4. Talents

The next set of modifiers derives from what are known as Talents. These are innate traits or facets to help round out what your character can do or how they act as well as giving a slight mechanical benefit whilst doing so. Some of them trade drawbacks in certain areas for increased competence in others. Others are representative of professions for your character.

Feel free to discuss with your ST various Talents that you feel would be appropriate for your character. A sample of Talents are provided here…
