MUNCHKIN ALERT! (Ok, so I'm overreacting!) Imagine for a moment someone
with an RC car with a fiber optic cable rig (with 200m of "line") This guy
can whip the car around corners and blast security.

Or worse (to draw fire from the rigger crowd...) what if a rigger made an
RC drone, a small car if you will. And they worked in conjunction with the
mage. >>>Whoomp<<< Keep in mind this has been my thinking cause I've
got
my local gamers to keep ahead of. I'm just happy they're not on this
listserve sometimes, they have enough 'ideas'... (JOKE!!!! JOKE!!!)
