State of Ignited 08/02/2021

Hello!
It has been a while since the last update on Ignited, and since then I have been busy with school. But during this pseudo-hiatus, I have thought about changing a few things about Ignited, namely:
- Stats and ability scores/mods
- I feel like the six base stats and how they're determined at character creation is a little bit complicated, as I've noticed almost all of my players choose the standard array of scores and modifiers instead of point buying for them.
- In light of this, I'm thinking of doing away with scores, and considering downsizing the number of stats from six to three: Body, Mind, and Heart. This way characters won't be too bogged down in numbers and stats. Are you a "brain cell" character? then you probably have a positive Mind modifier. Body? You're probably fast, strong, or sturdy physically. The Heart stat is more of your will, your spirit, and such.
- Moves
- Coinciding with the Stats and Ability Scores change, I also feel like the basic moves should be replaced with "guides" for how performing actions (and by extension reactions) is done (Attacking is usually a Body roll, Investigating is a Mind roll, and so on), then leave moving and acting to the players' imaginations.
- Range Tags
- The most likely change to be implemented, The ranges for the Range Tags are probably going to be increased. Will need to think about this more.
- I also feel that I should establish a uniform format for how ranges are stated, so as to not make reading spells more complicated.
- Spells
- Contemplating removing the improvement system of Spells, as a lot of effects that are improvements could be their own standalone Spells. This makes Costed Spells (barring Commands) easier for me to write, but also/or alternatively;
- Through the current playtest campaign, I've found that I make unique (different from legendary) spells more often than not. which leads me to consider writing a template for spell and creature creation that GMs and Players alike can use.
What are your opinions?
