Talent Profiles from Solar Echoes (part 4)


Awareness: Spotter
Snipers often have the help of a spotter—someone who functions as a lookout and maintains a persistent awareness around the sniper while he is focused on his target. By observing the environment to aid an allied gunman, the user will accurately make calculations for distances, angles
and atmospheric conditions. The Spotter also keeps a constant vigil, scanning the surrounding environment, which prevents the sniper from being surprised. A +2 bonus is also added to the sniper's attack against his target when someone with the Spotter talent is present. However, this is a high level talent, and requires a number of prerequisites, including an Awareness skill level of 12, the Keen Observer talent, the Rapid Assessment talent, and the Watchful Eye talent.
Persuasion: Culturally Sensitive
Have you ever surprised someone by speaking their language? There is always a certain amount of respect that people have when someone can speak their native tongue. The same applies in space—for example, even if your clicking sounds aren't quite the right percussive pattern, a Chiraktis will smile (sort of) and appreciate your efforts. Most Persuasion Talents allow the character to improve the chances of a favorable response from someone through different approaches, but the Culturally Sensitive Talent automatically improves a character's chances when speaking to a different race, as long as that character has invested some Skills in that race's language. Unlike other Persuasion Talents, this one may be taken multiple times, once for each race other than the character's own race.
