Revised Pay Out Draft

Here's a draft of a revision of how to handle the Pay Out.   I would remove the permanent henchmen from the Blue Deck and replace it with draws from the 2 henchmen decks we're working on.   The news story results/city goes wild never meant much so they'd be gone.   The Kill Jar effects become less predicable.

SECTION 3:  THE PAY-OUT--REVISED

• When the GM designs the adventure, he should have set up 3 possible results:  Extraordinary Success, Success or Failure.    An Extraordinary Success will be counted as a Level 9 result;  A Success  will count as a level 6 result, and a Failure will count as a Level 4 result.
• For each chip in the Kill Jar at the end of the session, the GM rolls 1d6.   If the result is a 6, then the Level of the Pay-Out is reduced by 1.

Level	XP	Gear Cards	Blue Cards	Henchmen
9	3	3 per PC	3	+2
8	3	2 per PC	2	+1
7	2	2 per PC	2	+1
6	2	2 per PC	2	+1
5	2	1 per PC	1	0
4	1	1 Per PC	1	0
3	1	0	0	-1
2	0	0	0	-1
1	0	0	0	-2

Henchmen draws:  +1 represents choice of either 1 specialist or 2 soldiers.  +2 represents either 2 specialists or 4 soldiers, 0 represents no change, -1 or -2 indicates either 1 or 2 random henchmen quit/desert/disappear.
