In the game you get XPs, yeah? There are rules for using those XPs to buy up skill levels, yeah? Or, instead you can buy a cool power off the talent tree with them (like 5XP per tier iirc). So for any given packet of XPs you can either increase a skill to get better, or buy a talent to get cooler.

I’m saying why choose. Let the same XPs do both. Increase a skill and get a power with the same packet of XPs.
