    I have the exact same question, want to play "Core Rules" also.

    If you're asking about the "core rules" difficulty setting from other EEs, there is no direct equivalent in PST:EE, due to Planescape handling difficulty in a completely different way from other games.

    If you're asking about what Core rules are in BG:EE, - above Normal, with random HP rolls and 100% damage, then the closest equivalent in PST:EE would be to set the difficulty to 3 or 4, and make sure that "Max HP on Level up" is not turned on.

    Thanks Julius, gonna try setting to 4 and see how it goes.

    I never liked max hp at level-up anyway. 4 definitely seems a lot better than 3. I wasn't dying once on 3 at like 3rd level mage, walking around the Hive and getting jumped by thugs.

    I'm curious too, what the exact numbers are, behind those difficulties. I know PS:T is not a game about combat but still, I'd like not know.

    Can we get a dev to look it up? I assume it's simple % based so it should be pretty easy :)

    How does it handle difficulty? And is it one of the enhancements?

    Still... the game is more combat oriented than Torment: Tides of Numenera, at least so far anyway...

    Oh, yeah, completely agree. That's why I think it makes sense to specify the numbers :)
    Fired up BGII: EE and the difficulty slider also has 5 levels.
    3 is core rules, 4 is +50% dmg and 5 is double the dmg. Would assume they kept the same for PS:T but would like confirmation anyway.
