This scale bug is a primary reason why I hesitate to select luck scales. Almost every time I do, I end up with catastrophic luck in turn 2. While it may work itself out eventually, by the time it does I have usually suffered from multiple calamities (plague, lab burning down, earthquake, barbarian hordes, etc.). Very hard to recover from in the early game.

I find that the random appearance of misfortune 3 scales is much less likely if I leave the luck scales alone during setup. Luck shmuck.
