OkI have confirmed difficulty with stats, like King Atlantis said. However it is not stat schecking, as checking just involves looking at numbers, but stat tracking.
Stat tracking is going to be hassle filled to those that don't use the playmat. Why? Because taking a pencil and paper and crossing out the stats, and writing new ones every few turns can be annoying.
I want to hear possible solutions people. Friend as the scorekeeper? What?
EDIT: I figured an improvement for Paper and pencil. Instead of changing the discipline scores for a turn, due to an effect, the player affected would simply remember the stat.
