Disclaimer This optional rule will cause imbalance in your character as the abilities, talents, spells, and monsters are designed with standard attributes in mind rather than rolled attributes. MCs that allow rolled attributes might impose additional restrictions, such as only allowing one +3 bonus.

=== Talent ===
=== Talent ===
Finally, now that you have picked a lineage, assigned your attributes, and chosen a Background (and profession if relevant), it’s time to pick a talent. All talents available in this document are in [<nowiki/>[[Specialization Talents]]] or [ [[Magic Talents]]]. Talents are unique abilities that your character gains. Some of them are passive, such as a permanent bonus to a defense; others are active, such as the ability to charm someone once per day by speaking with them. Note that some talents have prerequisites that you must meet before being able to gain that talent. For example, all class talents have the Prerequisite of Character Level 2.
