This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

dunno about TNE, but T4 got rid of the "max skill level total = Int + Edu" which i liked from MT.  it was a good way to keep skills restrained.  if you had maxed that out, characters would end up bumping unused skills down a level to allow a more frequently-used one to advance.  i remember a few characters in our group ended up dropping a fair number of skills all the way back to level 0 in this way--enough to try routine tasks untrained with no penalty.

But T4 skill levels are really only half a CT or MT level. That's how I always think of it anyhow, it increases the importance of the skill relative to the attribute and makes the system a bit less granular.
