Also, make sure not to make the talent too similar to the hunters path of the forest. That would in effect make that talent obsolete for hunters of that kin.
Ah yes... :(

At Ranks 2 and 3, that would totally negate my idea..

Thanks for the head's up..

Bearfolk? Perhaps something like hibernation? Sleeping at least 2 quarter days up to a week without having to eat or drink for a WP/day. Maybe they can spend an extra WP to not need a fire going during camp in winter conditions? Also, for the hibernation talent to be fun in summer time and south of the Bitter Reaches, a character in hibernation might be able to heal critical injuries, much like the elf kin talent inner peace...? Quite boring to have a similar effect as other kin but it would be fun to have something in line with such a characteristic trait as the hibernation of bears. Maybe I'll have a second thought about this...

I had tried to think of something along those lines, but with Sleep healing lost STR anyway I wasn't sure how much use it would be.. But, if it were to heal Critical injuries faster than usual, then it might be a good thematic ability.

Also, hibernating to negate the need for food & water would be good.

Bears.
When i personally think of bears or bear- human hybrids (Beorn from Lord of the rings?!) i think of thick fur (One point of Armor) or something like an berserker rage.

Yeah. I would have said the same too. I had wanted to give them some hibernation type of effect or resistance to cold/hunger etc, but they are covered by other Talents...

Bear-hug? There's already a Berserk talent too... So maybe some Armour and Slashing unarmed attacks?
