I Won't Die Here: Spend a Hero Point to ignore all negative effects from Dramatic Wounds for the round—the Villain does not gain Bonus Dice if you have 2 Dramatic Wounds, and you do not become Helpless at 4 Dramatic Wounds.
Indomitable Will: After another character attempts to intimidate, seduce, or otherwise goad you, spend a Hero Point to automatically resist.
Linguist: You speak, read, and write all Théan languages. Even the dead ones.
Secret Society (Die Kreuzritter):  See pg. 261, 7th Sea Second Edition for more info.

Sorcery (Hexenwerk): You have the recipe for one Major Unguent and two Minor Unguents. See pg. 208, 7th Sea Second Edition for more info.

Staredown: Spend a Hero Point to intimidate a character into backing down from a threat, letting you into somewhere he shouldn’t, or otherwise getting out of your way.
Suvivalist: If you are in the wilderness, you can forage or hunt and find enough food for yourself and up to five other people. Under extreme circumstances—lost in the middle of a desert, or abandoned in the Ussuran tundra, for example—you find enough food for yourself and up to two other people.

Tarnished Dracheneisen: Dracheneisen cannot be destroyed, but it can become tarnished. No one is entirely sure how this happens – the Eisen say that it can happen when the weapon is shamed by its wielder, but alchemists are skeptical, expecting that the process is more mundane. Whatever the explanation, it can be cleaned, but not easily. The Eisen say that only the blood of monsters can clean Dracheneisen, and that is not terribly far from he truth.

You own a dracheneisen artifact, either a heavy melee weapon, a piece of armor or a panzerhand. Describe it in detail, bearing in mind that it should have a storied history.

• It is indestructible by any normal means
• Spend a Hero point to have your Signature Item appear in the next scene if you lose it or it is stolen
• Spend a Hero point to gain 2 Bonus Dice on a Risk when using your Signature Item.
• Spend a Hero point to attack a foe to deal Wounds equal to the Raises you spend plus your highest Trait when using the Signature Item.
• Spend a Hero point to prevent a number of Wounds equal to the Raises you spend plus your highest Trait

It is possible to “unlock” the other attributes of the item through stories. There are three levels of purification, each of which requires a 2 step story (usually 1. Find a rare monster, 2. Kill the hell out of it). After the first story, It glows when within 30′ of a monster. After the second story, If brandished before a monster, monstrous abilities which cost 1 danger point cost 2. If the item leaves the scene, the benefit is lost. After the third and final story, it gains a benefit based on its form:

• If it is a weapon, it causes one extra wound when striking a character with a Sorcery Advantage or Monster Quality.
• If it is a piece of armor, once per scene you may spend a hero point to avoid the automatic dramatic wound from a firearm
• If it is a Panzerhand, and you are fighting in the Eisenfaust style, it acts as both armor and weapon.

Time Sense: You always know what time it is. You know how long until the next sunrise or sunset, with less than a one minute margin of error.
