One of the things I appreciate about CF is that it shows hit point numbers, my previous MUD just used verbs to describe everything and it was super dumb. Showing edge point costs isn't that much different from showing 25 str or 1027 hps.

Doesn't seem like it would ruin anything to let people know how much it cost, people are pretty good about saying "I'm very strong" as opposed to "I have 25 str, beeyotch" in game. Plus it would drive engagement for players like me who really enjoy the min/maxing and could put together a set of edges they knew were attainable then work towards them.

Plus think of all the great forum discussion it would spark about how X edge should cost 2 EPs less than it does currently so someone could fit it into their otherwise perfect dagger/hand stsf/flow elf warrior build that just isn't competitive otherwise! (lol)

ps some day soon I will have time to roll another character, email me roles please and thank you
