Epic Talents
 

Many talents are already formatted with advanced versions such as "Boating-Seaman-Captain" or "Swimming-Diving". What "Epic" talent could be unlocked by a PC who possessed the above 5 talents?

Does "Acute Hearing-Bard-Poet-Writing" allow for "Superstar" talent? If so what would that be?

Re: Epic Talents
 

Superstar surely requires Charisma. And Sex Appeal. And as far as I can tell, at least in these days of autotune, not a damn talent otherwise.

There was once a time when a person who couldn't sing had two options: (1) Don't sing or (2) be Bob Dylan.

Aw c'mon; you're forgetting Nico.

Re: Epic Talents
 

Master Bard is already epic by itself, giving +2 to reactions and allowing one to sing, play all manner of instruments, and compose new material. Combined with Sex Appeal and/or Charisma, Carousing, and possibly Look Your Best, a character could be legendary superstar caliber.

Re: Epic Talents
 

I definitely was not forgetting this person, but I intend to now.

Re: Epic Talents
 

This maybe isn't the best example, as Seamanship doesn't depend on Boating. Captain does depend on Seamanship, and I'm not a big fan of it. I think the Captain talent should be split up by what it does, so that you can have captains who are great navigators but terrible at giving orders, or who can thread the path between rocks but can't keep track of ship's stores to save their life, or whatever.

Something tells me you might be hearing that song again sometime soon, rendered in a bad Russian accent.

Cozmir. The tank that can, at least, attempt to dance, sing, and play an instrument while occasionally cutting foes in half with a 2-handed sword.

Re: Epic Talents
 

swimming+ Diving+ Area Knowledge = gives "Naturalist" for underwater flora and fauna only.

or maybe

Starting as or becoming a Queens guard that grants you (over time) a free talent like Courtly Graces or Expert Horsemanship is a great idea imho. This validates the cultural/political world build and gives PC's more goal choices or background adherence.

Talent synergies is something I actively encourage in my games.
