] For one thing the swords are not bonded. The only thing they do
] is allow me to attack spirits using my armed combat skill rather than my
] willpower. Considering the number of insect spirits and toxic spirits, and
] let us not forget the toxic insect totems the GM's throw at us this is not
] a great boon to the character. The do not act at all like weapon foci except
] in that respect. So my character uses his Karma to build on to one skill.
] My Sword skill is a 10 my armed combat is only a 5. My combat pool allows me
] to throw 20 dice at once because it is an eleven. It's not like I have ever
] used any of my combat pool for attack I save it for defense.
] Heaven forbid we bring up a certain magically active sasquachian
] wolf shaman with a +4 combat focus that probably gives him similar attacks.
] Not to mention having a reach of 3.
] How about the vampiric mage in the same party with him that has
] enough karma in him to kill a snake. He has never had an essence below a
] 10 that I have ever seen.
Enough karma to kill a snake???
] Enough said?

Nothing more needs to be said to convince me yer talking about
a serious Munchkin game. You get the Olympic Gold Medal in
Munchkinism...

P.S. Sorry this was too close to a munchkin campaign I was in. We spent
our every waking moment fighting the evil avatar of Spider named
Lolthe (think thats it, ya know that AD&D spider bitch). We had our
Bandersnatch essence adept (he too was a sasquatch) and our vampiric
mage (only grade 10) and yours truly played a Grade 22 Physical
Adept Were-tiger who was given shaman adept status by Tiger so that
he could better combat Spider's minions. Seriously, get the hell
away from this crap- the game is great without this stupid shit.
