Example: If you wanted a level three Peformance, it would cost you 12 pts. (2 pts for level one, 4 for level two, and 6 more for level three)

Talents

Armor – You have been trained to fight while wearing various kinds of armor.

Shield – You have been trained to fight with using a shield in combat

Blind Fighting - You have been trained to fight blinded.  Whether this is because you’re blind or simply because you wanted to know how doesn’t matter.  PREREQUISITE:  Melee 3

Two Weapon Fighting – You can fight not only with one weapon in your primary hand but you are trained to fight with your off hand as well.  If you’re ambidextrous this talent simply means you’ve trained to be able to fight with your off hand.

Hand and Foot Fighting – ONLY AVAILABLE TO NON-WAY OF THE LEAF DEDICATED.  This is a blasphemy of the True Dedicated’s way of relieving stress and keeping focus.  A character with this Talent has taken this ancient art of sharp moves, kicks and blows, which are normally done like a graceful dance, and made it a way to kill others with their own bodies.  Think martial arts. After taking this Talent, you can start buying skill ranks in Hand & feet style skill.

Mounted Melee Fighter – You are able to engage in mounted combat with a sword or other hand held weapon.

Mounted Archery - You are able to engage in mounted combat with a crossbow or other form of ranged weapon.

Quick Draw – You are able to ready your weapon for combat in the amount of time that most people are still trying to drawtheirs.

Running Shot - You’re able to use a ranged weapon while running.

Flame and the Void – You have achieved a level of mental discipline normally reserved for Oneness Channelers and you can quiet your thoughts and focus them into a single point of nothingness achieving greater accuracy or mental strength when need be.


Channeling Talents


Any weave or skill, which notes that you must learn it from another who knows it, requires that you have an IC teacher. Also you should be prepared to write an rp outline involving your first experience with this Talent and execute it to its end before it will be added to your list of known Talents.

Combat Caster – You are adept at casting weaves while in combat or otherwise distracted.

Power Heightened Senses – When you embrace the One Power, your senses of sight and hearing become sharper and you are able to see and hear twice as far as most normal humans.  This is bad, of course, if you’re surprised by a sudden noise or burst of light as this will temporarily blind/deafen you.

Tie off Weave – You can “tie off” your weaves, leaving them in effect indefinitely without having to hold them. PREREQUISITE – One Power Finesse 2

Multiweave – You can cast a second or third weave while holding the first. PREREQUISITE – One Power Finesse 3

Sense Residue – You can sense the lingering residue left by channeled weaves, which gives you the ability to search them out. However, you need the Weave Sight Talent to be able to recognize weaves you are unfamiliar with and to perhaps learn them as if they were still in effect.
The traces of weaves fade with time, but the stronger the weave performed, the longer the residue stays. PREREQUISITE – One Power Finesse 3

Weave Sight – You can use this skill to identify weaves as they are cast, held, or tied off.  Unless you already know the weave that was being used, having the Weave Sight would be the only way to identify for certain what you are looking at.  If you also have the Sense Residue Talent then you can also recognize weaves cast by others some time ago.  This talent is the result of extensive education about the five elements and how they combine to make weaves.  If you wish to create your own weaves at some point, you will need this talent. PREREQUISITES – One Power Finesse of 4, score of 3 in all the elements

Unweaving – With this technique (which must be taught by someone who knows it), you can take apart your own weaves as opposed to letting them fade naturally. Weaves undone like this do not leave a trace that could be found with the Sense Residue Talent. With time and concentration, you can also undo weaves tied of by other Channelers as well, but it is much harder than with your own weaves. PREREQUISITE – One Power finesse of 4

Inverting weaves – With this technique (which must be taught by someone who knows it), weaves can be inverted so that only the Channeler who created the weave can see it. For example, Unna is in presence of Swift Quill, who casts an inverted Ward on Unna. Unna can see that Swift Quill holds the One Power, but she cannot identify what he is doing with it, because the weave is hidden.
However, the trace of inverted weaves could still be found with the Sense Residue Talent unless the inverted weaves are also unwoven afterwards. PREREQUISITE – One Power Finesse of 4

Masking the ability – With this technique (which must be taught by someone who knows it), Channelers can hide their ability to Channel even when they are holding the One Power. No manifestations of the OP can be seen, nor can others reliably sense you embracing the Source. If this technique is paired with Inverting weaves, the result is quite formidable and scary: completely invisible Channeling. PREREQUISITE – One Power Finesse 6

