Ideas on rules that change the way the system is played, that have yet to filter into the core section as options.

• Edge Protection: A refinement of 'flexible' armor types that converts some edged damage to crushing (even an indestructible shirt still transfers blunt-force trauma).
• Toughness: A form of damage resistance that simulates an entity's resistance to blunt force without reducing the amount of harm from edged weaponry nearly as much.
• Drop Excess Combat Info from Defense Evaluation: In other words, worry about defending BEFORE you know for certain the attack is going to hit you, instead of afterwards. Most relevant in gunfights, but also relevant elsewhere.
• Rule of 14: For passive skill usage - assuming a roll of 14 covers 90% of the possible outcomes.
