The populace of The Red Stars Chronicles largely goes about their lives, dealing with their daily tasks and responsibilities, and most of them never even pick up a gun let alone find themselves in perilous conditions. But even still, everyone has hidden skills and tricks that set them apart from the others. Talents are skills and features that allow a character to take special actions, assist others with guidance, or find new avenues of communication.
All Base Talents are available in the Classless system, so long as you meet the requirements, however some talents require moving into a Prestige Class. Prestige Classes often have several requirements; specific levels, feats, other talents, or even race. Below are a list of available talents.
