>Let me start by saying that the number of edges that characters, as a whole, have had gotten completely out of control.<

Had been saying that for years. The idea in principle was excellent (new ways to customize every character!) but in execution it left a lot to be desired.

As you mentioned, I can't imagine the original thought behind edges would allow certain characters to have soooo many. The idea (in principle from what I could glean from forum conversations) behind them was to make a weakness less of a weakness or make a strength slightly stronger. That's a great idea...but, you have to have checks and balances for that idea. I shouldn't be able to cover ALL of my weaknesses and make ALL of my strengths stronger.

I always thought edge points should be capped. You should only be able to get 5-7 edges total for a character, and they should be ranked in tiers. You get can take 2-3 from tier 1, 1-2 from tier 2, 1 max from tier 3 (tier 3 would be edges like Devious Versatility that impart a significant amount of power to a character).

Anywhoo, hope everyone is well, and hope the Holidays treats everyone well.
