Two things:

1) Bob, could you perhaps post the relevant bits of your
sammie that would have `eaten up' both Phys Ads together?
That would give some firm basis for comparison, for the
disbelievers.

2) I'd say a Troll skilled with a long-reach weapon would be
able to beat any other `archetype' in hand to hand, because
of the enormous weight of the SR reach rules.

Sigh. I've now exceeded my posting limit for the next three
days. Back to trying to lurk ...

Done.. see my post to Damian.

Yep, bigtime advantage. The troll also has a whopping advantage in combat
pool over the phys ads (don't think I mentioned that in the other post) and
karma pools were about equal.
