Yeah, could be worth studying Fartlek intervals for coming up with a better ratio.

AP recovery via Do Nothings / Evaluates should probably also somehow be linked to food/water consumption in some way but that requires goes even more crunch/meta.

I had some ideas like defining metabolism as Leech w/ 1/5 discount (Internal Advantages, per Bio-Tech) where you drain HP/FP only from stuff you've eaten.

Totally intentional to parody the problem :) I should be zombie-shuffling with 2-second steps as if I had Decreased Time Rate at this level of injury/fatigue

LOL yeah I was only thinking about the range at which it makes sense to accrue the bonus...

There probably ought to be some "Evaluate yourself" option if there's no targets nearby if you want the benefit of "recover AP while walking" which Do Nothing denies, or else give Do Nothing the option to include a step also.

I guess there's nothing actually preventing you from evaluating yourself (this would be valuable if you wanted to poke yourself in the eye) and you could count as defenseless to double the evaluate bonus from +3 to +6 (as per the crit tables) to surpass Telegraphic's bonus (or just take Kromm's suggestion to stack with it)

I guess if I tied the roll it means I got back 1 AP then? I could've sworn it was -2 to HT but I lost track of what my FP was down to...

I wrote back on Nov 18 "due to being at 9/12 FP, I suffer a -1 HT -1 DX penalty" .. that's 75% of FP....

Am I remembering wrong about it being -1 HT/DX/IQ per 10% FP loss and it's per 20% or something? I'm assuming per full increment and we ignore fractions, need to check pyramid next time I'm on desktop...
