I rather don’t like the Raise Dead ritual in Eden, the idea that with cash and little personal strength of your own, unlike a class feature or power you’ve acquired, can bring you back to life, so I offer a way to make out alive, but one that has a suitable drawback. Dying in battle should still have some punishment.

But I think with Injuries, it’s an interesting punishment. I like the stories where a hero tangible, lasting wounds still manages to perform heroic deeds. A guy with a broken arm kicks another guy in the face for the win; a guy busted rib staggers around swinging his weapon regardless; and so on. Plus the ensuing connection between the caretaker (the person with the Heal skill) and the injured party during an extended rest is something I really like.

Also note that Eden characters are generally better and stronger than non-Eden counterparts.

Regardless, I made some changes to them, to remove most of the attack roll penalties. Instead, while you can hit, you’ll be hitting for less damage. This means a character can still be effective using riders and such.

taboos, are they like superstitions or beliefs? a Spirit of Edens alignment system maybe?
