"Skill beats talent when talent doesn't practice."
Listed here are talents and the required xp to acquire them. Some are passive benefits, some are new actions you will be able to use. Since I know who will be reading this I'll directly point out: there are no proficiencies for armor or weapons with a point and click interface so don't worry about those.
