Scale

Numeric values applied to adjective to give an ordinal scale make for an interesting discussion for those that enjoy Fudge RPG. However, I've found the negative values used with vanilla Fudge to be difficult for many players to use. Aside from the negative numbers seeming to correspond to a negative definition of a skill or ability. In essence, the math once calculated does the same no matter what the scale, except the perception may be altered for many who just don't like negative numbers. However, my beef is the math. Subtracting a negative is sometime not so easy when you are trying to do it on the fly.
