Do you guys think this is too complicated, or about right? The game is for ages 12 and up.

I asked a similar question elsewhere. I am sick of toiling over making an advanced RPG, every time I think I've got it balanced right, I discover another problem with it. I want to make something simple that anyone can understand and enjoy, which only has a few pages worth of rules.
