Re: [DL] Adventure/Story design question

Pretty much all my posse spends chips on is reducing damage.  The main thing
I forget to do is use my chips to increase my characters rolls, I suspect
that will make it harder on them.  3 or 4 pts of chips seems like quite a
few when we play.  As an average, each character spends 1-2 chips/battle
avoiding damage.  Now usually any individual battle sees one character spend
3-4 pts at least to stay healthy, but most of the rest don't need to spend
any, or just one.  The last session they fought with a rattler, that ate up
some chips.
