A suggestion, don't judge so quickly a collection of ideas. Tobias, some of
the players in the "main group" (the ones that are inside the pyramid's room)
know that I am capable of pulling what may seem like one thing and is actually
something else veyr often and very effectively. I learned, with another
character (Shivowtnoeh, my first SR one), that belief can define one's reality
IF that person doesn't know what they are seeing in the first place.

As for Binder having as much magical defenses as Harley, that I doubt. Harley
can survive being directly mauled by a gaggle (multiple of "Horde"
;)...Binder can't...

I'm not judging quickly. How the hell should you know what I roll when you
don't see me doing it? ;)

You needed RPGs for that? Try a couple of drunken folks. Much more
impressive in the result, actually. :)

Oh well, to me, that makes no difference (I'm not Dschingis Khan (or
whatever he's spelled in English)). To me, the only way to kill him is a
truckload of C-12 :).

Tobias Berghoff a.k.a Zixx a.k.a. Charon, your friendly werepanther physad.

Thank you, both of you counting reply #2 elsewhere (Squid?)....I enunciate in
a direct phonetics idiom personally, and didn't make the "dsch" the same as
Tobias did/does. To me it sounded a LOT different when I read it.

Kind of comically actually, makes me think of Linguasofts and the problem's
they would have in the world of SR...can't imagine Damascus....
