Hi guys.

I seem to remember reading (somewhere) about being able to invest xp in skills/talents/powers that you didn't currently possess (for instance investing 5 xp into a power that costs 10) and then being able to use that power every once in a while (with the use of a destiny points I think?).

But I can't for the life of me find it again :/ my players and fellow GMs claim to never have heard about this rule.

Am I going crazy or can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks guys

Yep, what SEA said. Though you still might be going crazy, they aren't mutually exclusive.

Yeah, this would be in Keeping the Peace, although there are a number of different options listed for what sort of penalty you'll face when using a power/talent/skill that you're not fully trained in.

Also note that you can only have one "Learning As You Go" effect in place at any time. So if you've opted to use "Learning As You Go" for a rank in Discipline, then you can't use LAYG to get a discount on a new Force power.

This doesn't apply to Force Powers or Skills but Forged In Battle has a rule set about being able to buy "floating" Talents based on critical hits/wounds you've taken.

Thanks a bunch, guys!

Keeping the Peace, and Forged in Battle, I shall read!

YAY XP debt!! The best way to win at Exalted.
