Garrett can simultateously hold a comapass in one hand, a bow in two hands, and pickpocket a guard ten feet away who is stood in bright light, facing him. Now that means he has four hands, on the end of ten foot long invisible arms.

Garrett seems also to have a rare form of epileptic disorder triggered by gazing at large open spaces. When he looks at such spaces, his fits and spasms begin and his movements are stuttered and sluggish. The area between the warehouses in T2:2 is a good example.
BTW, this thread is the most entertaining I've read in a while. Thanks for the smiles, the groans, and the out-right laughter.

Don't forget the ability to float down stairs completely silently while crouching...

He doesn't have long arms at all, because if he has 3 meter arms (about 10 feet) then why can he only throw a flashbomb about 5 meters? His arms seem to me only about 1 foot long by the way he throws...
Or he has psi training for those difficult pickpockets...
I like his frob-o-vision though

Whattabout the inablilty to hold his breath when a burrick spews at him? The inability to aim a throw? Or the ablitiy to bounce off rope arrows when they're too close to a surface? Garrett the RUBBER master thief...
That might also explain why he can reach so far. Garrett the STRETCHY rubber master thief. Heheheheheheh!

Selective arm length.
Sure, Garrett's arms are long enough to open a door from about 10 meters away, but as soon as he picks up useless junk from a tabletop his arms shrink to withered, inch-long stumps and he's completely unable to set the object down without breaking his grip.

Um... hi.. My name is Grazzhnar.. and... I have a problem.

How about Garrett's amazing lack of the ability to turn the pages in books? He can look at one page of the book, but no other.

Garrett's stunning psychic ability to know how many bodies were discovered by enemies at the end of a mission. Or his magical ability to have to use both hands when holding a small wooden goblet, making door opening impossible. Strange how he has no problem opening doors with a heavy sword out or two hands on a bow.

The ability to jump and land in exactly the same spot. Try doing that, it's not that easy even if you're a gymnast or something. Another thing, he can land from a high place without bending his knees. (ouch!) Maybe that's another reason why he takes falling damage so easily...

How about the foes' abilities? The fact that a floating fire-ball has a brain, zombies can drown even though they're already dead.
