I've had one, but (Attention Rob, shut yer ears!) it was from a game in which the adventurer started with a fair bit of previous experience under their belt, coupled with some rather drastic downtime keyword awards.

To add insult to injury, when the adventurer finally got it, there was a distinct sense of underwhelment. I think the comment was "Is that it? One poxy ability with a score of 12 that's about as effective as a feat? Big Fat Hairy Deal."

Cheers,

Ash
