Is he considered to have 1DP or 5DP? For non-attack purposes? We figured it was 1 for role playing reasons, but other * weapons give the printed bonus... A cool combo I discovered: Fea Terranoz (Unkillable Bag Lady) with a Psychic Time Bomb. 3 AP character who goes snap, crackle, pop, but never leaves play (until Dead, Dead, Dead pops up...) =-=-=-= Trevor Stone =-=-= aka Flwyd =-=-= tstone @ robin . ml . org =-=-=-= Eclectic philosopher, New Vista computer admin, gamer, witster, esotericist http://robin.ml.org/~tstone/ Thou haughty weak-hinged moldwarp!
