Notables only instilling grants

How it is counted

An anointed notable needs no path. Points saved = passive points to allocate it from the class start on the shortest path of the tree graph, the notable included (the same rule as keystone distances). Recipes: the game's instilling table; see every recipe in the instilling calculator.

Assumptions

From a bare class start; a build that paths nearby saves less.
Ranks the cost of a path, not the power of the notable.
No emotion prices.
