# * Maximum Skill Limits
#=============================================================================
# Trickster
# Version 1.1
# 10.3.05
#=============================================================================
# Introduction
# - This script allows you to limit the number of skills each actor may have
# rather than allowing them to have an enormous number of skills available
# to them. Each time a skill is acquired, they must choose one to remove.
# Setting up the system
# - There are three configurables:
# 1) SKILL_SIZE This sets how many skills they can have at any one time.
# 2) SKILL_UNDELETABLE The element to tag unremovable skills.
# 3) SKILL_DELETE_TEXT Text to let the player know they filled their quota.
# To Use
# - It's automatic. Once you reach the limit, the screen pops up.
#
#=============================================================================
# Configurables
SKILL_SIZE = 4
SKILL_UNDELETABLE = 17
SKILL_DELETE_TEXT = " has too many skills select one to delete"

Note
Be warned because using this in the wrong way could leave the player unable to delete a skill and thus trapped and unable to continue playing (The script doesn't check if all of the skills are undeletable)
Limitations of this script:
If a character gains a level to where two skills are learned and the player already has 4 skills only one will be deleted this will give them 5 skills
Doesn't check to see if all of the skills are undeletable
