A talent is an ability that is bigger than a Focus but smaller than a Stat, meaning it could apply to more than one profession, but not everybody possesses it. You can develop a talent in creative arts, athletics, combat, science, languages, what-have you. It can also be negative (called a handicap).
Talents are also used to describe partial elements of a Stat. Balance could be developed separately from Dexterity as a Talent; Vision could be developed separately from Perception; Live Performance could be developed separately from Charisma, and so forth.
There is no set list of Talents.
When performing any task directly related to the talent, that character adds the value of the Talent to the Task Roll.
Talents are not automatically granted in character development. You must specifically develop them.
Talents can be developed with Plot Points at a x3 multiplier.
