This talent can be selected multiple times, each time increasing the bonus by +l. Prerequisite: Empathy. Intuition: The Dedicated hero has an innate ability to sense trouble in the air. The Dedicated hero can make a Will saving throw (DC 15). On a successful save, the hero gets a hunch that everything is all right, or she gets a bad feeling about a specific situation, based on the GM's best guess relating to the circumstances.
