Any word on a blank character sheet? :D

Thank you, it was my imaginary father's name. And it would be appreciated. I want to start making a few test characters to kick the beta around a bit. Not that the old ones or good old blank paper don't work, but a blank official one would be nice.

If you go the route of hit points above and beyond the standard damage mechanic, then you probably need to justify them in the same way they always have been viewed: representing abstract luck, chance, and trivial wounds that eventually give way to the serious ones. As a long time D&D player...

I like the redshirts as ablative armor options... So for those of you more familiar with how combat works, how effective/essential are reactive dodges and parries for survival? I did have a thought about giving a free defensive action or two (maybe 1 plus Dexterity modifier), if that would...

I like that idea too. The recent FFG Star Wars games do something similar with groups of goons so you can fight a hoard of Stormtroopers without being quickly cut down. I like that idea because it simplifies multiple lesser foes and cuts down on the number of die rolls that can slow down combat...
