This is an interesting topic. I agree that these are rare abilities however some are more rare than others... for example there isnt an example of a viewer apart from Min in recorded history... as far as the known world is concerned that ability is entirely unique, however the ability to see ta'veren is one that's not mentioned that is rare but not unheard of.

What I decided to do in my campaign for these feats as well as for ta'veren is decide on a dice role. My campaign is taking place while the Dragon is alive and well (that being Rand) and i'm guessing most campaigns are as well. One thing to keep in mind is that as this particular age is ending the boundaries are crumbling as our favorite blue aes sedai was known to say... so these rare abilities would most likely become more and more common, still rare but not so rare as before..

so here's what i decided... for my players, for latents roll percentile and 76 to 100 means they get a latent (i didnt tell them what they were rolling for however, i agree with introducing the latent ability during the campaign) and for ta'veren roll percentile again however only 96 to 100 equals ta'veren (again not telling them but taking care of adjustments to rolls behind the GM screen and allowing it to come up in-game) now funnily enough i've usually ended up with about a 25% rate on latents however every campaign i've run Someone has rolled for ta'veren... go figure huh? well it makes for fun...not to mention the occasional 'bubble of evil' biggrin.gif

I agree that it makes much more sense to have characters with latent talents when you are actually playing a campaign in the years leading up to the last battle. And honestly, the reason that the pattern is unraveling and these talents are coming back to life? The three ta'averen who were all born within a couple of weeks of each other, I think. That would make sense, that the whole world has been a whirlpool of change for something like eighteen years even before the boys ever left Emond's Field with the boys at its center point.
