There's an interesting feature here, I note tangentially; one PP can
improve a result directly from "Success (Loser)" to "Big Success" (or
in PD terms, from Partial Success to Critical). This seems mildly odd
to me, but doubtless isn't serious (and may even have been intended...)
I can see why George Harris might not like 'em, used in this way. Try
them though, by all means, and if you remain implacably opposed, then
either (as a GM) throw them out entirely, at least as used in this way;
or (as a player) voluntarily refrain from using them, or delegate the
use of them for your character to the referee. Just a thought.
Slainte,
Alex.
