Yes, complete sets and partials, there will be as many facets as we can come up
with (feel free to post ideas) and there will be 3 types of facets, good ones,
balanced ones (with good aspects and negative ones) and negative ones. Sets
will probably require you take at least one partially negative feature

Will you have complete sets as well? Kinda like Diablo2?
How many facets will there be? As many as we can think up?
Will there be bad facets that link into good sets?
