Egg on my face lol I read the whole description and somehow didn't notice you were a step ahead of me. Glad to hear!

I just want to start this off by saying that I love the concept of this game, and what I can see it looks like something I have wanted for literally years, and as soon as I can afford to buy a copy I'm snagging one.

The use of color alone to differentiate the "damage, heal, special" trifecta can be not super accessible to people with certain kinds of color vision deficiency. Replacing the flat colors with something like color + image (such as adding a sword symbol on red squares, etc) or color + pattern (such as red having horizontal stripes, blue having vertical stripes, and green having diagonal stripes) would help those people to be able to better read the ability.

I love the system, but I fail to understand how defenses are supposed to work. Armor and shields make reference to defense rolls, but those rolls aren't defined. When being attacked, do you need to roll for each point of damage that your armor or defense action would block? That would mean that instead of the Defend action blocking 1 damage as stated it would allow you to attempt to block 1 damage, or maybe even to attempt to block damage until you block 1 damage.

And less a gripe than a jovial poke in the ribs: exploits are brilliant, but I feel the perfect opportunity to refer to them quite literally as "experiences" was missed.
