    I think that’s by design, honestly. DW (and all Powered by the Apocalypse games) are effectively just creative storytelling rules with the occasional die roll. You can (and often do) go whole sessions and roll only a couple of times. Its combat rules are virtually non-existent, and it doesn’t even have turns, so balance is not only not a concern, but probably impossible. That’s because the players will win or lose not by dice rolls, but by where the fiction takes them. If you like a lot of crunchy stats and rules, PbtA is probably not the path you want to go down.
