So you actually need edge not to kill yourself when using abilities and skills (that is why training and all is so focused). In the original ruleset, you don't have a HP pool, your HP are you stats, when you take damage you take it off your might, when it goes to 0 you take it off speed and last intellect (then you die at 0/0/0, and everytime one pool drops to 0 you get a malus).
That's because how it works in pnp version. i mean how many games you can guarantee skill work 100% even if you haven't trained it as you can numenera with effort Originally posted by Nismu:then again when you take edge you get boost to all skills and abilities with that stat as you dont need to spend stat to get the effort.
