The Amplitude Engine is coming down the home stretch

 Last year, I introduced the Amplitude Engine, and a few months later, I published a preview of the character sheet.

As we played-tested, wrote, and refined the game, the character sheet underwent several refinements. The state that you see it in here matches the rules themselves hitting version 0.9.0-RC4.

We're getting close!

Spinning my Wheels on Systems

A magic user's potential casting pool: Skill: (Command or Perform depending on the spell) Tool: (i.e. Magic staff) Aspect: (i.e. Dark Arts D8) Casting a spell costs a point of Ardor and includes invoking the Aspect: Dark Arts D8. Casting was handled much like maneuvers and inflicting conditions. Spells are also able to create tools on the fly. A single success creates a D6 tool, double D8 tool, triple D10 pool just like conditions. As Siggurd's arrows were killing goblins, on the fly the shaman created a magical camouflage cloak D6 that would be crucial for his eventual escape.
