Bredeman the minstrel sang through broken teeth and lips to
please his captors, in a voice much too large for his scrawny
body. Not until blood poured from the ears of the warriors and
giant Handra fell from her bench, did the horsemen realize
what was going on. By then it was already too late.
As adventurers in the Forbidden Lands
you work towards a common goal, but
you also need to find your own niche,
something no one else can do. Such tricks and
abilities are called talents. Talents can change
how you use skills, how you recover from damage,
or allow you to do things that would be
impossible for others.
and profession talents are more powerful than
general talents, but they require that you spend
Willpower Points (WP). You gain WP by pushing
dice rolls (see page 44).
STARTING TALENTS
At the start of the game, you can choose a number
of talents based on your kin, your profession,
and your age. Read more about this in Chapter
2. You can increase the rank of your talents and
learn more talents during the course of the game.
