Default Gatekeeper talent prereqs

A minimum attribute value is one style of gate keeping.

A talent prerequisite is another.

These don't seem to help much with "keeping mastery talents away from noob characters" and several people have called for that capability.

One way to do it would be to require a certain attribute total, which I do in the Theurgy talents.

Two talents, Strategist and Captain, require standard prerequisites plus two years experience. I can see using attribute total as one way to measure total experience.

I think of the number of attribute points after 32 as "character rank" which goes from 0 to 8.

People might cringe at that but neo-TFT kind of does have something like character level 1 to 9 now...

Hi Zot, everyone.
If the talent wants to measure general capacity, say that your Middle Attribute needs to be at this level. (Nod to Zot.) This works OK, if it is rare, I wouldn't want to do it for many talents.

Warm regards, Rick.

Cool idea! I hadn't thought of, er, giving talents the middle attribute. :)
