Berserker
Berserk
Tier II Action: gain 1 strain to make an average attack roll, adding one boost die and increasing strain by one per engaged target (enemy and allies included) to a maximum of 4.

Recharge (Improved)
Tier V Recharge can now be used as a maneuver instead of an action.
Cleric
Exorcise
Tier II Action: make a divine check against an undead target, with a difficulty based on the target's current wounds. (0 is daunting, less than half threshold is hard, more than half threshold is average, and more than 3/4ths is easy) On a successful check, the target is instantly defeated.
Holy Blessing
Tier IV Maneuver: the character's next divine skill check is improved: offensive magic checks receive 2 boost dice, healing magic doubles the result of the check, all other checks receive 1 boost die.
Rogue
Adaptability
Tier II Passive (ranked): choose one non-magic skill. Add one skill point to that skill so long as it does not bring the skill total higher than ranks in Adaptability plus 2. This skill is now a career skill.
Fast Learner
Tier III Passive (ranked): for every rank in Fast Learner, treat other talents 2 tiers higher as 1 tier lower than listed. Talents still cost the same amount of experience to purchase.
