 These abilities are open only to persons with knowledge points in Heroism.  Such persons perceive reality differently from others.  For example, the object of taking an action — say, killing a monster — is less important than '''how it is done''', or how the deed is perceived.  How brave was the combatant?  How remarkable was the deed itself?  Glory comes from unequaled victory, but also victory achieved with risk that is taken on behalf of others.  Thus sacrifice, suffering and regard for others — which must take place in front of witnesses, that stories might be told — are also part of heroism's tradition.
