Re: New Talents?
I have some problems with making new talents because them players are coming with suggetions of new talents and the skills they put in the new talents are the ones they have. The fact that guns is only one skill englobing all the guns make this the favored skill to add to a new talents. Also the bonus of +4 seems to me a bit too much, i think it should be +2. Also limit the number of subskills you get the talent bonus.
Maybe I think this only because the game hasn't yet started. |

On the other hand, this thread is not the place to discuss the merits of the Talent advantage. Other "new talent" threads have already been derailed by this very issue, and we don't need that happening here.

Re: New Talents?
No existing Talent has a combat skill - so I would stick to that and not allow any directly combat focused skill to be in a Talent.
I've considered a Talent that is a subset of Smooth Operator. At present only "Allure" seems to fit the bill. Here's one for the list: Geek: Literature, Games, Mathematics, Speed-Reading, Computer-Operation and reaction bonus with other 'Geeks'. 5pts/level Last edited by arcady; 01-11-2005 at 03:30 AM. |

Conditional Talents
I think Talents should also affect some of its listed skills under certain conditions. This creates more possibilities for bizarre talents. Under a Talent, if a skill is listed with a condition, it counts half for calculating Talent cost and the learning time reduction does not apply.
For example:- Devious Wrecker: Your sly and underhanded perspective of machines is too bizarre for other engineers to second-guess; Armoury (sabotague only), Computer Operations (hacking only), Electronics Repair (sabotague only), Electrician (sabotague only), Electronic Operations (Security), Electronic Operations (Electronic Warfare), Explosives (traps and disarming only), Mechanic (sabotague only) and Traps. Reaction bonus:sabouteurs, burglars and Luddites. 5 points/level
