Default Re: XP Cost for Talents/Spells

However, this discussion adds a different dimension to that analysis that was not fully considered. That is balancing XP to Attribute cost and XP to Talent/Spell cost at all/most stages of character development.
TBH, restoring the 'classic' progression scheme is a great solution to the LE problem. It is an elegant, well-balanced and time-tested design. If you go that route, however, I would not recommend attempting to accommodate the LE feature of purchasing talents/spells directly with XP. Stick to the original IQ-increase dependency. It's much cleaner.
