Leveling up skills

And then there's this little conundrum that came new with Legacy's RAW: you can't aim to acquire a new talent (which would cost XP) if it's above your current IQ, without increasing IQ (which would also cost XP). So you end up with the two things necessary to reach your goal are now competing with each other. You'd get more bang for your buck increasing ST or DX instead, so why bother trying to broaden your character anyway?!

That alone is the reason to keep awarding (at least one) memory point with every IQ increase, as it was in Classic.

It's like the Legacy rules for adding talents have a multiple personality disorder. Something changed to make it easier to buy new talents, and something else changed to make it harder.
