Special Abilities
-----------------

Contact
	You have an important contact who is in an influential position, such as
	a minor noble, the captain of the town guard/police, or the head of a
	large gang of thieves. You and the GM should work out the details
	together.

Difficult rest
	Quintar subtract 2 from all recovery rolls (minimum 1).

Investigator
	To really shine as an investigator, you must engage your mind and body
	in your deductions. You can spend points from your Might Pool, Speed
	Pool, or Intellect Pool to apply levels of Effort to any Intellect-based
	task. Enabler.


Skills
------

Enthrall (Pool:Intellect, Cost:1)
	While talking, you grab and keep another creature's attention, even if
	the creature can't understand you. For as long as you do nothing but
	speak (you can't even move), the other creature takes no actions other
	than to defend itself, even over multiple rounds. If the creature is
	attacked, the effect ends. Action.

Terrifying presence (Pool:Intellect, Cost:2+)
	You convince one intelligent target of level 3 or lower that you are its
	worst nightmare. The target must be within short range and be able to
	understand you. For as long as you do nothing but speak (you can't even
	move), the target is paralyzed with fear, runs away, or takes some other
	action appropriate to the circumstances. In addition to the normal
	options for using Effort, you can choose to use Effort to increase the
	maximum level of the target. Thus, to terrorize a level 5 target (two
	levels above the normal limit), you must apply two levels of Effort.
	Action.

Anecdote (Pool:Intellect, Cost:2, Trained)
	You can lift the spirits of a group of creatures and help them bond
	together by entertaining them with an uplifting or pointed anecdote. For
	the next hour, those who pay attention to your story are trained in a
	task you choose that's related to the anecdote, as long as it's not an
	attack or defense task. Action to initiate, one minute to complete.

Interaction skills (Trained)
	You are trained in two skills in which you are not already trained.
	Choose two of the following: deceiving, persuading, public speaking,
	seeing through deception, or intimidation. You can select this ability
	multiple times. Each time you select it, you must choose two different
	skills. Enabler.

Quintar fascination with human behavior eases all interaction rolls (pleasant or
not) with humans (Trained)

Sleuth (Trained)
	Finding the clues is the first step in solving a mystery. You are
	trained in perception. Enabler.

Background
----------
A Diplomat is also known as a Speaker

Diplomat
You're good with words and good with people. You talk your way past challenges
and out of jams, and you get people to do what you want. Speakers are smart and
charismatic. They like people and, more important, they understand them. This
helps speakers get others to do what needs to be done.

Charming
You're a smooth talker and a charmer. Whether through seemingly supernatural
means or just a way with words, you can convince others to do as you wish. Most
likely, you're physically attractive or at least highly charismatic, and others
enjoy listening to your voice. You probably pay attention to your appearance,
keeping yourself well groomed. You make friends easily. You play up the
personality facet of your Intellect stat; intelligence is not your strong suit.
You're personable, but not necessarily studious or strong-willed.

Quintar
You are a quintar from the planet Quint. You are basically humanoid but taller,
thinner, and blue skinned. Your hands end in three very long fingers. Quintar
have five genders, but all quintar prefer to be addressed as female when
communicating with more binary species. Human emotions and sexuality fascinate
them, but not because they don't have such concepts-quintar emotions and
sexuality are just very different from those of humans. In general, quintar are
more cerebral than other species, valuing knowledge over all else. Quint is
relatively Earthlike, with slightly less gravity but a slightly denser
atmosphere.

Solves Mysteries
You're a master of deduction, using evidence to find the answer.

Choose how you became involved in the adventure:
- You convinced one of the other PCs to tell you what they were doing.
- You instigated the whole thing and convinced the others to join you.
- One of the other PCs did a favor for you, and now you're repaying that
obligation by helping them with the task at hand.
- There is a reward involved, and you need the money.

Background Connection
---------------------
You have traveled extensively, and during that time you accumulated quite a
collection of strange souvenirs.

Focus Connection
----------------
Pick one other PC. They have a knack for being able to recognize where your
plans or schemes have a weak spot.

Notes
-----

Possible player intrusions based on your character type:
Friendly NPC
An NPC you don't know, someone you don't know that well, or someone you know but
who hasn't been particularly friendly in the past chooses to help you, though
doesn't necessarily explain why. Maybe they'll ask you for a favor in return
afterward, depending on how much trouble they go to.

Perfect Suggestion
A follower or other already-friendly NPC suggests a course of action with regard
to an urgent question, problem, or obstacle you're facing.

Unexpected Gift
An NPC hands you a physical gift you were not expecting, one that helps put the
situation at ease if things seem strained, or provides you with a new insight
for understanding the context of the situation if there's something you're
failing to understand or grasp.

Personable
+2 to your Intellect Pool.
Granted from Charming

Cerebral
+4 to your Intellect Pool.
Granted from Quintar

Possible GM intrusion from your focus:
Evidence disappears, red herrings confuse, and witnesses lie. Initial research
can be faulty.
