3.2.14 How do Talents interact with Defaults?
The golden rule is that Talent always adds after all defaults are worked out and any points are spent, and only affects skills listed as receiving its bonus, regardless of their default connections to other skills.
Do I add my Talent level when I use a covered skill by default?
Yes.
When a skill defaults to another skill covered by the PC's talent, does the talent counts when computing the default level of the first skill?
Only if the Talent lists both skills as receiving its bonus. If the skill being used at default does not normally benefit from the Talent, the Talent has no effect.
Now, if I want to buy up a skill defaulting from another skill, and both are part of the same Talent, how does that work?
In this particular case, when spending points to improve a skill from default, subtract Talent off before doing the math, spend the points, and then add Talent back at the very end.
An example:
Say I have Perception 15, and a Talent +4 that covers Body Language and Detect Lies. I put 4 points in Body Language, for a total skill of 20, and now I want to raise my Detect Lies.
My 4 points in Body Language (Per/A) gives me Per+1.
Since Detect Lies (Per/H) defaults to Body Language-4, my default level is (Per+1)-4, or Per-3. That's below the level where I save any points on Detect Lies (it would have to be at least Per-2 to save me any points at all).
If I had spent 12 points, though, it would work like this:
My 12 points in Body Language (Per/A) gives me Per+3.
Since Detect Lies (Per/H) defaults to Body Language-4, my default level is (Per+3)-4, or Per-1. That's the same as if I had spent 2 points on it.
I can spend 2 points to raise Detect Lies to Per level.
Finally, I can add my Talent to both, raising Body Language to Per+7 and Detect Lies to Per+4.
3.2.14 天赋如何与缺省值交互？
黄金律是，天赋在计算完缺省值以及技能加点之后，再生效，并且只有天赋中列出的技能才会获得加值，不管技能之间有什么样的缺省关联。
我在使用天赋列出的技能的缺省时，能加天赋等级吗？
能
如果一项技能可以从PC天赋涵盖的另一个技能获得缺省，那么第一个技能计算缺省时可以从天赋获得加值吗？
只有两个技能都属于天赋列出的技能时才会获得加值。如果以缺省值使用的技能通常不会从天赋获得加值，天赋依然没有效果。
现在，我想从另一个技能的缺省作为起点购买一项技能，而且两个技能都是属于这个天赋，要怎么做呢？
在这种情况下，从缺省提高技能时，先减去天赋再计算，加上点数，最后再重新加上天赋。
例：
假如我有感知15，涵盖身体语言与察觉谎言的一项天赋+4。我首先在身体语言上投入了4点，学到了总计20级的技能，然后我想要提升我的察觉谎言。
我在身体语言（感知/一般）上的4点给的等级是感知+1
因为察觉谎言（感知/困难）的缺省值是身体语言-4，所以我的缺省等级是（感知+1）-4，也就是感知-3。这低于我投入点数时的察觉谎言等级（如果我投入了任何点数，察觉谎言的等级至少是感知-2）
如果我花了12点，那么要这么算
我在身体语言（感知/一般）上的12点给的等级是感知+3
因为察觉谎言（感知/困难）的缺省值是身体语言-4，所以我的缺省等级是（感知+3）-4，也就是感知-1。这等于我投入2点时的察觉谎言等级。
如果我再投入2点，可以将察觉谎言提升到=感知等级
最后，我把天赋加到两个技能上，得到身体语言=感知+7，察觉谎言=感知+4
