Talents & Proficiencies
Many talents are identical to class special abilities. A character essentially receives these talents for ‘free’ when they gain them as a class ability, without having to meet the prerequisites.
Also note that if you gain a talent that you already possess as a class special ability, you can select another class talent or general talent to take its place (you must possess all prerequisites).
In rare cases, you may be presented with the situation that you must pick a talent from among a list that you do not meet the prerequisites for. In this case, select one of the talents listed, but you do not receive the benefits of that talent until you meet all the prerequisites.
Although this page is organized by category, you are eligible for any talent or proficiency as long as you meet the prerequisites.