Create Heartstone – With this weave (which must be taught by someone who has it), you can turn objects into the fabled “heartstone” substance which is unbreakable according to legends. PREREQUISITE – Earth score of 4

Bridge between Worlds – With this weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) you can create a gateway between the real world and the Dreamworld allowing you to physically enter or exit the Dreamworld.  Note: Entering the Dreamworld in flesh is dangerous as it erodes your humanity. You should use this Talent sparingly or start RPing the consequences to your character’s mental health. PREREQUISITES – Spirit score of 4, Dreamwalking Talent

Use Portal Stone – With this weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) you know the weaves necessary and understand the markings of the portal stones enough to use them with “little” risk of going somewhere you didn’t mean to.  You were, obviously, taught this by someone else who knew how to do this well.  This weave is something not commonly shared for fear that mad Channelers would learn how to do it. PREREQUISITE – Spirit score of 5

Compulsion – This weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) allows you to influence or command the target person.  In roleplay you MUST have the person’s permission (via an rp outline which you both agree to) in order to use this.  Your control takes effect instantaneously even if you or your allies abuse or attack the target. PREREQUISITE – Spirit score of 4

Balefire – This weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) can allow you to point your finger and a pencil thin beam of white hot light, so bright that it makes the sun seem dark, leaps instantly forth.  The balefire slices neatly through any material or object (except heartstone) to its maximum range or until it hits a living being.  Anything stuck by the beam disappears completely and is removed from the pattern.  At its lowest levels a being is removed from the pattern up to 5 seconds ago.  At its most powerful, the balefire can remove something back as far as 10 days!  Speak with Staff before using this and discuss how to determine what strength of balefire is best for your scene.  PREREQUISITE – All elements at 4

Cutting Lines of Fire – This weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) allows you to point your hand and cast out scores of thin, thread like lines of red fire, which cleanly cut and burn through creatures and objects in their path.  The lines whip through a coin shaped area that extends from the point hands slicing and damaging anything in the cone shape.  The wire-like lines neatly cut through stone, metal, wood, and other materials out to a maximum of 90 feet from the Channeler.  PREREQUISITE – Fire score of 5

Restore the Power – This weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) heals a severed (stilled or gentled) Channeler’s connection to the True Source, restoring his or her ability to channel.  Unfortunately anyone who has this used on them has their total op scores reduced by one-half as it is very hard to remove the block which is put into place on the mind by severing.  PREREQUISITE – Water, Air and Spirit scores of 4

Touch of Death – While casting this weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) you send out tendrils of the five powers into the body of your target to manipulate it from within, doing severe damage without apparent injury.  When cast perfectly this will stop the targets heart killing them without any sign of any foul play.  PREREQUISITE – Score of 4 in all the elements

Distant Eye – With this weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) you extend a narrow tendril of weave outward as far as you can normally see.  You can then see as if you were at the end of that weave (thusly doubling your site range) This tendril fits through tiny spaces such as keyholes and gaps under doors so long as they are at least .25” high or wide.  You can not move the tendril if you tie off the weave, only see through it.  PREREQUISITE – Spirit score of 3

Strike of Death – With this weave (which must be taught by someone who has it) you choose a particular type of enemy (such as trollocs) and lightening bolts of power surge from your body and travel outward, unerringly striking every creature of that type within range, killing it.  PREREQUISITE – Score of 4 in all elements


Unique Talents


Channeler (Wilder) – These people don’t need a teacher to show them how to channel, but reach for the Source instinctively using the path of Spring when under pressure and feeling strong emotions.  With some experience, these Channelers can learn on their own to sense channelling and other Channelers around them and feel their potency/potential.
The Channelers of Spring path will eventually succumb to the madness, which touches their mind every time they open themselves to the Source, if they don’t soon find ICly a PC or NPC instructor to show them the path of Oneness. When a character gets a mentor in path of Oneness, consult Channeler (Former Wilder with Mentor) section. Read also more on the One Power and Aes Sedai in the Wiki.
After taking this Talent, you get automatically 1 skill rank in One Power Finesse (Spring) and 1 skill rank in two elements of your choosing.  PREREQUISITE – Latent Channeler Talent.

