This is an index of special abilities in the game, and their explanations. Abilities whose descriptions become too long, will be linked off into their own pages.

Defensive

Bulletproof Nudity
A person with this ability can become so intensely attractive when in little or no clothes on that they are a distraction to detrimental levels. This isn't simply being cute, sexy, or hot but goes beyond those things. Somehow their body in its natural state is able to distract the mind to such an intense degree that foes have trouble hitting the person with their attacks. This ability is most often something that is entirely passive and would have negative social impacts as well.

Emotional

Gift of Pan
The ability to use song, music, and dance to stir emotions in mortals, fae, and others. Those who fall victim to this ability become lost in the emotions and will thus be carried away by them shedding away inhibitions and embracing hidden desires while enthralled.

Generic

Improved Ability
A person has an increasted aptitude and abiltiy in some area (i.e. strength, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, memory, luck, any of the basic stats for a standard RPG). The increase can vary along with the reason for it. Being in top physical condition or being just born better than those around with one of these fundamental stats. The reasons for and degree of increase go hand in hand, being just in top physical condition doesn't give one ten times the strength of everyone else. Some care should be taken in how one explains and describes such things.
Improved Perception
A person has an increased ability to perceive in some way (such as eyesight or hearing). Much like with an improved ability, care should be taken to explain and describe the increase in perception.

Mental

Eidetic Memory
The possession of a so-called "photographic memory", the ability to actually think back and recall a memory with incredible detail, as if it has just happened. People with this ability remember literally everything, but it isn't always all accessible. Running back through the mind takes effort and can be mentally taxing the more obscure the memories are from the present situation.
Perfect Recall
The ability to instantly recall an event in perfect clarity. This is different from an eidetic memory in that it is effortless, a person can literally go back in their mind and just instantly recall anything they've ever experienced.

Supernatural / Paranormal

Many people make these abilities and leaving about them their lives work once discovering they have the gift. Doing such takes considerable practice and training.
