[DF] 125 pt start?

I've had good results recently with a DF-esque game that started at 150+25+5. The PCs are now ~250 pts, and everyone seems to have had a pretty good time getting there.

I think a larger party has an easier time with lower starting points, we had 3 players each running 2 PCs. I would advocate at least 4-5 PCs. This allows for more specialization, and helps prevent TPK if someone falls down. If you're not running multiple PCs per player, then it's probably smart to have an NPC (with character sheet) you can hand off to any player whose PC dies, as a temporary replacement so they have something to do.
