You are in no way an ass etc. Your comment is more than valid. Terrans are average because well they are the norm. But also because of that I am still unsure of what benefits or bonus to give them. putting youe notes here because i feel they are valid, an may give others ideas as well to help with game balance or improvement. I know your game is still in the works and all I was just wanting to
give you some constructive criticism about the Terran race bonuses. I've
gone through the rulebook a few times and something that sticks out to
me is the Terran's starting power.I know some of their abilities are
pretty awesome,I know because I'm playing one. But when I look at the
other factions feel like they get way more benefits than the Terran
does. The Terrans' faction abilities I feel balance out with the
others,but when you compare their bonus stats that the other factions
get the Terran +2 bonus to skill seems greatly undermined. I mainly was
comparing the Lolita to the Terran and I think if you just look at the
two you can see that their is a huge drawback to being Terran.Sure if
your a Lolita you get -1 to body but along with your benefits to being a
Lolita it wouldn't be that hard to make up for the body drawback.I
think this difference would deter players from playing the Terran race
altogether. Looking at the other races I can see that being Terran seems
weak,also the Victorian seems to be under-powered also. I know humans
aren't nearly as powerful as the Zeniri or Vampire factions but they
need to be able to make up for their weakness with something that makes
humans be able to spread out across the solar system like they have. I
like the idea you've introduced that Victorians and Terrans are very
resourceful and I also believe that their faction Traits are on par with
the other factions,all I'm saying is that if knowledge in a variety of
skills if the Terran's bonus and Knowledge with Machines is the
Victorians bonus then they should be more of a bonus to their starting
skill and or ability bonus. P.S. I'm not trying to be a Dick or Rag on you I just want to try and help you with your game system. Also,so
far I think your game is rad as hell and I really appreciate how much
work you put into it. I think you did a great job with the Factions and
the story, I believe that it has the potential to be a good game.
