Re: ED4 Preview #3
You're turning Durability into hit points per level? Have always found the personal control over the Durability Talent the players have as a major plus compared to the other level based games on the market. 3e Karma rules, imnsho, blows chunks. It was a poorly thought out mechanical change done, fro...

Re: ED4 Preview #2
And SR5 still needed more play testing. And good grief, WTB errata. ED4 can take a long time to come out, just make it a good product all around - art, system, setting (should be easy), layout, and editing. Tell me about it.

Re: ED4 Preview #2
I believe the armor penetration issue for Disciplines that rely on it may be mitigated depending on changes with how called shots and Spot Armor Flaw are handled. A called shot could still be used to hit an area without protection, and Spot Armor Flaw could be adjusted to make attacks function like...

Re: ED4 Preview #2
Here's my thinking: Characters with a low Physical Defense don't really have an alternative way of protecting themselves from combat damage -- you can take some armor, but armor defeating hits against them make that pointless (and its a lot easier to get AD hits on them once enemies have a few rank...
