It is, you get +15 points for character creation. Same
with Veteran of Faraway.

3d8 Nimbleness + 1 level, Supernatural Trait
Nimbleness = 3d10 Nimbleness. Mark down how many
levels it is, if you then want to raise nimbleness,
you need 30 bounty points - raise 3d8 --> 3d10, then
the Supernatural trait kicks in. I think.
