She is neither left handed nor right handed.Normal: Without this talent, a character using her off hand suffers a -4 penalty to attack rolls, ability checks and skill checks. For example a right handed character wielding a weapon with her left hand suffers a -4 penalty to attack rolls with that weapon.Special: This talent helps offset the penalty for fighting with two weapons.Disease Resistant [Talent]You have an innate resistance to illness.Benefit: The character gains a +3 saving throw bonus to all saves against diseases, including magical diseases.Dreamspeaking [Talent]Sometimes dreams are important missives sent from above, or from within. You can interpret the dreams that you have, or that others have.Prerequisite: Perception 13Benefit: When someone tells you about a dream, or when you consider your own dream, you can tell automatically if it was a dream of importance, also known as a “sending” dream. If it is a sending dream, you can attempt a Wisdom check (DC 15) to interpret its meaning. If your Wisdom check succeeds, the DM should give you some clue as to the meaning of the dream. For example, a character might dream of a powerful female noble dressed in white, surrounded by doves. On a successful Wisdom check, the player learns that the dream foretells an encounter with a foe named raven. Later the party does indeed meet up with an ally named Miriam Whytedove.Fleet of Foot [Talent]You are extraordinarily quick on your feet.Prerequisite: Natural base land speedBenefit: Your base land speed increases by 20 feet.Hardy [Talent]You are more resilient than others.Prerequisite: Constitution 13Benefit: When calacultaing your bonus hit points as a first level character, you multiply your Constitution modifier by two.

Further, she must make a Concentration check (DC 15) to be able to act the round after that, as she is still groggy. This is true whether the character wakes up on her own or is intentionally roused by another. Shaking someone awake is a full-round action.Loremaster [Talent]You are able to draw upon your excellent memory to recall tidbits of knowledge that you have tucked away.Prerequisite: Intelligence 13Benefit: You are able to use all knowledge skills as if you are trained in them.
