So Warbear is 8, Heroic brew is double what the Hero is attacking with, etc. But that's not how Avalon Hill interprets those rules, so how would they regard them in the Tournament Arena?

Someone should ask Doug @WanderingMonster on Avalon Hill discord to see what he says.

Well, actually AH already stated how they wanted the double attack rule to be played, they already defined it in the Rogues rules.

So a Polar Warbear has a power of 4, not 8.

To mark the Polar Warbear as the same strength as a Dread Warrior is uneven. An even bigger contrast would be an Orc and Yeti. This is quite uneven.
I made up a comparitive points system to even out teams, taking into account not only attack dice, but defence, body and mind points, movement, spells, etc. The only issue is that the standard hero is around 14 points so tallying up groups may require a calculator.

Feels like they didn't really think too hard about characters outside the Game System/ATOH combo on this... but they knew we'd tinker with it on our own!
