For the professional edge yes. But I do not think so for the Exceptional edge. In my opinion it is not needed. PS: I would point out that the rules do not exist in a vacuum.

Dispel works very differently. While related in domain, they are mechanically very, very distinct in function.

This could not affect a per in progress, costs a the same as the spell blocked. Requires stating the maneuver ahead of time, potentially waiting your action.

What you're looking at is a power with self only trapping. Power is major mod, the adept edge is major mod. Well, adept adds a "self only" power every rank (so 5 self only's) plus allows spending power points to increase AP of an attack. All those things combined is only worth one edge. T...

Funny thing is even the core rules suggest ignoring encumbrance. But occasionally you get to play with somebody old school enough to follow the rules in detail.

For myself i normally only count Weapons and Armor for encumbrance. As the rest generally gets dropped in combat.

The following seems to fit the flavor of the text provided from Canada. While I think it is balanced by the Savage Worlds approach.

As for the difficulty level of stay standing, that passage is from the damage of the BB-6 Revolver.
