Eidetic Memory (Minor Favorable Trait)

A character with this trait has a phenomenal memory for details of things they have seen, heard, smelled, tasted and touched. They can store vast amounts of information in their brain for long periods of time (even doing such memory stunts as remembering a codebook, phonebook, or an entire encyclopedia that they have read).

This does not mean that they can instantly retrieve the information, it may take them a minute or so to remember all the details of something they have observed or experienced. It does not grant them necessarily the ability to reproduce what they know (this doesn't let them paint an exact duplicate of a painting, for instance, from memory, since it does not grant them any skill or talent to do such).

It does give them a +4 Bonus to use the skills of Accounting , Acting , Cryptography , History , Teaching , and Writing since significant memorization and recall are important to them all.

It also gives some benefits when the character has Speed Reading.

This cannot be taken at the same time as the traits Forgetful or Oblivious.
