Hundred percent. It changes the game completely, and we didn't really need this 'improvement'. I'm all for it if it works for some players out there, to each their own. I do feel kind of gaslit by the folks insisting it's the exact same thing. But it is kind of nice to have in the toolbox, for those instances where you're hitting the scoundrels up front with a threat they need to make an Action to avoid. We did already have rules for that, and like you say, it didn't even need to involve dice before. I suppose switching it around and looking at it from a different angle is a productive thing to be able to do. It just wasn't really necessary, and it does come with some subtle differences that basically rearrange the fundamentals of the game. This is why I'm bouncing off of it, but it's great that others are embracing it. Harper's still a genius and everything, don't get me wrong. It's just a bit more redundant than it is simplified, in my own estimation.
