[QUOTE="seasong, post: 1185029, member: 5137"] Naw, you know me better than to think I've made some unbreakable decision. But I could probably explain my point of view better. The animals are not as dangerous as cohorts have the potential to be. But they are MORE dangerous, in my opinion, than some of the cohorts in the arena. To use an example close to home, Mang was a throwaway method for getting a few extra spells in the arena and some magic items... as a threat, he wasn't. Master still got the points for him, though. And given the money, spells and class levels that DMwav devoted to acquiring them (comparable to a feat and some CHA), I don't think that's terribly unfair. The "average player" is a statistical metric. The situation is neither so complex that our poor brains need it, nor so simple that a metric can be truthful. YOU have a handicap of 86 points, and you are a steady earner; Xiao Fung is ahead, but has failed to earn anything for several rounds. Just examining the question of the difference ignores that. -seasong [/QUOTE]
