[15:55:23] <Giantree> Well, anyway, whatever would bring that TOTAL number to 15 would cost 2 points, no matter what.  If you have 13 mental and you're buying... say, complaining, I don't see why that wouldn't be mental, it would cost 1 point to level it to 1 which would make the total be 14.
[15:55:58] <Giantree> If you want to make it level 2, which would bring the total to 15, it would cost 2 points instead.  Same for 16.  17 and 18 - 4 and 5 - would be 3 each.  And it'd max at 5.
 
Untrained skills take a -1 penalty
 
Level cost, starting from 1 is 5, 10, 10, 15, 15, and each previous level must be bought before the next can.
Thus, the cost is as such
Level: Cost
0: 0
1: 5
2: 15
3: 25
4: 40
5: 55
