Thanks.  That I like - though I might go with 1x, 3x, 3x and I don't draw a 
chip.

Maybe - but a reroll is, I think, too powerful for a white chip - since the 
players would only use it after they've already failed.

Too much - that's 10-30% of each level requirement.  These guys aren't 
going to handle not getting "real" ep, so I have to hand out the standard 
awards.  I intend to use the fate chips as a sweetener.

 >maybe a legend could let you use a feat you didn't have?

That might be for blues. . . legends I tend to pull out all the stops 
for.  :-)
