Alright, I admit that I have a lot of EMails yet to read tonight, but I feel
that I have to defend FASA hear since I do work for a subsidiary. Your main
question is why are the Bully Decks causing problems, and the answer is of
course because that they are built around trolls that can kick everyone else's
hiney. This may not seem so fair until you look at the actual game. Humans
max stats in the game are 6, therefore in relative to the card game, their
stats would be 6/6. Trolls however gain a +5 Body and a +4 Strength, making
them 10/11 at max value. As you can see this makes the characters as you see
them make a lot more sense. Trolls are tougher in the game, therefore they
are just as much tougher in the TCG.
