Update on how this is working out in play: For skill checks, pretty good. So far at least, I prefer it to core EP. Of course, so far all that we have actually done mechanically has been skill checks, and as a skills-oriented system, nWoD handles those well. We haven't been sufficiently exposed to terror for me to get a good read on how well our sanity system works. Similarly we haven't had any serious combat. (There was one shootout with some wildlife, but it wouldn't have been a genuine threat even if we didn't have medichines and healing vats). I'm a bit skeptical about the rep system we're using. It's based on a system used to partially de-abstract WoD's wealth merit. IMO this makes rep too much like currency, which it is not. OTOH, there are the issues Bibliphile mentioned with the old system. (Max out all of your rep networks for minimal res, get lots of free stuff.) Our system does not fix all of the old issues. In EP core you could burn 20 rep for another Expensive favor. If you decide to pay this with rez, that's only spending two rez for an Expensive item like a plasma rifle, which is low compared to the 20 that it's supposed to cost from credits. (Which is a no-brainer for someone who can expect their equipment to stick around for a while.) As we have done it, you have to burn a number of rep points equal to the cost level of an item whenever you acquire it. This of course means that it is better to spend rep on your expensive items and credits on less expensive items. (With credits, a plasma rifle is the same cost as 80 enhanced visions. With rep, a plasma rifle is the same cost as 5. So long as you have ready access to a mixed economy, the best option seems to be to acquire expensive items with rep, then sell them and buy less expensive items with credits.) This is all speculation, however. We've been out in the gate network since implementation, so there's been no opportunity to do a live-fire test, as it were.
