Here is another formula I've pondered: Total Knowledge ( points in talents and spells ) should not exceed IQ + ( IQ minus 8 )

In this way, the limit of an IQ 8 character is 8 points,
IQ 9 -> 10 points
IQ 10 -> 12 points
...
IQ 14 -> 20 points
IQ 16 -> 24 points

In this way, higher IQ characters have a greater capacity for knowledge, while keeping low IQ characters limited.

Steve Jackson Games my freely use this idea.
