Sure, I can work around the issues, but when long-term players are getting frustrated in game, it is time to think of the bigger picture.
It was fantastic while it lasted (thanks Ardem, for all your efforts over the years!), and RMFRP is certainly a better ruleset than RMC due to its organisation and higher resolution of the skills. But I started with RM1 and GMed everything up to RMC across the decades, so painful systems are nothing new.
RMC still plays like RMFRP, but is heavily simplified, with big changes to Stats and Skills, oh, and the RMFRP SM Tables - got to love those. Most other concerns for NPC stats and Items are trivial in comparison.
RMC also has some catering for RMFRP built into it already - including the ability to implement Skill Categories with their Skills - just not the Category Bonus flow on - it has to be done manually just like the skills. The biggest problem being that there is no FRP Calculation options for skill/category progressions - a simple programming problem for Dakadin to implement. ;)
The rest I will add into the RMC rules forum.
Cheers.
