I have not play tested yet, but the reading of the rules gives me a an impression that I also had back in the days of the second edition of the game under AEG. That the characters have very limited success chances at any given task with beginning characters at the start of the game. Are my fears justified? I mean especially with how easy it seems that a katana can get damaged or even destroyed.
Sure, we get now more points on various rings then we got under AEG, but the rings start lower too. And aside from school skills we get almost nothing to customise our characters more in that regard (no free starting points). Will this be an issue?
