We are trying to limit the abundance of different types of long-term resource management that was often all over the play in P1. Resonance has a lot to do with that, wrapping up a bunch of similar mechanics in spell points is another way. Like nearly all playtests, what you see is a draft toward those design goals. Even those of us working on it are unsure how the final mechanics will be manifested. Names might change, the structure might change, maybe we need no worry, and everything looks fine. Hence, playtesting. That said, we don't want resource management to burden storytelling. We would rather it be a cool and exciting part of storytelling without creating corner cases and exploits that foil storytelling. StephenPathfinder RPG Senior Designer and map guy</blockquote>
