I believe that Solo Battle should be used when a player willfully makes
the choice to seperate him/herself from the party, but not in the normal
course of battle and such (as we encountered at our last session with
Azariah and the large Goblin). Actually, I would like to see the SB
made lower to help penalize those who willfully choose to go solo.I know that Dick designed SB to be yet another strong together, weak
apart illustration. I think making SB larger would defeat that.Keep the normal weapon value for when a player accidentally gets
seperated. That would make it a lot simpler and smoother to run.David
