Past Lives
I'm building a template for a race that is reincarnated on death and has been for 500 years.
Somewhere in gurps I thought I saw and advantage to represent abilities or knowledge from past incarnations but I can't remember where. Obviously there is Wild Talent, which I will probably give them but can anyone remember the other?

Re: Past Lives
Also heavily limited Psychometry can represent aspects of it, like Deja Vu.

Re: Past Lives
Alternate Form would be an advantageous form of manifesting a complete past life while Split Personality would be a disadvantageous form of manifesting a complete past life. Any mental advantage, including talents, could represent a faculty derived from capabilities possessed in a previous life. In addition, Thaumotology possesses the Reincarnate Talent (p. 207).

Re: Past Lives
There's a fair bit of redundancy in these suggestions but I think I like Wild Talent + Racial Memory (especially this one since everyone of this race is at least 500 years old). Psychometry seems a bit weak since most of the interesting stuff is going to be quite old.
