Run fancier?

I agree about the starting the push to specialisation means not only are the characters amazing in their field and not elsewhere but you're fairly pressured to do the same or you drag everyone down. I'd prefer more of a group on their first run good not great and some lessons to learn feel myself.

I do think Sum 2 10 is the optimal answer for both these questions.
I still like other methods better personally but, it's not a big step to go from standard priority to sum 2 10 priority.

Is it possible a newbie can screw up Sum 2 10? Yes. But I think its less likely to happen then screwing up standard priority.

My point was probably not well enough articulated. The sum version is not harder in a meaningful way so newbies will screw it up because of that difference.
Instead they will be faced with significantly more possible different combinations, where I suggest you avoid doing this to save time and them a headache over whether BAAEE or CAADE or BBBED or.... is better for their build.
Please excuse my English as it is not my first language. Misunderstandings are inevitable and smell peachy enough to be forgiven. Thank you :)

Presumably followed by Run Better, and some time next year, Run Stronger. Something missing, though I can't quite put my finger on it. :P
Despite that being a dedicated low joke, man that cheered me up!  ;D

Still waiting on a Vector-Thrust Liminal Body.

For life modules, i boost up the starting points in my campaign to 900 to start to make a decent background. I also accepted a bicardiac quality as part of background without surge, my player has the regret quality that he dealed with organleggers and had a second heart transplanted because of his original heart being weak in early teen years, and it caused his goblinization into an orc. He was raised inside a policlub humanis family henceforth street kid for teen years... and good plots fof the future...
All are going to run for EVO that wants to get the stuff and doctor from this Aztechnology owned free clinic helping poor people in the redmons and testing new transplant technics for free...
