"I think it would be imprudent to change the rate of FP regen or without first reinstituting buffers."

The rate wouldn't change, except a little for each player 3 stats/9 would give basically the same as 1 stat/3.

"Charon's view of what the stages of consumption meant were always my own, but looking at Minstrel's post I think we may need to look at those too."

Having to eat/drink every 5-10 RL minutes to keep at full regen seems a bit odd to me, by the way.
