Hard to Bill - You get +1 per level to avoid paying for services.
Vapid Healing- You are immune to Tedium
Coracle - You always have access to a small, unsteady boat.
Refutation- +1 per level to influence skills to deny what people have heard about you.
Signature Gwar-You have a distinct, over-the-top outfit, unrelated to your wealth level.
Lightening Calculator - You know instinctively what you have to discard to hit the next lower encumberance class.

And, with apologies:

Mana Dumper - You poop powerstones.

Ranger Sense; You instinctively knew to stay from the Lone Ranger movie - saving yourself a couple of dollars and a sore butt.

I seem to recall a similar one before, but this is the kind of thing that is always fun to read!

Divine Flavor: You taste delicious. Predators and cannibals (or herbivores if you are a plant) react accordingly.
