[QUOTE="jian, post: 9498538, member: 78087"] That’s fine if you’re handing out lots of FP, and if you’re making a FP economy clear as FATE games try and do (I’ve had mixed results here in the past; it’s generally best to make sure FP flow like water). But you don’t do fewer checks in FabU than in other games - usually at least one per PC per combat turn, and as many as you like out of combat, whether on combined checks or other things, such as Projects and Rituals - so if the players only have a few FP each they’re probably going to hoard them and use them in every third or fourth check. Assuming at least one combat scene per session, most players in our game were making 10-15 checks a session or so. Also, you can only use them for a bonus if a Bond applies (a Trait gets you a re-roll, which isn’t as helpful for reaching a high number) which it won’t always, especially if you haven’t formed many useful Bonds for various reasons.
