    Not the first time, either. I think we had a litereal "are force points metacurrency" thread a while back.

    No you don't. You spend a resource to reroll or whatever. They don't need to provide any narrative control. They don't even have to be metagame if "luck" or "the force" are real things in the fiction.

    Bennies etc are not narrative mechanics. ETA: not necessarily narrative mechanics.

    I wouldn't even give LevelUp a full point boost. I trust your ability to extrapolate. You can do it!

    Sure there are some people that did not like that aspect, but I don't think they are the majority. Most people realized it just wasn't very good. I mean, there was a whole movement of people who decided that the final episode must have been a dream and Netflix was going to drop the REAL finale...

    I am pretty sure that is what I wrote when I said "there are lots of solutions."

    4? Something around there. I am trying to think of some hidden complexity.

    I put PF2 above PF1 mostly because of the density of Tags, as well as little modifiers and lots of conditions. But the distance between them is not that great, just a little different.

    I am not sure why you would need "narrative" mechanics for that. There are lots of solutions to the design problem. One of the easiest is to give the non-Jedi more drama points/bennies/luck/whatever. Buffy did this and it worked great.

    Well, if the new players won't know, no worries... Look, all I can say is that for me and my players, it is a worse version of the rules and less fun to play. They spent all that time "playtesting" and the results were sub-par.

    Sure. Now why screwing up half the spells?

    How Complex Do You Prefer Your TTRPG Systems In General

    I was wondering how long it would take for the discussion to turn toward how badly I set my benchmarks. ::sigh:: I think of complexity mostly in moving parts. 5E is a 6 because while it's core mechanic is dead simple, it still has as many bits, bobs and exceptions as other d20 versions of the...

    Every game is built with restrictions inherent to it. By this logic, D&D should not stop at level 20 and should have some arbitrarily longer level progression.
