Actually its about the same as the last game now. Last game there were only 10 rounds (and only went to 9 iirc). We're already at Day 7.
I think that's because last game there were a lot of potions which would give "+ 5 feet", a static gain. At smaller heights they're much more powerful. So even tho someone would get shrunk, they'd bounce back quickly if getting those.
This game all the height increases are percentage-based, so it took some time in the beginning for the players to build up some height for the %'s to be really effective.
If Lore gets really, really lucky she can hit 50' next turn. But the game wont end, she'll also have to reach the exit. And who knows what kinda folks might be waitin for her near there brandishing weapons
