Current Play: Portland Debacle

There is another option which I found in a number of the Dark City Games games - use underpowered opponents - pit your 32 pt characters against 28 pt or 30 pt characters. This allows them to learn the system while facing opponents with ST of 10 or 9, AdjDX of 9 or 8 and IQ of 8 which allows them to survive without being outclassed from the outset. Damage is less, number of times hit is less and talents are minimal. Just enough to give a serious challenge while they're learning the system.

Anyone who doesn't understand that a balanced system where you kill an opponent with one blow means that you can be killed with one blow either learns quickly or walks away to find a kindlier fantasy
