Re: Thoughts on SPD
I think the SPD limit for NCM is right at 4. SPD allows PCs to move and act and I have found that they always max out on that characteristic if they can. Instead of changing the limit of the NCM, that sounds like something that a GM can change. If you want to have a campaign where NCM characters can have a 6 SPD, then do it. Or a GM can decide to keep the point total to increase past 4 at the regular 10 ot level. The reason for the higher cost past the 4 SPD is to prevent players from all having huge SPDs. Instead of changing that rule, it might be better to divorce the SPD from the DEX.
