"Feeding" rule

[Russ]

I had this same idea, but more for thematic reasons rather than balance reasons. I think a lot of people find the Zombies too powerful when they are fist playing the game. I know I did, and so I created a bunch of custom characters that were more powerful to "balance it out." After we had played several games though, those slightly overpowered characters started dominating the game. Once everyone knows what they are doing, the game balances out pretty well.

I do like the idea of including the rule via the 'dot' system. Seems to me it might be worth more than just one dot, but kinda hard to say without playing around with it a while.
