The Warrior Fezwit has Rank 2 Gliding Stride. His grappling partner pushes him off the top of a 100-foot tower. He falls all 100 feet to the ground, but takes only 80 feet worth of falling damage. He also modifies the falling damage by 2 Armor Points. (See Falling Damage)

A character may use the Gliding Stride talent to move horizontally without suffering Strain; moving upward, however, does cause Strain. The character attempting to move vertically makes a Gliding Stride Test as above; a successful result gives the total number of feet (in this case both horizontal and vertical) the character may move using Gliding Stride. For each foot the character moves vertically, he must move 2 feet horizontally. Divide the Gliding Stride result by 3 to determine the maximum distance the character can move vertically using Gliding Stride.

If the character returns to the combat after making a Graceful Exit, the characters affected by this talent become enraged. They try to attack the character, and are immune to all tests made against their Social Defense (any attempts to further influence them). Their anger adds +1 step to all their tests.

The character may continue to make additional Haggle Tests for the same deal as long as he continues to roll successes in each subsequent test. As soon as he fails a Haggle Test, he can no longer bargain for this transaction. The maximum number of Haggle Tests a character can make for any transaction is equal to his Haggle Rank.

While in a tavern, Poorht the Thief hypnotizes an off-duty private guard. Poorht improves the guard's attitude and uses a little persuasion. While hypnotized, the guard agrees to let Poorht into the house he guards as long as Poorht brings along some Rivercask ale to share. Poorht agrees. Poorht has Rank 3 Hypnotize, and so the effect lasts for 3 hours. At the end of that time, the guard comes to his senses. While he may not blame Poorht for having tricked him, the guard is no longer bound by his word.

Jerreck, an elven Wizard, is studying the Ring of Gorlianna. He has already learned three Key Knowledges from the ring's history. On his latest attempt to use his Item History talent, Jerreck gets an Excellent result, giving him knowledge of three more Key Knowledges from the ring's past. This means Jerreck would know six Key Knowledges from the history of the Ring of Gorlianna. But because Jerreck has only five ranks in Item History, he can only learn up to five of the Key Knowledges.

The character makes a Lifesight Test and compares the result to the Spell Defense of each character within range. Anytime his dice result is higher than that number, the character can see a target's life force.

A character can use Lifesight to view a target's life force through solid, non-living objects. For example, a character could see the life forces of people hiding behind a brick wall, but not someone hiding in a hollow giant redwood tree. Once seen by Lifesight, the life forces remain visible as long as the targets stay in range.

Enyiat, an Illusionist, sees a spectacular river of fire near Death's Sea and decides to memorize the image. She makes a Memorize Image Test with a result of 12. Enyiat's player compares this result to the Spell Difficulty Table in the Spell Magic section, and sees that Enyiat has memorized the image well enough to use it as the basis for illusions of Circle 4 or less.

When attempting to fool a target by mimicking the voice, the character makes a Mimic Voice Test against the Social Defense of the target. If the test is a success, the target believes he is hearing the person to whom the voice belongs, rather than the character. If the Mimic Voice talent is used against more than 1 target, make the Talent Test against the highest Social Defense among the target group + 1 for each additional character targeted. If the target characters have strong physical evidence that the voice is being mimicked, such as the character standing before them in his normal appearance while using the talent, they may make a Willpower Test against the result of the Mimic Voice Test to disbelieve the effect. If the test is successful, they reject the effect of Mimic Voice.

If the character does not understand the language of the person whose voice he is trying to mimic, Mimic Voice produces the equivalent of baby babble; the sounds are right, but the words don't mean much.

The mark created on the target by Mystic Aim is unique to the character using the talent. The mark may appear as plain white dots or as a symbol from the character's town or village.
