@niara, Yes Karmic dice was turned off, but i am actually in favor of slightly fudging the numbers in favor of the Player. i mean i want to have a fun fight but i don't want to almost be killed by a create thats half my level. that makes it feel like my characters are under powered. I honestly think a 1-3 point favor of the player and 1-3 point disfavor of the NPCs may be enough to keep the game within "oh shit i might die" feel without completely undermining the feeling of strength and competency; that dopamine drip we all crave.
