HI,
Does anybody here have an idea what's the best way to create different templates that would add levels to leveled traits like magery, talents wealth etc.
When I create a template (save as template in file) that has wealth 1 and another one that has wealth 1 then try to load them boath I get complaints and then a duplicate entry of wealth 1 (no surprise there).
What I would like is to create such templates that loading one after the other you'd get wealth +2.
I'd go the idea to create a game that requires players to take two or three templates (frex. race+class like in that other game) some of them might give extra levels to leveled traits.

As an example ..Well as a dwarf you're rich.. as a dwarf merchant you're even richer.
Or as an elf you've got a a talent for magic as an elf born as sorcerer you've got even more oomph in your blood. (Esp. hard with magery I'd like to deduct from the template the magery 0 cost if we have templates of elf magery0,mager1 stacked with sorcerer --the same)
