(If any of this was already covered, I'm sorry. The local has been doing
wonderous things and I've had a lot of reading to get done...) Sigh

Anyhow: ON skills: (I hear a collective sigh)

We once had a mage default from MAGICAL THEORY to STEALTH. He rolled upwards
of 37 on that one. It was a fun explanation:

"Remember when you stole your teachers spell book and hid in the dumpster for
an hour? You just remembered it all..."

He did it just to show that he could.

On Munchkining: (Something that was never formally brought up, but it's
always there...)

I had an idea, (Frightening, neh?) about the ultimate trick shooter...

Cybereye, optical mag 3, display link
Math SPU 4, Softlink 4 (With Geometry 6, Physics 6, Metalurgy 6, and firearms
B/R of 6)
And a Smartgun link.

Working in concert (With an encephalon, natch.) you could careen bullets off
of walls and HIT A GUY!

(The scene, a deserted street in Seattle. "Ok, yellerbelly. I'ma gonna shoot
a bullet offan that church bell, into the bar there, knock the cap off'n that
drink, then the bullet's gonna cut yer mohawk off'n that head of yours."
>BANG< [GONG] /crash\tink/ ker-pow! )

Or not.

What do you think, sirs?
