How do you answer the argument that IQ 10; Foo-13 should be more impressive (and thus get a bigger reaction bonus) than IQ 10; Talent 2; Foo-13?
A. It’s about how you do Foo. Someone who does it as second nature, or in an empathetic or inspired way, is going to inspire confidence or admiration in a way that doing it in a clinical way won’t. The entire point of Talent is that those who have it are qualitatively different from those who are quantitatively the same. It isn’t just ‘some bundled stuff for saving points.
