Talents

Characters who are talented or untalented in certain Areas will find it easier to learn Knowledge in some Areas than in others. See the Optional Rules. Some Knowledge is associated with more than one Area. In this case, the character can choose to specialize in only one aspect of the Knowledge. A character who is talented in Writing may decide to specialize in the Writing aspect of Journalism, ignoring the Empathic aspect. Characters may even choose to specialize in aspects that aren’t associated with the Knowledge, with approval from the Editor. A character could choose to specialize in the Empathic aspect of Law, rather than the Bureaucratic aspect. This will tend to limit the character’s use of the Knowledge.
