Posted - 26 May 2012 : 00:41:16 Forgive me if this is answered in some way in the book, I don't have it with me at the moment. But how would you suggest to balance forces in a scenario you're making up yourself?
I know it's suggested to have the players play both sides of a scenario for fairness, but sometimes that's not possible, & you still want the game to be fun for both sides.
I really like the idea of a Border Reivers raid gone wrong that Paul posted a number of months ago. & in that case, the raiders' target village probably wouldn't have any Blinders to protect them, making the game mostly human vs supernatural forces.
So how many trained humans would equate to a a Nochtlinger or a Werewolf? How many angry villagers would equal a trained trooper?
Just looking for some general ideas so one side doesn't have a significantly unfair advantage.
Thanks

The other way of balancing a scenario other than adjusting the forces, is to adjust the victory conditions. That way a weak force with an easy objective can be balanced against a strong one with a difficult objective.
