Second part of the Lifepath gizmo question -

For example, there are a small number of skills (and they are defined as unique) in the system so they are all bootstrapped to the hero from the beginning.

If I want to make a selection of a skill in the lifepath module and the table has an autotag entry so that the selected skill gets a particular tag (SkillRankIncrease), it appears that the skill is copied to the gizmo and that copy is tagged instead of the skill already existing on the hero.

Making the skill Shadow to the hero results in a new copy of the Skill, one with the SkillRankIncrease tag, and one without. Is this what you were referring to about having to pick a Master and hide any other copies?
