It's a great idea/concept, but I don't like the specific execution here.
ReplyDeleteUgh...I'm not supposed to be blogging, but I feel I must take a crack at this!
I love the idea! But I agree with a commenter that said the Edge should be lost, not gained.

ReplyDeleteYeah, that was me. I posted my own version of the idea here:

Jonathan Becker that's pretty good. I kinda like John Stater's write up where an ability score is treated as an 18. I think that's pretty elegant. But I haven't thought hard enough about it to make up my mind. I do like how you've written the loss of the edge over time. It fits perfectly with BX's low/mid level range.
