New to the game and prepping my first session here (4 players + me, all RPG and wrestling fans). I have some questions, mostly regarding NPWs, which is something I can’t seem to wrap my head around.
1: If NPWs don’t make rolls, do they ever botch or are they “perfect” wrestlers? I know Creative ultimately has control but it seems weird to intentionally railroad your own plans.
2: How realistic is it to make up character sheets for each NPW and have them played (by a player who isn’t in the ring, much like the Announcer) as Talent (tracking stats, momentum, etc) for Talent vs. NPW matches? To me this seems like it would make the show feel more “alive” and allow NPWs to develop in terms of who the champ is, or who has heat with who, etc, which gives Talent more options for interaction with the larger world.
3: How does Heat work with NPWs if it’s not tracked? For example if a player is feuding with an NPW, are they at a disadvantage compared to PvP feuds that can hit the “+4 Heat with each other gains 1 Audience” mark at the end of a match?
