Talent Synergies

Along the same lines as my Combo Spells post, what kind of enhanced effects from combined talents have others created in their games?

For example, what if a character w/ both UC V and Physicker could use their 'nerve blow' ability to temporarily paralyze their opponent?

This sounds like a neat idea, did you ever do anything with it?

I've been focused on some other gameplay elements for my campaign, but TBH, my intent is really to let my players come up with these during their adventures. It's an aspect of creative problem solving that I like to encourage... if they can make a convincing case for a particular combination, I will usually allow it (and reward it).

Please keep a record and share! :D

One of my players came up with a good one... Streetwise + Mathematician = advantage at gambling. The character will be better at predicting the odds and perhaps 'counting cards' in order to sway the odds in his favor (for example, since most games of chance favor the 'house', I typically resolve them using a 4 or 5 die roll against IQ or maybe DX, but I would reduce by 1 die if the player uses this combo).

Other talents that would provide an advantage in gambling would be Business Sense and Detect Lies.
