I have a suggestion that I think would work... but you aren't going to like it.
If one would make the _offencive_ edges as multipliers, that would encourage players to bid high to gain most of them.
If for instance using a sword would get one a 1,5 multiplier to the AP
one bid's it would better reflect the fact that a human with a sword is
a more dangerous creature than one without. As the system stands one can
pretty much negate the effects of the equipment edge by bidding
suffisciently high.
The defencive edges could remain as they are, or be changed into a
divider. Reducing the AP loss by one quarter, or parhaps even half.
Well... as I said you won't like it. Too much math. But it would work.
