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
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.

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.
