  • *Trial by Error - In a pickle? Throw a goblin at it! No matter what the situation—as long as the goblin is not in the middle of combat—the first time they try something they'll come out of it unharmed. The next time they definitely won't die. 

 

High Elf

 

  • Mind Over Matter - Character uses their breadth of knowledge and experience to practice a certain task or feat (for which no buyable skill/ability is required) in their mind. After mentally performing the feat for 1-3 watches, depending on its difficulty, the player can then accomplish the task or feat without a roll (OPIGD).

  • Mind Palace - The player may attempt to recall a specific piece of academic (scientific, historical, geographical, etc.) information by focusing their minds for at least 15 seconds.

  • Arcane Attunement - Allows the player to sense when magic has been used recently in the immediate area, and with enough time, what type of magic it was. 
  • *Decency -The player’s beauty and stately flourish will make most people somewhat more amenable to their suggestions. The player must be careful though, any break in their practiced poise and grace will nullify their diplomatic advantage. Additionally, High Elf Decency will be of limited use if the target is not dazzled by High Elf pomp. This facade is best used in elegant long-cons but can improve any persuasive action, especially when used in conjunction with other negotiation techniques such as (sometimes overly) subtle flattery; a hallmark of High Elf diplomacy. Conversely, it can do nothing to enhance aggressive coercion (OPIGD).

  • Honor Duel - Allows a player to call an honor duel and force a one-on-one fight with a combative opponent. No combat halting effects can occur during the duel (OPQ).
