I had heard vaguely about how this was a bad system before, but never before realised just quite how bad it was, and in what ways.

I kinda want to get together with my gaming group to make characters in FATAL and take the piss on the poor author

Hi, I did that with some close friends as a joke before. It starts out as a joke, but it will quickly become hellishly painful to continue. I think we stopped somewhere at distributing skill points, where the game just throws 6 pages of skills at you (not joking) and goes "just distribute these points". Having a giant block of alphabetically sorted skills, most being absolute garbage and some only sounding 'kinda' useful, was my breaking point

Thank you for the kind warning, stranger. I will heed your words.
