Born Talents
Back to Ability Score Bonuses
Natural abilities are something that some people are born with and others aren't. Some are rather minor, while others can affect your entire life. Roll on the chart below to determine your born talents, then write them down on your Character Sheet and make any necessary adjustments. Since a character can have no scores over 25 initially, a born talent will raise the score, at maximum, to 27 to begin with. The exception is Attractiveness -- if your Attractiveness is already 27, raise your score to 28. If it's 28, simply roll again on the chart.
To determine your number of born talents, roll a d100.
