I've added a lot of new talents, and I think Steve should as well. Someone pointed out that most jobs in TFT had two levels of talents. Thief and Master Thief. Sword and Fencing. Bow and Missile Weapons, etc. But I like to have more skills to distinguish beginners from true masters.
Anyway, I've played a long time with talents being cheaper and it has not harmed play. I'm used to people having twice as many talents as the base game.
Looking at two of my examples, Knife going from 1 memory to 1/2 a memory is a 50% drop in price but Master Thief (3), INCLUDING Thief (2), reduces 4 memory to 3, or 75% of the current cost. I certainly don't think any harm would be done to TFT if the talents cost 3/4 to 1/2 of their current price. In fact it would be a great good: heroes would be less overshadowed by wizards and Conan could have a decent number of talents at reasonable IQ for him.
Of course, the cost is that you would have to learn new memory prices.
8-O
Warm regards, Rick.

Hi Rick and all,
Everyone is always bringing up Conan, if you read the books he get pretty smart. Sure as a youth he is strong and not particularly educated, but in the later books he is in his 30's with a ton of experience. So it wouldn't outside the realm that he could have a 15 or better IQ score.
Also he is in armor plenty of the time in the books (Maille or leather jerkin, but a least once in full plate) plus he probably is strong enough to wear it without much penalty.
If your running that type of a campaign then a little fudging is probably required, but my 12 year old and 8 year old twins are learning how to make new characters on a regular basis. They learned last week not to shoot arrows into the HTH pile with the Gargoyle and 2 PC in it. ;-O.
