ALSO THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT ALL VENUES AS IT REALLY ONLY HAD BEEN DONE FOR VAMPIRE AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE LORES LISTED
Talents
Talents describe what you intuitively know, what you can do without coaching or instruction. The only way to improve your Talents is through direct experience - with the exception of a very few cases (such as studying a text on Jeet Kune Do to learn a dot or so of Brawl), these things can't be learned from a book or mail-order course. If you try an action involving a Talent your character doesn't possess, there's no penalty to your basic Attribute dice pool; these Abilities are so intuitive that virtually everyone has some degree of capacity in each one.

Skills
Skills are Abilities learned through training, apprenticeships or other instruction. If you try to perform an action involving a Skill in which you have no rating, your dice pool is decreased by two. An unskilled worker just isn't as effective as someone who might have lower Attributes but an understanding of what the procedure entails.

Knowledge S
Knowledge involves the application of the mind, not the body; consequently, Knowledge Abilities are most often paired with Mental Traits. The following descriptions speak of Knowledge levels in collegiate terms, although formal schooling is just one way to improve a Knowledge.
If you don't have any dots in a Knowledge, you cannot even attempt a roll involving it unless the Storyteller gives explicit permission (such as where common trivia is concerned). If you don't know Spanish, you can't try holding a conversation in espanol on your wits alone.
