This is a system in active development. Some numbers (post-creation XP costs, a few melee weapon ratings) are still placeholders, flagged as such in their own documents. If something reads unclear or plays oddly, that's exactly the kind of feedback this playtest is for. Source and full history at github.com/feralucce/20_Below.
