[Torg] Improving Attributes in play: Edges

[Chris]

I used a spreadsheet to make the math automatic, it turns out that even
though I highlighted the right amount of rows in the column, M$ Excel
decided I didn't need the top few rows, and discount the top three skills
altogether (Biotech, Dodge, and MA did not get counted by the SUM fx). I had
paid 2 for the first dodge, and 5 for the first martial art. I did assume
that an instructor was available to teach them. I'm fixing the sheet now.
And I made it not be a table this time, so it should be formatted a little
better, assuming spaces save through my sending this.

Skill                    Initial Adds    Finished Adds

Biotech Weapons        3      ->         6
Dodge                         0      ->        3
Martial Arts                  0     ->         4
Evidence Analysis        1     ->         5
Find                             3    ->         5
Psionic Manipulation     2    ->         6
Mindsense                   1     ->        4
Psi Resistance             2     ->        6
Faith                            1     ->        5
Focus                          1     ->        5
Reality                         4     ->        6
