3Qs: Advancement and Prereqs

[gt8595b]

Hey guys,
I couldn't find the answers to these questions on the boards (at least the first two Qs)

1. Do the talent points you earn for using talents only apply to those talents that you used to get the points. The core rules use the example of climbing a cliff and then a tower as heavy use of a talent that earns 5 points. Do those points only go to bettering climbing?

2. When upgrading a talent, does it take just one point or a number of points equal to the next level? Example: To go from 5 to 6, does it take 1 point or 6 points?

3. For magic talents, how does the prerequisites work? Is just one point in the prerequisite all that's needed, or does the level in the prerequisite somehow limit the level of the magic talent?

Thanks,
Frake

Hi Frake

Taking your questions in order:

1. No. You get more talent points for using a talent more often, but you don't have to spend the points on the talent you used to get them.

2. It takes 1 point to increase a talent by 1, no matter what its current rating is.

3. Yes, 1 point in the prerequisite talent is enough.

Now, if you wanted to slow down advancement, or tie magic more closely to its mundane prerequisites, there's no reason you couldn't do it the other way if you liked.
