Or if you wanted to remove the repeated reference to the same object, you can rearrange to:
"All of this while keeping the emphasis on
who as much as
what the characters are."
Or
"All of this while keeping an emphasis on
who as much as
what the character is."
Or throw out the sentence and start over as Agamemnon did.
That's why I said it's anachronistic. All three suggestions are correct by contemporary standards. And yes, throwing the whole thing away and start from the beginning is also good.

33 at it again, saying what i wanted to express much more eloquently than i could have said it. Thank you, 33! (Gawd, i wish i was smarter...)

As an native Polish speaker (hehehe) I'd say I didn't expect to witness a lengthy grammar discussion here
, but well... yeah, accenting "who" and "what" makes more sense, guys. From my perspective. Now go back to writing the game, kurwa, nothing to see here. Thursday's coming fast.

On a more productive note,
We've been approved and will be available to select as soon as the site's front-end is updated again. With luck, that'll be just in time for the character creation book to launch tomorrow.

So, can we expect the S&S Beta to "hit the rack" at any moment?

On this glorious day, Barbarossa would like to take a moment and formally thank his buddies Redbull and Self Hatred for their contributions towards this project. Three thousand lines of code later, we are now roll20 active.
Wherever there is code malfunctioning, he will be there.

I hate HTML... The type "tag" for the drives are "number" so it should only allow numbers.
I just added a min and max value so in a future update it will only allow values from 0 to 5.
Thanks for the heads up. Glad you enjoy the character sheet.
Hugs and Kisses, Barbarossa

Unfortunately those are all numbers - even if some of them are in hexadecimal...

Not funny. At first I was like: "oooh man I'm seeing stars I'm gonna pass out gooddbye world!". Few seconds later I'm still online with the world, so I've started blaming the displaying device. Thank you for that, Grand Heresy. Not funny.
On the iPhone, the sparks look just fine. On the 24" desktop with 1920x1080, the sparks are gigantic, but only showing up every now and then in a very slim ribbon and indeed look like a bug
Depends on perspective, as always.
