Side Hexes
Side hexes are a little confusing to me as single hex entities normally only have front (3) & rear (3) Hexes. Is that referring to flank hexes on a multi hex entity? - 16:17, 11 September 2013 (NZT) Bernard
Evade and Riposte
I think this has been over complicated and Ripostes made too unlikely.
- Riposte has been moved to far down the chart, it is only possible on a 10% of Defence over 100 roll against a fumble and 10% of defence over 200 against a standard hit.
- The increased evading defence appears to be an attempt to bring ripostes into the realms of possibility but they are still highly unlikely.
I think that the various increases to defence can be removed if ripostes happen earlier (as per the Proposed numerical resolution and this makes the defensive evading fighter viable again.

Is evading a heroic game of action that we want to promote? It also creates the environment where if the target has a high defence you are probably better off not attacking them, which seems silly. We want people to feel able to take on big bad things, not have to measure up strike chance & defence to work out if it is likely to get a riposte more than they get a hit. --Bernard (talk) 23:34, 10 September 2013 (MDT)
Bleeders
I think these add more book-keeping without adding sufficient extra flavour/value to be worth while.

Seconded on that front. It's nice to have them but just keeps getting forgotten. Same with the armour damage on the non spec grev blows.
