Smart: [minor] by Iczer

‘Hmmmm...Notice if you will, that my target always squints and shifts his feet before a haymaker. We can use this to our advantage’

The character is bright, and more importantly gets a lot more information from what he perceives. The character enjoys a +2 to ME and a +4 to IQ.
In addition, the character gains a +1 to initiative every round he fights the same opponent (or group of more or less identical opponents) after three rounds against the same opponent, he negates the targets combat bonuses derived from HTH skills, WP’s and physical skills (but can’t negate the bonuses from attributes, and powers).
After 5 minutes of interaction with a subject outside of combat, the character is able to discern the following;

The target’s alignment
The Target’s Occupation
The target’s mental attributes
The Target’s OCC: 56% +4% per level
If the target is lying: 40% +4% per level
If the character is not using his natural born shape

In addition, the character enjoys a +5% to all skills that are sedentary in nature, and needs only study half the time required to acquire a new skill.
