Default All talents fit in one slot punishes 1 point talents.

(I could learn Tactics and Strategy now, if only I hadn't learned Knife and Shield in addition to Ax/Mace... what?)


If the proposal is to let EP be spent for talents but only limited to slots equal to IQ, then: ... <Many good examples which hammer home this point elided>

This doesn't seem very fair or logical to me.
Hi Skarg, everyone.
You make a very good point, and I TOTALLY agree. This is not my suggestion, and I think it is sub-optimal. The rule encourages people to buy tough talents and ignore easy ones which is the opposite of what is wanted.

But to be fair, it is better than nothing.

Warm regards, Rick.
