Costs of spells and talents - requirements.

[Rick_Smith]

David suggests we would like to avoid high attribute prerequisites for talents if possible. What else is there? (These ideas are from many people.)

-- Time in game spent doing something. (e.g. 2 game years in the army.)

-- Talent prerequisites.

-- Equipment limitations. (UC v is less attractive if you like to wear half plate.)

-- Attribute total. (You must have 35+ attributes to buy this. Gamey, but simple.)

-- Attributes with boolean gates: ("Running requires ST above average for your race, or a DX 11+.") (Still uses attributes but gives more character variety.)

-- Look at Lowest, Middle or Highest attributes: (Charisma requires the Lowest attribute to be 10+.)

-- Costs Karma. To gain the Luck (0.5) talent, requires the sacrifice of 3 Karma points.

-- Memory cost. This talent fills up your brain bad.

-- Sacrifice of magical in game resource. "To learn Astral Awareness (0) talent, you must sacrifice a Greater Wish and 500 XP."

I'll add more as I think of them or as I see suggestions by others.
