Your character can move across vertical surfaces (like a wall) as easily as horizontal surfaces. In addition, when your character attempts to reduce the damage taken from falling, reduce the difficulty of the Athletics or Coordination check by one.

When your character is incapacitated due to having exceeded their strain threshold while in their normal form, they undergo the following change as an out-of-turn incidental: they heal all strain, increase their Brawn and Agility by one to a maximum of 5 and reduce their Intellect and Willpower by one to a mini- mum of 1. They deal +1 damage when making unarmed attacks and their unarmed attacks have a Critical rating of 3, but they cannot use magic skills or make ranged attacks. Your GM should ensure that NPCs react appropriately to this (at the very least, upgrading the difficulty of social skill checks twice). Your character reverts to their normal form after eight hours or if they become incapacitated (for instance, by exceeding their wound or strain threshold).

Once per session, your character may make a Hard ( ) Discipline check as an out-of-turn incidental either to trigger Shapeshifter or to avoid triggering it when they exceed their strain threshold.

While your character is armed with a bow (or similar weapon, at your GM’s discretion) they may suffer 2 strain to use this talent. During the next ranged combat check your character makes this turn, the bow gains the Linked quality with a value equal to their ranks in the Ranged skill.

The character can soundlessly communicate messages to allies within Short range. Allies cannot reply in turn (unless they also possess this talent). The complexity and length of a message may be limited by the GM during structured gameplay, as it is with spoken communication, or based on the current situation or environmental conditions. Increase the range of this talent by one range band for each additional rank of Silent Communication. This is accomplished through hand and body gestures the character has established as a way for his or her allies to understand basic messages. This is often used by Watchmen to communicate along walls or between towers where it may be difficult to hear or where the conversation must be secretive.

Allies within short range of your character add to their Perception and Vigilance checks. Allies engaged with your character add instead.

When making a Ranged combat check targeting a character engaged with one of your character's allies, downgrade the dif- ficulty of the check once (thus negating the penalty for shoot- ing at engaged targets).

Each rank of Defensive increases your character’s melee defense and ranged defense by one.

Once per round, your character may use this talent to perform a ranged combat check against one non-vehi- cle target within range of the weapon used. If the check is successful, halve the damage inflicted by the attack (before reducing damage by the target’s soak). The tar- get is immobilized until the end of its next turn.

Once per turn, your character may use this talent to have a number of allies engaged with your character equal to your ranks in Leadership add to all combat checks they make until the end of your character’s next turn. The range of this talent increases by one band per rank of Coordinated Assault beyond the first.

Your character may use this talent to make an Aver- age ( ) Leadership check. If successful, a number of allies equal to your character’s Presence may imme- diately suffer 1 strain to perform one maneuver (out of turn). If there are any questions as to which allies take their maneuvers first, your character is the final arbiter.

Your character must have purchased the Field Commander talent to benefit from this talent. When your character uses the Field Commander talent, your character affects a number of allies equal to twice the character’s Presence. In addition, you may spend to allow one ally to suffer 1 strain to perform an action, instead of a maneuver.

Each rank of Dedication increases one of your charac- ter’s characteristics by one. This talent cannot increase a characteristic above 5. You cannot increase the same characteristic with Dedication twice.
