To be completely frank, I don't see how the unfortunate inevitability of the individual who is inclined to use what is presented in a manner of "power play" has to do with the spread of stat increases in Digimon Families. Also not sure I follow on your mention of "complicated house rules".
While I can respect the character coincidence, I must point out that, out-of-the-box, the GM has about as much say in Digivolutions as the player, being that the player would mention to the GM which are preferred, and work theron, while the final decision is up to the DM.
I am completely open to making version updates. In fact, I will do so, plus a modular addition detailing ways to have players use Royal Knights and/or antagonists be the legitimate Demon Lords, sort of a "Heroes and Heretics" expansion if you will. However, I would very much like to run version 0.1 at least these two times, as this is being done to gain a bit of scope.
I personally can't justify a use-per-day system for a Digimon RP as it stands, as the majority of standard and repeatable actions in tabletop RPG's are weapons, and the majority of Digimon don't wield weapons. That and defining the line between what costs energy and what doesn't could become bothersome. Like, is every swing of Seiken Grandalpha a standard attack, or would it be a skill? The same with uses of Gallantmon's lance, or MetalGreymon's claw, or BanchoLeomon just, like, punching things. Perhaps the initial concept is not efficiently communicated by way of what limits the use of Techniques. The Energy costs probably earn a second look.
And, upon that second look, I realized I forgot to change the energy costs when I copied the format. Now I feel sheepish. Things should be more expensive now. That and, even if you get maximum energy somehow, a Rookie can use a Force based Technique five times (if I did my math right) before not being able to anymore without an Energy replenishing item or rest. Also, I clarified how the active stats grow on level up, and changed some wordings here and there, specifically with Weight.

@DFTBAStill interested in this mate?
Well, firstly I apologize, tone isn't easy to convey through text, and I did not mean to sound condescending. Secondly, your use of capitalized phrases made it seem like you were whining about something, and I would rather a mature discourse than an attempt at a written shouting match.
Thirdly (probably a nail in the coffin here), I don't see the issue you brought up as a problem. (Though I will have to define what constitutes a Systemic Foe category at some point.) In addition, I feel your claim of certain stats being "obviously inferior" was, at the least, a crass remark made to incite an angry response, or at the worst a misunderstanding of what those do. Furthermore, your supposition that I have an affinity for "Giga Cannon spam" is unfounded by your admission that there are no Families with a maximum increase in Wisdom.
The Family stat increases were made to reflect the traits commonly found in the included Digimon,(and I don't know about you, but no large group of Digimon stands out as wise to me) and not for mechanical "balance", which, as this isn't a thousand-player videogame, but a tabletop roleplaying game, isn't technically paramount.
What's important is the narrative, not how easy it is to conform to some battle efficient meta. If you aren't one who can understand the use of narrative elements, then I would wonder why you're on a website whose main purpose is collaborative writing in the first place.
As an afterthought, I can not confirm any resemblance to world of warcraft either as I have never played it, though I was under the impression it used a cool-down system of some sort.
You wanted to be answered? There, you got it. I wanted to avoid such things as unnecessary conflict or potential rule-casting when I'm not the GM. So, no, I'm not acting like some god. That's rather pretentious of you. I do believe we've gotten off on the wrong foot though, and I am more than willing to let bygones be just that.

Want, but need at least a PS Vita. Should have enough saved by March not to have it break the bank.
@Aisling Thank you. Unless you'd rather me pm you.
@Aisling If we both can agree to the same terms, then I'd be glad to. Perhaps PM me with the idea that interested you, if you please?
Bump.

@Lugia If you're not too busy, would you like to post? Alternately, you can simply say the word (ooc) and pass your chance to react, if you feel that's what you want to do.
