OK. OK. I asked for it. Although I underestimated the Flamage Power.
[Bows head, lets tear streak down flame scarred cheek.]

But let me respond to some of these flames.

Well of course it isn't. It's knowing where the gun is pointing. I
am saying the PA knows instinctly (reason for most of their poweres)
where the gun is pointing. NO, WAIT. I know someone would immediatly
reply what the extra die of firearms is for, so I will just mention it
myself :) But I am saying it is a differnt way of improving gun skill.
I am no saying it's better or worse. When I said it gave -2 to the t#,
I was saying it was LIKE smartlink, not that it is smartlink.

Really? What about Sorcery Adepts?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. It's only ok if the PA specializes in
stealth and unarmed combat? The PA would have to spend some of his stating
skills on sorcery to get this benefit. But I agree, it does sound kind
of ludicrous. But I wanted second opinions.

I have to say I am greatly offended by this. I really don't think this was
neccessary. I must defend my honor. If you noticed in my posting I
mentioned my players. Meaning I am the GM. Why would I create munchkins
in my own campaign? I was trying to balance things out a little.
Like Damion pointed out (and who had CONSTRUCTIVE criticism), some campaigns
have different disadvantages and thus need different house rules. So I
heard others with the same problems and offered my suggestions.
