I don't know about that... I remember starting a
session last year (using Daughters of Darkness, if you
must know) where the first encounter, only several
minutes into play, was an ambush. Hit the lead dark
troll with an critical in the head from a heavy
crossbow and rolled maximum damage....

We decided to fudge that one...

**************************************

I started one campaign that specialized in bar-room brawls (the PCs were
bouncers) mostly because you could get into a little fight without having to
risk losing your character. Then, whenever a bad guy actually drew a knife
or some such, it was a big deal. Worked out pretty well.
