Ok, mostly the helpfiles will help you somewhat with prereqs


I chose this helpfile to help us

Helpfile View: 2311


'HOLLOW BONES'
Arial transmuters can learn to use their hollow bones to practical effect,
enabling them to successfully mix their flight with calcification magic.

(This does not enable them to mix flight with other incompatible magics.)

See also: EDGES
FLIGHT
CALCIFY

It mentions in this particular helpfile very clearly *Obviously not a Nep helpfile =P* That you have to be a arial, then it mentions Flight and Calicify, so I would assume either your inherient flight/flight spell need to be at 80% or 85% as with Calcify and of course you need to be a arial.

There is sadly, no real way to gauge its expense beyond a few things.
So if your wondering how expensive an edge would be, ask the following questions.
How many people could pick this edge *IE is it for some race specific combo that isn't usually X class?*
How cool does it really sound?
Do you think with every one of your characters would kind of want this edge?

Going on this I'd say the arial transmuter edge in this particular case is likely cheap and requires 80% in inherient flight and the spell calcify.
18769, Hah! Joke's on you, buddy!

I did write that helpfile. :)
18770, Damnz, it seemed to clear!

Your getting even more crafty, clearly it must do something l33t you haven't mentioned!

With my last bard I tried to get the "SOOTHING VOICE" edge but despite having the 3 mentioned songs above 86% and reaching level 40 (level requirements seem to be another prerequisite thats a bit tricky) I could not choose this edge.

The only thing I could image why I couldn't choose the edge, besides maybe an extreme high cost, was that the sentence in the help file: "Bards tainted by darkness lack sufficient compassion to learn this edge" doesn't mean "no evils", but "good only" instead...

Some bard edges are also repertoire specific. Though I don't know offhand if that is one.
18785, Had "comedic" as my repertoire... /nt

What i was referring to is that I couldn't see what rank was required for edges, what skills need perfecting before you can get edges etc.

What do you mean how much they cost?

Im going to look around see if i can decipher it.

Thanks

It's rare you'll need a skill to be perfect for an edge.

Look at the skills referenced in an edge helpfile; probably they need to be at least 80% or maybe as high as 90%, depending on the edge.

Usually you can't get an edge relating to a skill the level you get that skill, but usually more like five levels later.

Some edges have alignment/race/stat/etc. requirements; I've posted on some of this stuff in the past if you feel like searching.
