Yes, we are (or should be). I will have to remind the group to do so. I have been giving out 3 each session, but we have 5 players, and 15 bennies seems excessive. |
It wouldn't be excessive if you're hitting them with several hard fights.
I've found Savage Worlds to be pretty brutal. Incap rolls in particular are pretty messy. I ran a little app to calculate the results for various vigor dice:
| Code: |
d4: Percentages: Okay: 27.1, Bleeding Out: 22.88, Dead: 50
d6: Percentages: Okay: 30.57, Bleeding Out: 24.97, Dead: 44.45
d8: Percentages: Okay: 37.52, Bleeding Out: 29.14, Dead: 33.33
d10: Percentages: Okay: 50, Bleeding Out: 23.31, Dead: 26.67

The -3 wound penalty on the vigor check is just brutal. On a d6 vigor your players should have a less than 1 in 3 chance of being okay. That's not counting using bennies, obviously.
In my last game after several months I think I only saw 2 incap rolls not counting the final night which was a total party wipeout. In my friend's current game he's limiting mooks to being only able to inflict 2 wounds because we found the existing damage in the game to be pretty nasty. |

| Thank you for everyone's input. I had a good talk with my group, and was happily surprised that we were on the same page. We did talk about what they could do better as a group, and what I could do better as a GM. |

Incap is the one rule I still use from SWEX since the new rules are so much more lethal. I may use the new ones for Suzerain since I want characters to die in that since they get better. And Cthulhu, since they don't. Thy're fine in settings where the heroes don't die, I guess, like pulp and supers.
