Swordsman Question

[Bob Richter]

Personally, I just limited penalties from skill packets to +1 (anything less would be kinda stupid, since MA can deliver at packet rating.)

Worked well enough. I have no complaints.

After all, if everyone has body language, it's back in balance.

Yeah, I'd rather see swordsmen get a better body language than have to remember "oh yeah, for this ONE skill, I should add 3 to everyone's scores if THEY pick it up too."

And it does all balance at the end.  Plus, since most people WON'T take Body Language (there are a lot of better, or more important-looking, skills out there) that makes the Swordsman even more ascendant.

So, yeah, my "ruling" if I ever run this game would be to reduce the penalties down to +1.
