The basic numbers look good. I need to write up Roko and Cassandra as starting characters... spec out the basic combat system (to hit rolls and damage).
And probably a mini-adventure. Probably not "Prisoners of Skzentic", because that one's kind of long. Maybe just a "shrew rescue"... a handful of shrews have seized a big house and imprisoned the survivors in the basement. Can the PCs get in and rescue them?
Oh, and I could see adding a "Stun Threshold" where if you take X or more points of damage, you're thrown Off-balance automatically. It might be something like 5+Drive or just your Resolve total+5 (only the weakest of Drive characters should not be able to take any harm without being stunned). Resolve+5 should mean that even a -4 Drive PC with no skill will still have a Threshold of 1.
Should your HP include the flat +3 bonus for having Hero Points? Not sure. I need to playtest some combat and see whether or not folks have enough HP. That means writing up the 2 example PCs, and soon!
