This is a blessing for a game designer. A genuine heartfelt article detailing what you believe to be the problems in the system and what you believe would be the best course of action. on a lot of it you are correct as well.
when designing this system, I mainly considered Virtual Tabletop in its design and structure as that's what me and my friends mostly play. I did In fact neglect the side that was paper and pen and in that I apologise and will make it more accessible to that side.
additionally I like your suggestion of splitting the Heminth and Riven mods into smaller documents to make it optional content. I realise that by it being within the core book it makes it look like its required.
I also agree that crafting isn't a great system but there was a chance that players may want to keep it but you have proven to me that my hunch was correct and that I should have followed it, so I will dumb it down quite a bit to make it easier to follow and not a mess.
for the attack rolls, I can't do much about the amount. as this was made for me and my friends initially, I have a friend who likes to roll a lot of dice. however I do agree that on pen and paper counting up d100s would be absolute agony. the type of dice can change easily. if it were to be simplified down to something like a d10 it would make it far easier, changing the amount of dice you would have to roll in your example from 44 to 22, at least on Tabletop. plus making the numbers smaller makes them easier to count. For the weapons statistics, some will be getting changed
I Have been looking back over the core book and I see what you mean about critical chance and status chance and I realised that yes that is so excessive, that will be changed immediately to be a lot simpler. also yes I am a moron for the void sling, dear lord how did I not see that!
Some of the weapon stats will also receive changes or get outright removed because they do slow down the game significantly by their existence.
somewhere during this games development it has become clear to me that I got lost in the sauce as it were and forgot that this game is meant to be fun, and don't worry this will be rectified.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this boon, I could not thank you enough. I will hopefully be posting and update to the core rules, mod book and arsenal later today. once again thank you and I hope you stick around. :)
