- All your Persistence and Resilience skill tests receive a +50% bonus.
- You may not parry, dodge or dive for cover.
You may remain in Battle Fury for a number of rounds equal to your CON.
Upon leaving Battle Fury, you automatically gain three levels of Fatigue.
Born to the Saddle
Requirements: POW 15 or higher, Riding 90% or higher.
Hero Points: 8
While riding, the following effects take place:
- Any penalty to your Riding skill is reduced by –20 %.

Hero Points: 12
You may only use Decapitating Swing with a 2H Axe or 2H Sword and only against an opponent whose SIZ is within ten of your SIZ.
Decapitating Swing is declared before a precise attack, targeting your opponent’s head, is started.
Any attempt to dodge or parry this precise attack gains a +20% bonus.
As long as the attack inflicts at least a Minor Wound, the attack is converted to a Major Injury that decapitates the target.
Disease Immunity
Requirements: CON 15 or higher, Resilience 70% or higher.
Hero Points: 8

Empathic Wound
Requirements: POW 15 or higher, Healing skill at 90% or higher.
Hero Points: 10
With Empathic Wound, you may offset the injuries a companion has sustained by transferring the hit point damage to yourself.
A wound appears on your body at the same hit location as your companion.
One hit point of damage may be transferred each Combat Round, during which neither patient nor healer may move or perform other Combat Actions.
Each Combat Round, you must make a Resilience test with a –40% penalty or take one level of Fatigue.
Empathic Wound is incapable of re-growing or re-attaching severed limbs or resurrecting a character.
Heroic Aura
Requirements: CHA 15 or higher, Influence skill at 90% or higher.
Hero Points: 12
All allies within your CHA in metres will be heartened by your presence, gaining your CHA as a bonus to any Persistence or Resilience tests they are called upon to make.

If this is successful, they gain your CHA as a bonus to all Weapon skills for the remainder of the Combat Round.
Linguist
Requirements: INT 15 or higher, two Language skills (aside from your native tongue) at 50% or higher.
Hero Points: 8
In order to use this ability, you must either converse with a speaker of a strange language for one hour, or simply hear the language being spoken for two or more hours.
You then automatically gain the Language skill in that language at its basic score.
A successful improvement roll when improving a Language skill doubles the skill points gained (roll 2D4+2 rather than 1D4+1).
Loremaster
Requirements: INT 15 or higher, four Lore skills at 50% or higher
Hero Points: 10
Any time you fail a Lore skill test, you are entitled to make an immediate Persistence test (with the same modifiers as the original Lore test) to see if you can recall some shred of knowledge germane to the subject at hand.
Poison Immunity
Requirements: CON 15 or higher, Resilience 70% or higher.
Hero Points: 8

Hero Points: 10
You gain a +20% bonus to Persistence tests to integrate runes.

Skin of the Bear
Requirements: CON 15 or higher, Resilience 90% or higher.
Hero Points: 10
Skin of the Bear gives you one armour point of natural armour on all hit locations.
This stacks with equipped armour.
Slaying Touch
Requirements: POW 15 or higher, Martial Arts 90% or higher.
Hero Points: 15
Slaying Touch is declared before a precise attack is started (the type of precise attack is up to you, though if the target is wearing armour, it will have to be bypassed).

The target must immediately succeed at a Resilience test with a –40% penalty or die.
Tireless
Requirements: CON 15 or higher, Athletics 90% or higher.
Hero Points: 8
You may engage in medium activity for a number of minutes equal to your CON x 10 before risking Fatigue.
The time between subsequent Fatigue tests for continuing to engage in medium activity is likewise your CON x 10 in minutes.
You may engage in heavy activity for a number of Combat Rounds equal to your CON score before risking Fatigue.
The time between subsequent Fatigue tests for continuing to engage in heavy activity is likewise your CON score in Combat Rounds.
You also recover from each level of Fatigue in half the normal time (one level for every two hours of light activity or one hour of complete rest).
Wall Leaping
Requirements: DEX 15 or higher, Acrobatics 90% or higher.
Hero Points: 10
You may only use Wall Leaping if not Overloaded, Exhausted or Debilitated.
The entirety of your movement in a Combat Action may be made along a vertical surface, allowing you to bypass an obstruction that might otherwise block your path or even climb a wall at lightning speed.
This can result in you running up a wall with one Combat Action, attacking an enemy with a second Combat Action, and then returning to the floor with a third Combat Action.
However, you cannot continue moving along a vertical surface from Combat Round to Combat Round – you must reach level ground (or a suitable perch) by the end of your last Combat Action in a round or fall.
