[Torg] Any everthought ofor triedreversing/altering Torg'sMetapower vsAdvancement struggle?

[Chris]

I will admit that I have not read the majority of this thread, but from the
messages I have read, I feel I need to ask this question about the
distinction being given for Character Advancement vs "Meta-powers." Part of
it may be my limited understanding of things, or perhaps I misunderstand
some of the fundamental things of the system/cosmverse. The way I see it,
the conscious decision of the player to not spend possibilities in favor of
saving them for later advancement is meta gaming, using player knowledge of
what it going on at a game level to choose whether or not to use P-Points.
Using P-Points during an encounter to manipulate reality in some way, which
is a relatively new option to the characters, especially in early game,
seems more like something that is in-character. The character knows what is
going on at that moment, and is concerned with accomplishing a task.
Depending on the situation, a character may spend P-Points that they may not
need to, but it is for them to learn from, and still the character's
decision.
