Talents can not be learned or taught; they can only be improved through
experience. This costs as many XP as the level to be attained, and only one
level's improvement may be made at a time.
Skills can be taught, but not learned independently: teacher's score/student's
score = points gained (up to 3). This still costs XP, but at the rate
appropriate for the number of levels gained, rather than the levels gained. I.e.,
a warrior with 12 Attack(longsword) teaches one with 3 Attack(longsword). He
could gain up to 3 points at a cost of 6 XP, but since he has only 4 XP, his new
score is 5 Attack(longsword), which costs him 3 XP. Skills may also be improved
through experience, by the expenditure of XP at the same rate as for Talents.
Knowledges can be learned or taught, as per the rules: teaching
source/current level = points gained (up to 5). This costs no XP. They may also
be improved by experience, with the usual expenditure of XP.

Talents
Psionic Talents
- Focus
- This is one of the primary skills for a psionic. Focus is used to maintain
the internal locus of energy that is required by psionic skills. It is similar
to both meditation and concentration, but involves a much deeper, subconcious
control.

Weapon Skills
- Specialize(specific weapon)
- The person with this skill gains two benefits: first, he can use his weapon
with lessened penalties in any penalty situation (off-handed use, cramped
quarters, darkness, etc.). [subtract this skill from all such penalties.]
Secondly, he can add half this score to both his parry and attack skills with the
weapon of specialization.
- Style School(specific school)
- Style Schools are opened, generally, by older warriors who wish to earn their
living in a less dangerous manner. They do so by teaching, for a fee, whatever
unique techniques they've developed. These are generally very specific, and
often apply best when countering another particular style [nearly any modifier is
possible, though it will generally only apply in one very specific circumstance,
such as when fighting someone using a particular style, or when you have the
higher ground, or in unstable terrain.]
