Looking through my books (which arrived yesterday), and I'm really liking most of what I'm seeing.

They broke apart Experience Points and Hero Points.

Not crazy about dividing out the Attributes and Skills (so if you had DEX of 3D+1 and Acrobatics of 1D+1 you roll 4D+2).

But the way they handle the Wild Die seems like a significant improvement. At least it sounds that way on paper. I'll be curious to see how it actually plays.

Interesting on the wild die - have to give that some thought.

XP & Hero Dice
One the CP being Split into XP and hero dice - my group has been running that for a bout three years - and the players love the change - it works out well.

It also gives options for other actions that can generate extra hero dice - (like the example on the wild die).

Skill Value Segmentation
We also have been keeping track of skills as an added value instead of a total - which also has been working well in playing.

(additionally - the cost for skill advancement - is based on the skill itself, not the total - which is why we did it -that an cleaner record keeping).

We have been playing this way for so long - some of the players don't recall the older ways - so all good.

I've long adjusted how I award Character Points to cover for usage in-game and as XP. It wouldn't be that difficult for me to spit into XP and Hero Dice but I also award knowing that higher skill costs will be at play.
