Converted from Phorums BB System

Great review - one minor point I'd like to correct though.. Drama points actually can do more than just give a +10 on a given roll. They can also be used to halve the damage a player has taken, pull a rabbit out of a hat so to speak, with a dramatic plot twist in his favor (e.g. finding a crucial clue when at an impasse or the like), gain a scene long +5 attack bonus (righteous fury) if there is appropriate dramatic reason, and even come back from the dead in some way shape or form (miraculous recovery in a hospital, a twin, arising as a ghost, zombie, vampire, something else..). They're really a wonderful part of the system, and offer a great way to balance the frailty and humanity of investigators with the higher power of champion characters.
