Title: Boons & Snags?
Post by: imported_Rasyr on February 23, 2020, 07:48:32 PM: I have been thinking about removing the Boon & Snag system from the core rules for the Beta release.

Replacing them with some simple rules for doing Wounds -- for example, have it based on the amount of Fatigue delivered (such as Minor (10), Major (15), and Dire (20)) -- the number in parenthesis being the number of hits/fatigue/bruising delivered in an attack causing such wounds (yes, since AR reduces hits, it would make it harder to deliver such if they have armor). <-- this is just a VERY ROUGH draft of said idea....

Then the Boons & Snags could be introduced again later as an optional rule

Thoughts? COmments?

Post by: imported_Rasyr on March 22, 2020, 03:02:13 PM: essentially that is what I am planning on doing, rolling Boons/snags into Fate points (hence my comment about expanding them). You know things like 1 Fate Point to add xx damage or xx damage type of thing (may trim out a few other fate point uses in the meantime.
