If you want odds stacked against the players, you have to give them some mechanical ways to bring the odds back. If you stack the odds in their favor, you have less design space to work with and they can cruise more easily through things.My point really wasn't that you need multiple currencies. I was just trying to highlight that when a mechanical option like a metacurrency is made available to the players, they themselves are generally good judges as to when's the right moment to use it.I do think that having the odds of success be really comfortable (like in 5E) for example is one of the causes of people rarely using their inspiration points and waiting for the right moment to use it.You did make me curious to read more on Force Points though, it definitely sounds interesting!</blockquote>
