I'm gearing up to run my first IN game soon. In researching some of the pitfalls others have run across, I noticed that many players say that the d666 mechanic doesn't "scale well" for mortals to be good at much. I don't think Bob the Bouncer should be able to win a wrestling match against a Malakite of Stone, but I would like a system where a cop can fight and a scholar can research successfully without GM fudging. What say you, experienced IN players and GMs?
