I added entries for the Elemental talents. They're pretty standard, not a whole lot complex or interesting, but it's similar to how the existing -mancy talents are, with some added bits and more elements to choose.
Yes, the game will show you how much SP you get per Rank in the box in the bottom right when you mouse over them. It's different for each talent, but they're usually designed so that if you put 10 points in, you can fill everything out. Note that not every talent will be this way, but most of them are. Some may have excess subpoints at rank 10 as well, but since every talent can have up to 5 subpaths, the possibility of adding more subpaths is always there.

Quote:The number of subpoints you can distribute is equal to the rank of the main talent * the number of SP it gives per Rank, rounded down. So, at Rank 2, my Blade Expertise gives me 3 SP to distribute. Again, this is unique to each talent; some give more, some give less. Also, the maximum rank of a main talent is now 10, instead of 3 or 5. Increasing the rank of a main talent still takes 1 Talent Point, and you still get 1 Talent Point per level.
Will the game itself tell us how much SP a talent gives per rank before we allocate the talent points, or would we need to double check on the forums? I ask because it could be a big deal to sink 10 talent points into something only to realize "Oops, this idea didn't work, not enough subpoints." Or would 10 Main Ranks basically always be enough to max everything out, if you really wanted to specialize and go balls to the wall in your chosen talents?
EDIT: I just noticed Marksmanship is 1 SP/Rank, not 1.5, so that answers my question about the Rank 10 thing. Answer: "No."
That said, I am hype. The hype is real. This is great, and thank you, Dev.
