You’re especially gifted at “getting by” in backwater areas.

Barter

You may reroll any Persuasion check made to haggle (see the Persuasion skill). You must, however, accept the result of the reroll.

Flee

As a standard action, you can designate a single opponent and move up to your speed away from that opponent; this movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity from that opponent, though it might provoke as normal for all other opponents. In addition, your speed increases by 2 until the end of your next turn.

• Prerequisite: Long Stride

Fringe Savant

Whenever you roll a natural 20 on a skill check during an encounter, you gain one temporary Hero Point. If the Hero Point is not used before the end of the encounter, it is lost.

Jury-Rigger

You may reroll any Mechanics check made to accomplish a jury-rigged repair (see the Mechanics skill). You must, however, accept the result of the reroll.

Keep it Together

Whenever you successfully jury-rig a device or vehicle, the vehicle does not move -5 steps along the condition track at the end of the encounter, though it does move -2 persistent steps down the condition track.

  • Sudden Assault: Make a charge attack against an enemy within range as a standard action. You take no penalty to your Reflex Defense for this attack.
  • Weaving Stride: Move up to your speed as a move action. You gain a cumulative +2 dodge bonus to Reflex Defense for each attack of opportunity made against you during this movement. This bonus lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
