DFRPG / DFRPG - Power creep and imbalance
« on: September 06, 2020, 04:12:51 PM »
Dear fellow FateRPG lovers,

I've been playing Dresden Files Fate for a while now. I think it's been 9 years. Usually the same characters, still the same troupe (yay!).

Now, our characters prefers the DFRPG rules to those set in the DF Accelerated book. But from 16-18 refresh, we found the system kinda ... broke. Kinda over-the-top imba.

Wizards, while more powerful than the rest of the character archetypes, get a ridiculous amount of options and damage, while non of the other scale with them. E.g.: White Court Vampires stop being able to buy additional damage at - I think - +4 mental, while Wizards can easily rake up 12+ on their roll plus 12 additional weapon's damage, adding up to 24. (And, yes, I do know that Fate is not all about damage, but DF is a pulpy, combat-friendly universe.)

Has any of you gentle readers encountered this problem? If yes - how did you fix it? Is there a DFRPG 2.0 floating around addressing issues like this, even if unofficial?

And please refrain from comments like "you're powergaming!" and "use DF accelerated, stupid!".

Thanks in advance!

Lena
