Hello!
I have been reading over the sixth edition rules, and I would greatly appreciate opinions on the cost of Strength and Speed.
I feel that Strength should cost 2 points instead of 1 point.
Likewise, I feel Speed should cost 20 points instead of 10 points.
Reasoning being: Strength is incredibly handy for lifting/throwing/breaking free/damaging things/people. Strength often allows gigantic attacks from move through; haymaker; etc... Despite the loss of 'free' figured stats, I think Strength at 1 point is too inexpensive.
Speed: For what it does, 10 points seems a steal for an extra action.
Also, at 10 points a pop for speed, nearly every player feels forced to break concept and be faster than they should be based on concept. Admit it....everyone has too much speed. I think I am the only player I ever saw make a character with a 2 or 3 speed based on concept.
All comments welcome.
