[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8485183, member: 7026617"] Don't feel too bad, Savant. People with a lot more resources than you have fail on accounting for how things will play at higher levels because they rarely or never see it at that level (the Dragon Age RPG absolutely suffered from that, and it only was modestly fixed in Fantasy Age; I can't speak for Modern Age). I can't imagine you had exactly massive opportunities to playtest across the range (if you did, you're better than designers with sometimes pretty well known companies get to do). For what its worth, now that you've explained it I think your decision is pretty reasonable; if you had to rework the books to get proper POD anyway, there's no reason not to do some fixes while you're at it. Its just that the optics aren't, well, great; people bitch like hell about edition churn (though some of that is people not getting the practical realities of stagnant sales in this industry), and from a distance, this looks like it.
