While I understand Ed's reasoning behind trying to keep the game as simple as possible - even applaud that, I do think the profile on characters could do with more fleshing out. that said the game is deadly so most characters don't get a chance to level up!!<br /><br />I think that increases should only happen if it is used in the game more than once.Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-54144916600838292922017-08-21T13:14:03.616+01:002017-08-21T13:14:03.616+01:00I'm so pleased to see another convert to the &...I'm so pleased to see another convert to the "'Let's split the Rep characteristic up".<br />When FFO came out (sadly a very flawed set of rules imo) with people and Savvy skills I did think it a step forward, but I also thought that the choice of the two extra skills was pretty poor.<br />I use a leadership skill that replaces the "People" skill fpr all interactions with people, as well as determining the leader of any particular group".<br />In addition I use Use an Initiative Characteristic instead of REp, that al;so becomes the "catch-all", "go-to" characteristic for anything situation I'd not thought of. The "savvy" skill is such a poor choice (imo) that I've omitted altogether.<br />Have you thought of character skill increases ?<br />Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-62710063928312084882017-08-20T18:29:31.222+01:002017-08-20T18:29:31.222+01:00thanks Dave!

The beauty of having figures based on ourselves is we can imagine them as we'd like them to be and not how they are in real life. this is what role-playing is all about - exploring new possibilities.
