How should I approach character selection for my first session?

You should experiment with different characters, as they feature radically different abilities and playstyles. Consider choosing a specialist in healing, speed, or crowd control to see which strategy best transforms the rules of your run.

What is a significant risk I should be aware of during gameplay?
