[QUOTE="Exen Trik, post: 4147777, member: 34942"] Interesting. I wonder how that will compare to 4e resistances. Are you still using the F/R/W defenses, though? A little more rolling, but no additional bookkeeping. Just enough to allow for the delay mechanic, yes? Is this only in reference to strength, or frequency? I can see limits as simply per day, or being a little more common like action points. Your reference to limit modes indicate some way of earning them, possibly using a 4e monster styled recharge mechanic, that triggers under certain conditions? MP using powers like spells are, if styled after the games, usable round after round like an at will power, but limited by MP so it they should be around the power of a per encounter ability.
