Houserules I started using last week:
During downtime, my players may convert their Playbook XP into Attribute XP at a 2:1 rate (and vice versa). This can allow advancement despite not training a thing, so YMMV. My players enjoy having some control over this.
Also, they can spend XP to upgrade the result of the most recent roll by 1 level (bringing a 1-3 to 4/5, raise a 4/5 to 6, or a 6 to a crit) unless the roll is desperate or they have zero dice for the action.
Oh, we changed it back to XP based on what you did? Seems like v6 is reverting a lot of earlier changes.
v6 didn’t change XP mechanics at all. That page is identical to v4 and v5.
I don’t think any mechanics were touched at all. What reversions are you talking about, Mike?
Well, it seems I’m actually just wrong about the XP rules – those haven’t changed, I was just reading them wrong – I thought ANY XP could be placed wherever you wanted, but most XP is assigned a category and only end-of-session XP goes wherever you want.
v6 DID change the position names again though, I’m not making that one up.
Yeah, I’m still waffling on position names. When you said “a lot of earlier changes” I was confused. 🙂

Okay, so two, where one was my error isn’t “a lot”; Sorry for the alarm!
