[QUOTE="Jedi_Solo, post: 3450701, member: 40245"] One problem that has alluded to (by multiple people) is the "after the fact" record keeping of the the skills. Adding multiple +2s isn't difficult math. pouring through books trying to get +100 at 2nd level is a joy for some people. Where I run into trouble is auditing charcaters even two or three levels after I gained a bonus (I'm a player by the way). If I'm making sure I have my skill points correct I don't always remember where all of my bonuses come from. For D&D if it isn't a Rank and it isn't from the stat in question it all gets lumped together in Other. Bonuses from Synergys and Enahcnements to Luck and Because It Is Tuesday gets lumped into one category and I am looking for that portion of it being cleaned up. I can't always remember them all. It sounds like (currently) all of the bonuses will be feats/talents/class abilities so evenrything can be written down in some sort of Abilities section on the character sheet. That should help players (and DMs) keep track of everything. This I am looking forward to. At least until items from books start adding in +1s and +2s and the entire system gets shot down because someone wasn't paying attention and spilled coffee on the Death Star controls... [/QUOTE]
