Griff has approved a few homebrew Knacks that I created. He also gave me permission to post these here for the rest of you (as Jahiera, at least, has already learned one of these).
Note these are untested. They do not seem unbalancing to me or Griff at this time, but if Griff later determines that something is too strong, then be advised that the Knack may be nerfed or eliminated in order to keep the game fun.

Intelligence Knacks
Summa Cum Laude
Requires: Star Pupil (and hence Fast Learner)
Cost: 0
Gives a bonus to learning to the nine abilities not covered in the prerequisite knacks PLUS makes all abilities as easy to learn as favored abilities.
Specifically, Animal Ken, Art, Awareness, Command, Empathy, Fortitude, Integrity, Presence, and Stealth are now all purchased at half cost like the rest of the abilities (after learning Fast Learner and Star Pupil). There is also a further one point reduction on the costs for learning non favored abilities, exactly the same as for those abilities that already have a one point reduction due to being favored abilities.
Effectively the cost for learning new dots in all abilities becomes one experience point for the 1st dot, one experience point for the 2nd dot, one experience point for the 3rd dot, two experience points for the 4th dot, and three experience points for the 5th dot. Note that studying under a Teaching Prodigy is cumulative with this Knack as it is with the prerequisite learning Knacks.

Perception Knacks
Microscopic Senses
Requires: Telescopic Senses
Cost: 0
Gives vision the ability to zoom into small objects like the most powerful optical microscope (or electron microscope if the Scion also has Broad-Spectrum Reception), hearing able to pick out the quietest sounds even when drowned out by louder sounds, etc.

Appearance Knacks
Tone It Down
Requires: My Eyes Are Up Here
While the prerequisite Knack disallows the use of any other Appearance Knacks while in effect, this Knack does not. The Scion is still just as recognizable as always, it's just that their (Epic) Appearance won't disturb mortals any more than the looks of some hot super model (or revoltingly ugly mortal). Cost in Legend points is equal to dots of Epic Appearance, but the Knack lasts for one scene or 24 hours - whichever is longer.
