[QUOTE="Emmetation, post: 8690086, member: 7019607"] Oh and also to clarify, you can't play as Daleks and Cybermen, that's just wording that is a little wonky. Enemies and encounters use Plot Points instead of hit points, but we've included them in the enemy statblocks so that folks who want to use them out of the gate can do just that. Plot Points for enemies actually represent the hit points of an entire encounter and are reduced through Quips, talking, interacting with the environment, and clever thinking (also punching, but resorting to violence has negative ramifications for the whole group). Plot Points aren't just all the enemy HP added together, but more of the HP of the encounter. We have a detailed section on how to build encounters, but it essentially means you can throw dozens of Daleks at your group, but the party don't have to trudge through reducing all their HP. It also means you can use any enemy at any level. So you don't need to be level 10 to face a Dalek. The team have made a really cool system I have to say. As was mentioned elsewhere, I can see the Quips and encounter level system being lifted and ported over to folks other games [/QUOTE]
