I had thought that there wasn't really much point in spending more than 4 points on an action, but perhaps I'm confused about the way fudge points work. (It might be that it makes the most sense to spend them in multiples of 4 . . .) As for the 8 fp/turn limit, I think it's a question of game balancing--in fact, the 4 fp/action limit is also a game balance question. How easy do we want to make it to achieve successes of Suberb (+3), Legendary (+4) or more? I disagree that limiting fudge point expenditures per turn would favor low participation. I certainly wouldn't reduce my contributions, anyway. My opinion on this might also relate to the way I tend to spend fudge points: only one or two per action per turn--although I've spent 8 this turn. From what I've seen, you tend store up your fp's, and then spend them all at once, but that's just my impression.
