> But come on. "People like these" are playing the game by the rules, and they're playing the best game possible, which is, after all, the point. If it's upsetting to lose to someone who outplayed you, there's an easy answer: Don't play.

My opponent in the first round against real people hadn't played for several days. Consequently he had four unallocated points for each character. That is very difficult to plan against as he could have loaded his attack or his defence. (As it was, he didn't turn up, so I had an easy win. But I did have to waste some money catering for all eventualities.) I would like to see a maximum of one unallocated point per character. If you don't use them, you lose them.

I know it would slow the game down, but I'd like to see the battles in the latter stages split over two days. On the first day you commit yourself to weapons and armour, as now. On the second day you set your strategy, knowing how the enemy is equipped. No surprises when the Death Bringer turns up with the unexpected opponent.
