In our game, we have a house rule that the default AP bid (the bid if you forget to state how many APs you are bidding) is one seventh your initial AP total, rather than the 3 APs stated in HW:RiG. We also tend to adjust our bids to this benchmark. Our extended contests therefore rarely drag on, even as our characters have grown in abilities and followers.             Received on Tue 06 Nov 2001 - 07:51:18 EET
