60291, I'd like to two things with edges. More this or that choices and more options for getting them.

So basically, you have an edge for jab. One edge could cause bleeding or one edge could cause more damage, or one could give two slightly weaker strikes. But each time you get one it gets more expensive by double. So you COULD possibly get them all, but it will leave you barren in other edges since the third time you pick something for a specific skill it ends up being 4x as costly as the first one you pick. People would have to balance what they really like. Basically it would allow people to choose certain skills to specialize in if they really wanted to.

Other options would be a you chose one and you are eliminated for the others, like some of the assassin ones, though I like that less. A third idea would be similar to the first. Have a set multiplier to all edges and each time you take an edge the multiplier increases. This way people would need to plan which edges to take in order and be more specialized.

And here is what I would DREAM of in the game. More options for things like edge points. Exploration, PK, Observation, these are already there. I'd love it if quests could also give edge points and if leaders of cabals or senior priests in religions had a small pool of recognition edge points they could give out as rewards to people in the name of their God or Cabal. So say the High Priest of Twist notices that Billy who is uncaballed has helped restore balance or thinned the veil. He then decides that he can give a little recognition to Billy. Billy now how some recognition edge points. The recognition pool would refill slowly so they would only give them out to outstanding players and only people who are given this skill, leaders and high priests, would be allowed to do this. (I'd also like to see this so high priests of a God could give out limited empowerment.)

I'd also like edge points to be more visible in your score. Just like you can see how many practices or trains you have, you can see your edge points and kinda get an idea for whether you want to spend it now or wait for something else.
