Hi Vincent,
This is John from Dreamation (thanks for running for us, you rock!). We playtested this method last night and a minor issue arose.
We had a few conflicts where neither side wanted to escalate although came close a few times. Both sides were talking but for in game political reasons, escalating would have been disastrous (but fun!). The players had a huge advantage using the new NPC rules because they could creatively add in their traits for additional dice without escalating. While the NPC could only add trait dice by escalating. Using the old rules, all of the NPCs trait dice would be available, even without escalation.
Would it be reasonable, using the new rules, to use trait dice from future escalation? And by doing so, making these trait dice no longer available if you do indeed escalate?
Thanks so much,
John
