I'm not sure if this is any clearer to you, but it worked for me when I was mulling it over. :-)
Yeah, that's what I thought. The color system works well for it, and would certainly make it easier to track in-game. Hmm... now I'm envisioning cinematic or supernatural advantages that let a person "heal" fatigue more quickly by transferring it from one pool to another...

Oh, I guess that's another question. With FP being a more valuable resource (in terms of the difficulty to recover it and the consequences of losing it) would this alter the value of advantages that restore it? There's mention of Regenerate FP (keeping the same cost, though with additional intermediate levels) but what about things like Leech or Absorptive DR? I'm presuming that they'd stay the same, since they're not mentioned.

Anyways, thanks for humoring me guys! Wanted to make sure I understand it correctly. ^_^
