Hybrid Talent is a heroic tier feat available to hybrid characters.
When a character gains the Hybrid Talent feat, he or she chooses a Hybrid Talent option from either of his or her hybrid classes, and gains the benefit of that option.
If a hybrid character does not choose a paragon path at 11th level, he or she gains the Hybrid Talent feat for free. If this results in the character gaining Hybrid Talent twice, he or she must choose a different option for the second Hybrid Talent.[PH3:181]
