Re: (TFT) Weapon Skill Levels

Well, I'd say that it would only cost one Talent level per + in a normal 'IQ=#
of Talent Slots'.  I'm working on a system where, like in Legends, you buy
Talents outside of buying attributes, which will probably be how I price them.
 I'll post that up soonish.

seems like a fairly good system. How much would each 'plus' cost in Talent
points? 1?
