At the risk of having more "Special Rule Alarms" go off..., and noting that it *is* only a draft and therefore possibly a moot point...
What I can think of off the top of my head (and I've been up since Coyoteepalooza at 4am, so not necessarily firing on all cylinders...)
Different Resistance - AP loans have a resistance specified by the # of AP you are loaning, FA is based on your negative AP.
Different outcome - An AP loan will not give you a "hurt" or drop you down a
level of damage (unless you were trying to loan yourself more AP than you
have, I suppose). Note that the "breakpoints" for what level of
victory/defeat is needed to attain a specific effect remain the same in the
two charts:
Complete Victory
Minor/Major Victory
Marginal V/D & Ties
Minor/Major Defeat
Complete Defeat
You can only attempt FA once after going to negative AP. AP loaning can take place as long as the Loaner has AP.
