Any suggestions, then?

Oh, so you're playing GURPS Soap Opera. I was thinking of less cinematic campaigns. ;)

Well, for one, I wouldn't make a talent called Cheating Spouse. Maybe Secret Romance, which would mostly affect people that like con men or interested lovers.

Or those that feel sympathy for star-crossed lovers. There are lots of times I see people make excuses for the cheater and try to put the blame on the one cheated on. Something makes them do that, so why not that reaction bonus?

Accordingly, no Fast-Talk. As I said, this is not a sweet talker who has the knowledge of plying people to his will. Of course an individual can learn Fast-Talk by himself, but it doesn't fit with this particular Talent.

Streetwise and SF(servant) are to impersonate low-level criminals and servants, yes; attitudes that doesn't really need to be taught. I see other types of Savoir-Faire as too elaborate: Savoir-Faire(Priest) probably includes a lot of different protocols for each church, and (Military) is more about navigating the army's internal bureaucracy. I can't see justifying a natural affinity for such skills, at least not for an impersonator.

Maybe Savoir-Faire (or more precisely, Savoir-Faire(Nobility)) could have been part of it, but again, for me this is more something that is learned than something that is instinctively understood by someone who is not part of the nobility. The line is thin, I know, but that's my choice, and it has been approved by the GM :)

Personally, I would not specify any type for the Savoir-Faire element. The same adaptibility applies to all of the variations, so the Talent can too. It doesn't change the cost.

There have been a few takes in the athletic department, but I think this one fills a logical niche that is both suitably and reasonably outlined:

Talent (Natural Mobility): You have a knack for moving around as long as it involves your own two hands and feet. Reaction bonus: Athletes. Talent adds to: Acrobatics, climbing, hiking, jumping, running, swimming. 5 point/level.
