I have some suggestion for the Scar.

I feel like the Scars are a bit easy to get, especially since getting any amount of damage give you Old Wound token, and 1 in 6 chance of getting a Scar is pretty high, and at which point it sometime better to Break, than taking more Old Wound token. And it also discourage people from engaging in combat, and there especially in the early game, you only have 5 to 7 hit point, making Scar kind of redundence.

Here are some of my suggestion.

1. Lessing the cost for getting Reconstructive Surgery token, 300$ is too much for a thing that you will likely get often, maybe 100$, and also ditch the lower of the token or toughness thing, and just let you buy the token to get rid of the Scar.

2. Make the Scar heal naturally, I feel like this make Malice feel more dangerous since you can't just wait it out. How about Scar heal after 1d6 Investigation?

3. Increase the threshold of damage you need to take before getting Old Wound token. I feel like veteran character with 20+ hit point shouldn't get a Old Wound token from thing that deal 2 damage to him. Maybe if the damage taken is 10% of your total health, you gain a Old Wound token.

4. Increase the amount of Old Wound token needed to get a Scar, similiar to the last idea, but decrease the chance of you getting the Scar, with  1 to 5 hitpoint being 1d6, 6 to 10 being 1d8, 11 to 15 being 1d10, 16 to 20 being 1d12, 21 to 25 being 1d14, and so on and so forth.

I feel like the Heirloom Ring is a little bit underpowered, it's a one time use that can't be brought back so I think it should either recover all Omen or gain 4 Omen (not recover). Because there is now so many other way to reover Omen.

Why is it call 7 Stranger when there're 8 classes?

A Court is a collection of supernatural being that are greater than most, but aren't truly gods. The Courtier are those supernatural being, there're 3 tier of Courtier, Low Courtier are supernatural recently invited to the Court, Courtier are supernatural who been in the Court for sometime now, and the High Courtier are those who devote themselves to one of the Lord of the Courts. Lord of the Courts are greatest of the Court, whether that be physical, mental, social, or supernatural. While a Lord of the Court can potentially destroy a Gods, they only have 10% chance of it, most Court have atleast 4 Lords, some have 5 or 6 and very few have 7 or 8 Lords. The Court are different from Conspiracy because Conspiracy are made of human or atleast mortal being, not supernatural immortal creature. And they're different from Gods in that they don't have a single powerful being.

Sure, and I prefer when I don't have to write the stuff I want myself.

Seven Stranger 3 could introduce more tarot inspired class like it did in Seven Stranger 1, here are some of my idea.

●The Star: Those who sparkle hope onto the world, idealist who touch the heart and soul of everyone who seen or heard of them, but all the fame might start to corrupt the star, and the attention aren't always benigh.

● Reason for the class: It continue the tarot theme from Seven Stranger 1. It introduce drama and horror from all the fame and attention the class bring. The character type is common in psychological horror/thriller.

● The Moon: Those who seek comfort within the darkness, seeing it as a place of safetly, to hide away from all the regret and mistake they make, but within the darkness are horror they know all too well.

● Reason for the class: It continue the tarot theme from Seven Stranger 1. It introduce drama and horror from place of comfort and haunting of the past. The character type is common in gothic horror/thriller.

● The Sun: Those who shrine against the darkness of the world, doing anything to make the world a better place, but with every light there is a shadow, as doubt creeping in the Sun head on how much they could really change. 

● Reason for the class: It continue the tarot theme from Seven Stranger 1. It introduce drama and horror from self doubt even from the most pure soul. A character type found rarely in horror, but would make the game mood more hopeful than most.

● The World: Those who travel the world in search of enlightment, constantly changing, and renewed themselves, but at the end of every journey is death, and then rebirth.

● Reason for the class: It continue the tarot theme from Seven Stranger 1. It introduce unique perspective of a worldly traveller into the game that is different from the Drifter. The character type is common in religion with reincarnation.

Will you ever make Seven Stranger 3? I think there're several class missing from the game. Such missing class inculde.

● The Psychic: Those gifted with the power to incredible power coming from the psyche, using it to influence both the physical and the spiritual.

● Reason for the class:  It's a common archetype in pulp fiction, and in supernatural media that is still human. The art shown on page 69, a person is using psychokinesis on multiple knives. The Academic enigma number 1, detailing a psychic who can actually talk with spirit.

● The Thaumaturgist: Those who studied occult and esoteric texts, learning a few trick on how to manipulate the natural force of the universe.

● Reason for the class: It's a common character type you see in call of cthulhu and other more classical work of horror. It's a more benigh dabbler of supernatural than those of the Accursed or the Complicit. More way for player to have supernatural power that aren't spell. It's a playable Fascinated Occultist.

● The Explorer: Those seeking renowned, glory and fortune, by seeking out mythical beasts, rumor treasures, and lost cities, in the most dangerous and exotic of environment.

● Reason for the class: The Explorer is a classic pulp archetype that haven't been fully explore in Cthork Borg. Add more interaction to artifacts and expedition investigation. Add interesting plot hook to get the investigators out of the city and into the wilderness.

● The Martial Artist: Those who train their body, mind, and soul to withstand incredible amount of suffering, using ancient technique to take down modern enemies.

● Reason for the class: The Martial Aritst focus on traditional weaponry in way no other class have. They add more interaction to combat system and maneuver. Add bonus to using non-firearm such as bow, staff, and unarmed.
