This causes problems if you learn the Block talent and then don't have a shield equipped. It tries to call your block value when you hover over talent icons, but then throws up a lua error since you don't have one. Normally you unlearn Block when you take off your shield(s), so it's not a problem, but taking a point in block with this makes you learn it permanently, causing issues. Consider disallowing certain talents like block, attack, or shoot from coming up in the dialog.

At effective talent level 6.5 (5 points invested + Adept) the cost of learning a talent drops to 0% of current exp; this may be a balance issue.

Thanks for the update, I'm running amok with an Outlander now. Never had to worry about it before, but is there a limit on the number of talents a character can have, before ToME decides to halt and catch fire? An observation - the description says talents from rare monsters may be come available, but I'm getting them from very ordinary varmints like ants, snakes, etc, as well. Intended? Finally, what does the character rank DO? Is it just an otherwise insignificant placeholder count to require five points for the prodigy?

Is there no way to remove, reject, or limit talents? My first go at this, I absorbed something antimagic, which destroyed the character for the purpose I intended. I get that this is intended to be chaotic, but unless you only want to make antimagic characters it will get frustrating to have your time wasted by a random accident.

Perhaps a mechanism like Wheel of Fate, where you can do something about an unfortunate turn of events after a while?
