I’m currently using Higher Lethality, Mutually Exclusive Character Options (to an extent, I may allow for doubles of the same career, but not on anything else), Sacrificing Actions for an Extra Manoeuvre and I will be using cheaper Non-Career Advances next session.

Higher Lethality is currently the option which has probably seen the most use and the one that has had the most visible effect on the game. Really makes fights quick and brutal, and has defiantly made the player characters think twice before charging into combat without a plan. I have a Priest of Sigmar with Healing Hand and two other members of the party have First Aid trained (both took it as an non-career advance), so I’m not to worried about combat being to deadly.

I’m going to be using the Non-Career Advances variant rule as a reward for the players, just to add in something on top of XP, Fate and Shiny Things.

I use:

Nemesis cards - (at least I will once I have a use for them)

Party sheet p.28 - I play that they can change their party sheet if the story allows for it. They can force it if they pay 1 adv/party member and be able to justify the change.

Insanities (permanent) p.28 - normally permant; could use discipline 1x/month success can spend adv. is cured advances spent up to the severity.; gm can also waive with good rp’ing

Expanded ACE (p.37) - could spend aggression for an extra maneuver; could spend cunning for stance

Prepareing for Actions (p.37, PC or NPC): (is allowed, but they rarely use it or remember to use it)

Sacrificing Actions for an extra maneuver (p.37, PC or NPC)- instead of using action, gain extra maneuver (I'm undecided on this one)

Risking against recharge (p.38, PC or NPC): (is allowed, but again, they rarely use it)

Fortunate circumstances (p.38) - (highly encouraged, but again, they tend to like using fortune points for die rolls

Mutually Exclusive character options (p.38) - I'm not enforcing this, but players are currently limited to the components I have. I feel it creates a bit of diversity.

Higher lethality (p.39) - successes beyond card lines inflict one extra damage/effect per success
