Right. I always felt characters and NPC's were greatly
short-changed in how few talents they could know.

What?!!
What the hell is so complicated about your superscript
or "memory" rules? I though it was a beautifull/simple
fix for the lack of talents.
All I added to it for my own starting characters was that
I limited superscripts to 1/2 of the character's actual IQ.
(so... character of IQ-14 is limited to +7 IQ superscripts
or "memory")
