Most techniques are assigned (i.e.: "chained") to a specific Forte. Those which are not so assigned (i.e.: "unchained") are more expensive to acquire, but can pay for themselves by being far more useful.

Techniques fall into these four categories:


 * Favoured Item: Does your character favor a specific Tool, Weapon, or other Item?


 * Idiom: This is the "style" or "flavor" of action preferred by your character.


 * Maneuver: Does your character favor a specific type of action?


 * Situation: This could be a specific Location or a specific type of Foe or Adversary.

Character Advancement
Once your character has earned some Training Points, you can acquire new Techniques, or even upgrade existing Techniques.


 * Acquiring a new Chained Technique will cost two (2) Training Points.


 * Converting an existing Chained Technique into an Unchained Technique will cost four (4) Training Points (and a Story Hook).


 * Acquiring a new Unchained Technique will cost six (6) Training Points (and a Story Hook).

As always, you will need to confirm with your Game Master and get his approval for any such changes to your character.