Channeler (Oneness Student with Mentor) -  The Channelers of Oneness path are those who were found by another Channeler on the path of Oneness and who were taught the way of Oneness before they ever touched the One Power on their own.  These characters are required to feel a sense of calm and peace in order to channel.  With some training, they can learn to sense channelling and other Channelers around them and feel their potency/potential.  (See more on the One Power and Aes Sedai) 
After taking this Talent, you get automatically 1 skill rank in One Power Finesse (Oneness) and 1 skill rank in two elements of your choosing. PREREQUISITE – Latent Channeler Talent

Channeler (Former Wilder with Mentor) – These characters are dangerous Wilders (Channeler of Spring) who were found before going mad by a Channeler of Oneness path and then taught the ways of Oneness. These characters know a sense of calm and peace that is required to reach the One Power on the Oneness path, but they also remember the ever tempting lure of the passionate and life-filled path of Spring…. and the vile taint fouling it.  With training they can learn to sense channelling and other Channelers around them and feel their potency/potential.  (See more on the One Power and Aes Sedai) 
After taking this Talent, the character gets automatically 1 skill rank in One Power Finesse (Oneness) in addition to the ranks in One Power Finesse (Spring) she/he already has. To offset the advantage over purely Oneness types of Channelers, the character must choose one minor mental Flaw from the Flaw listing to represent madness gained by contact with Spring. The character also gains 1 skill rank in two elements of your choosing. PREREQUISITE – Latent Channeler Talent

Sniffer – You can smell the psychic residue left by violent acts and follow the trails of the characters or creatures that committed them. PREREQUISITE – Latent Sniffer Talent

Seedsinger – Your voice is especially melodious and pleasing to hear and it has a special effect on plants when you sing to them. They will grow much faster and will become larger than normal. Sung plants will also be immune to blight and insects. Alone you cannot affect very large areas but in the Age of Legends there were living constructs called Green men that focused the Seedsong of individuals into choirs that affected entire fields. In the Age of Legends the Talent was known as "having a Voice". PREREQUISITE – Latent Seedsinger Talent

Dreamer – You cannot enter and exit the Realm of Dreams at will, but instead you sometimes see vivid, prophetic dreams foretelling the future. They are usually highly symbolic and require interpretation. This Talent is closely related to Foretelling. PREREQUISITE – Latent Dreamer Talent

NOTE: When you are Dreaming about the futures of the other PCs, consult them first. Also if you want to have an interpretably clear dream of some fairly important future event, contact the Staff and work it out with us.

Dreamwalker – You can reach the World of Dreams while sleeping and bend the dream to your will. At first you arrive randomly and most likely jump uncontrollably from place to another. You’re able to affect the dream only in very minor ways (eg. what you’re wearing or others are wearing) and if you met a more experienced Dreamwalker there, you would be in trouble. However, with practice your mastery grows. You can exit and enter as you wish, move to where ever you want and observe others who are dreaming without being pulled into their dream. The highest peak of this Talent is entering other people’s dream with full control or pulling them into your dreams where they are completely at your mercy. The latter is considered immoral by some Dreamwalkers. PREREQUISITE – Latent Dreamwalker Talent

Reader – Every object and being has their own thread in the Pattern. By touching the target and willing to see, you can trace back these filaments and see images of the most important events happening in the PAST to the things, people and creatures that you view. Since these visions have already occurred, they are seen clearly if only as short flashes. Some events are so blindingly strong that you are left weak and with a headache. Ta’veren and the Heroes of the Horn (ie. all the PCs) have usually a cavalcade of images around them and Reading them causes an overflow of visions. PREREQUISITE – Latent Reader Talent.

Note: When you Read someone else’s PC, always consult them first about the images of their character’s current and past lives.

Viewer – You see images surrounding people and things that are important to the Pattern. You may not often be able to interpret what these visions mean, but they foretell FUTURE events and they always come true.  Ta'veren and the Heroes of the Horn (ie. all the PCs) always have images around them. Channelers and people bonded to them nearly always have images. Images of Channelers get blurry when they hold the One Power, especially when they are actually channelling. Channelers loose their constant auras if they are severed from the True Source. PREREQUISITE – Latent Viewer Talent.

Note: When you view someone else’s PC, always consult them first about the images of future around their character.

Foreteller – Foretellers have the ability to see a part of the Pattern. They word this glimpse into the Wheel’s future weaving mysteriously and in a way that is difficult to interpret. Foretellers are so seized by the vastness of the Pattern using them as funnels that they do not remember themselves what they said and will suffer from major weakness and possibly a head-splitting migraine afterwards. This Talent is closely related to Dreaming and is sometimes referred to as waking dreaming. PREREQUISITE – Latent Foreteller Talent.

NOTE: When your Foretelling includes someone else’s PC, always consult them first.
