The Incarna mechanics are meant as a guideline. They support a system which can be implemented on many platforms (some easier than others), but these are merely the foundations. Event outcomes which provide for better story, as long as its not at the expense of player life or abused by a GM, should always take precendence over strict rules interpretations. If rules slow down play, figure out what works better for you and your play group. Do not let strict mechanics get in the way of enjoying the play. - (Kelly Berger; creator)
