Why I was asking for a forum. A place to talk about this in great detail without cluttering up the comments or the web comic forum. (Please don’t stop though, I’m eating up everything I can find on this.)

Indeed…The system mechanics are somewhat interesting, but I keep ending up thinking how I’d do the same sort of things in my personal favorite system, GURPS (which would has the base stats as, well, stats, the ‘refined’ stats as skills, and the ‘senses’ as sense advantages/disadvantages). OTOH, I’m very much liking finally seeing all this background information about the setting and character types. 🙂

Well, looking over it, its got a 4e shadowrun vibe in how its does the challenges, using the stats as a way to lower the target threshold, but also to keep that 1 in 6 in there is a nice touch. However, you may want to cap that for balance reasons, if the target is 2x or more higher. (4e delved away from 3rds pool system, which was like refined stats in being a combination of two or three stats) Soul stats, strikes a balance of essence (life force, vital to mages, but not as so to the cybernetic folks, acting as a limiter to how much they could manage) magic, and karma (luck for anything you needed when the stakes are down, but renewing with heroics) depending how you approach it.

The three area’s allow a great deal of flexibility, but you may want to consider a standard array (two good, two above average/or one average and a above, and one or two bad ones. As dice can be very cruel at times), or a point buy system (both work if all races save the special types dont have a cost, it would have to see how the stats balance in regard to race) Refined strike me heavily as skills, which is different, but looks promising. I am not really sure how to take the senses yet, but its an interesting idea, and good real world one.

I’m sorry if i sounded off or in anyway overly critical, but I do look forward to the new refinements to this. Thank you for the time to read, and hope it works out with comic and this.

@Sulucamas: in the game’s current form, I’ve left a lot of it up to the discretion of the GM. I’ll probably tighten it up to somewhere in the middle (“You did something that gave you a real sense of accomplishment! You get XP!”)
