give a +1 to the ego roll to resist.
Simulate death 3 The character can slow his metabolism to the point of appearing dead.
Speed Reading 4+ The character can read very fast. 4 points allows the character to read at 10x the normal speed. Every additional 2 points increases the speed factor by another 10x. So, 6 points is 100x, actually I don't think I will let you go higher then 100x.
