So far the game is very interesting. One thing that stood out to me, when I was reading the ancestry powers pretty much every one had an ability I thought sounded amazingly powerful. The characters definitely seem to start off capable. The power curve is an interesting mix of bounded accuracy, similar to D&D 5e, while the weapon damage growing as your proficiency increases is very much reminiscent of 13th Age.I need to get my head around the damage system in general a bit more before I can really understand the implications of this. It feels a little like Savage Worlds where you only have a small number of wounds (hits, here) so there isn’t the HP escalation of post 3.x D&D but it doesn’t seem to have a death spiral effect like Savage Worlds does.There are some subtleties that I think will trip up my group for a while, notably that Reactions don’t generate Fear or Hope. There are also definitely some errata needed - surely Ilmari’s Rifle (p119) is two handed (unless everyone is supposed be Rooster Cogburn?).I think the way equipment in general is presented is interesting. That also gives me D&D 4e vibes, where all the magic items were in the PHB and players could petition the GM for what they wanted to find.On to the GM chapter next…</blockquote>
