When starting a game, often the player starts out with an extremely powerful party, character, weapon or ability, which can easily slaughter anything it comes across, playing through a short battle or dungeon. The player is in no real danger of losing at this point, but this incredible power never lasts long. Once the introductory segment is complete, the player switches to the real party, usually at level 1 with basic starter gear. Frequently used in RTS games to allow the player to be given a tutorial of all the game elements in one sitting. Also known as "Abilitease" on the Giant Bomb wiki.
