You gain a +1 to Gather Information checks as everybody knows who you are, and are keeping track of your exploits.

You are such an adopted child, you receive a +1 trait bonus to will saves from the certainty of your self worth. You also detect as a true born child of your adoptive parent(s) regardless of race or nationality, and qualify in a single instance as a member of that race or nationality.

You may substitute one aspect of an ability score for which you possess a negative modifier (i.e. a score of 9 or below) and instead substitute a +1 modifier to one aspect which that stat governs. This may be to attack rolls, damage rolls, a saving throw, or two skills. If the character chooses hit points or armor class, they instead lessen the penalty by one.
