Sixth Sense
You may roll a die before any ambush or other situation where you are about to be surprised. If you roll 4+ you are not surprised and may act first.

Tough As Nails
Damage you take from an individual attack is reduced by 2.

Berserker
This talent allows a character to go berserk during combat. Going berserk adds +2 to the Vigor attribute and all damage caused.  A berserk character temporarily ignores all damage effects: note all the damage the berserk character takes, and apply the total when the berserk rage wears off. The Reason attribute is reduced to 0 during the duration of the berserk effect, and casting of magic is impossible.

The character has to attack the nearest enemy and is only allowed to fight in close combat (melee or unarmed). When all the enemies are incapacitated or dead the berserker has to make an Easy (5) check using his or her normal, unmodified Reason score. If the check is successful, the effect ends and the character drops unconscious to the ground. A character who has taken enough damage to be reduced to 0 or less HP is dead or dying. Otherwise the character is knocked out for 2d6 minutes and awakes with a headache. If the roll was unsuccessful, the berserker has to attack the nearest ally but can continue making the roll to come out of berserk every combat turn.

Exceptional Attribute
This talent allows the player to roll two six-sided dice instead of one when making a check using the relevant attribute. The highest result counts.

Natural Armor
Natural armor usually is in the form of scales or thick fur that protects the character from damage. The Defense granted by natural armor works as long as no other armor is worn.

Tinkerer
This talent grants a +2 bonus on all checks related to repairing, dismantling or using technical equipment like mechanical traps, golems, clockwork, etc.
