Re: Considering some rule addtions

["worldoffargoth" <sergeantp@hotmail.com>]

I've been using fate points for quite some years now. Used a simple 
system:
Human D3+1
Elf D3-1
Dwarf D3
1/2ling D4
Orc D3
Giant D2
SHapeshifter D2
No less then 1 per PC.

Players would use the points to affect a critical point in the game 
where their characters were in emminent danger (is there any other 
kind?) If a point was expended event would unfold that wouldn't kill 
the character, but depending on the situation, might result in the PC 
being on death's door instead having to rely on his/her companions to 
then start the proccess of saving ther butt. 

Hope that all makes sense.

Regards,
Paul
