A question: was character generation tweaked in 0.99E.3 to give your starting gals generally lower Bravery? It's just a subjective feeing, but in my last few game starts Bravery was generally around 60-70, with maybe a few 80s. Now I've just started a few games, first out of curiosity then out of frustration, and it feels like you're almost guaranteed to have one to three gals start with 30 and one or two 50.
Since training Bravery without exploits (lingering around in rags with only one enemy left) is really a bit of a bitch, it's kind of annoying.
