[QUOTE="Braydz, post: 4381212, member: 72815"] Well so far so good. What do you hope to do with the setting? Is this for a particular game, or to have a setting to set games in? You call it Sci-Fantasy, but aside from the scientific fantasies of mech's and clones I'm not seeing the "fantasy." Where's that come in? Where do the Races and Classes come in? The idea of adding "Conditions" is groovy, it'll make the game much grittier. But you may want to scale it back a bit; the penalties at the higher levels are pretty severe. Also it's another mechanic to keep track of. Maybe tie it to being Bloodied, and add two more states: Bruised (less than 3/4 HP) and Wounded (less than 1/4 HP)? This way you expand a pre-existing mechanic rather than add a totally new one. The real critique is that I think the chart could be laid out better. I suggest differentiating between the +/-1 Step mechanic markers and the effects of the "condition level" a little better. [/QUOTE]
