Okay, okay, I blew that part of it :( It was someone else's idea about 9
months ago and I couldn't remember all of the specifics.

| All in all a evil idea but not very practical and an karmahole without end.

It's an EGM idea. Make a villian that feels that the karma is worth
the cost. If nothing else it would make a great death trap. Capture
the characters, tie them up, have the villian put the grenade on the
floor next to them and tell them with great detail how they are going
to die in five minutes :)
