I posted this over on BGG but I havn't been getting any luck with responses and we were going to play tomorrow.

Why would a player who is playing as a monster ever use "slash"? My gaming group can usually be considered competative and I dont really see why a player would give someone else the easy out of possibly doing 2 damage to them (monster) with a "quick shot".

Thanks for any insight. We have been using the dice variant and love the game so far. Perfect beer and laughs game. I would prefer to change over to this variant however to keep it more like the original.
