I have a question that relates to progression skills, in particular armour. Explaining my reasoning may break FOIP rules, so would you prefer me to email you?

Suggestion. Remove Will tokens and trust the players, or make the tokens into Cards. I prefer No Cards or Tokens because, mostly, that the people involved are sensible and that the ref team would have a job keeping up, if / when the game scales up. Understand the ref has to be there to "give out mystic knowledge" while you pray, hence can / has to be there (and can give will cards back) however as a player this alters drastically "Fighting Casters" and turns them into "Robe Wearing Finger-Wagglers." Unless you want them to be the that way. I personally also find card-ripping a horrible mechanic in any larp, because it spoils the spontenaity of spell casting. Uber Mage, who as studied Magic for decades and is the Most Powerful in the Known World has to pull some cards out of his pocket to cast a spell....

| Follow up to the previous - for the consideration of others: Wear Armour should be a tree of progression skills, making it quicker to train in say, Wear Heavy if you already have Wear Medium.

I agree with the above suggestions and would add perhaps just state the normal maximum will of the character on their card to use if proof of resistance is needed. Since I don't play a spellcaster it may however affect them differently.

This is certainly an area we'll be looking into one way or another.

Great idea, will be tabled for discussion.

| ta Pete, the card already has your Will on it, for everyone I should imagine, certainly was on mine. Doesnt just effect spellcasters but also people spells are being cast on or at, as well as fighters with skills that require the use of will......... Hmm, I see an opening here .... FIRST STRIKE THROUGH!! That's me done, sleepy now

| I concur with the point about will. Players are trusted to track their six hit locations, so should be able to track a seventh number to record their will
