Skilled Talents
These talents are not about physical might or magical force, but are about cunning, clearness of thought and the wish to experiment even in the midst of combat. These talents have a more cerebral bent than others, but make no mistake - a well thought out strike is devastating.
Intelligence is often the Attribute that governs Skilled talents, as there use requires timing and thought.
