[Runequest] Advice Sought re Damage & HP

[Joe Mills]

Just start the combat out as not too deadly. Have some fist-fights, brawls,
encounters with Healing Halls close at hand, that sort of thing -- until the
players fully realize how quickly things can go south. Then give them a free
hand.

My two cents!

Request:
   But I'd like to know how other RuneQuesters deal with horrid menace of
melee.  Do you make sure that PC's always start with some decent armor?
 Start with high shield & weapon parry skills?  Both?  Is there another
approach?  Start with two or three characters?  What do you do?

   Wisdom, advice, insights, relevant experiences, old war stories -- all
feedback is welcome.  Many thanks ahead of time.
   Sincerely,
Asher
