Re: (TFT) using exp to improve talents.

Bingo!  That's exactly the same problem I have with GURPS -- it took a
 basic system, pretty much a modified TFT and proceeded to layer so much ju

KISS still applies to this....

If we keep going this way we're going to reinvent GURPS.

But hopefully less complicated this time around. I'd like to try out the 
system, but my eyes tend to glaze over about the time I get to the 
section on calculating a character's Basic Lift.
