Expedition: general discussions.

I was thinking about a new system; here are my ideas: - A complete simplification of the system and making characters more relatable (as opposed to the old 'rock, paper, scissors' system). Removing characteristics should also open up possibilities for creating 'hybrids,' which some players previously desired. - Eliminating specialization points as an ineffective limitation and removing skills within specializations altogether because players generally choose a more or less uniform set of skills, leaving behind the least useful ones. - Globally reducing movement speed to improve tactical character capabilities. The initial drafts include 'basic' abilities. Default characteristics for the human race: Health: 30 Reaction: 3 Accuracy: 3 Speed: 3 Magic: 0 Chi: 0 Willpower: 3 Skill Points: 4

In addition to this, there should be national, racial, magical, and religious abilities that will be distributed in a similar way.
