That's exactly what happened in my last GURPS campaign. New characters ended up being infinately superior to old ones. Of course, it was a fairly lethal campaign, so anyone who wanted a new character had a pretty good shot at it...

I like your definition of what makes a game combat-based. How many of us here can say in good faith that we haven't given the old bait-and-switch speech? Nice column, as always.

Yeah, what he said.

Damn, we give the "Bait and Switch" speech without even realizing that's what we're doing!!!

I'd at least like to think that we were seriouse the few times I helped give the bait and switch speech.
Really we weren't aiming for agame so filled with violence..... ;)
