[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 6262879, member: 63245"] We did use efforts, and factored in edges, and skills and all of that. However edge simply reduces the amount of points it takes to do something so that really isn't an active sort of thing. Now effort they did use, but most of the time they didn't because they felt they simply didn't need it and most of the time they were correct. Now that being said there were times when they DID use effort to reduce the target number, but in the times they did not use effort there's simply no distinction between abilities. I think that's one of the major problems. Stats don't seem to matter if you don't use effort for them. I can say make a Climb check, but if they don't use might effort for it, it wouldn't matter if it was a might check, a speed check or an intell check. [/QUOTE]
