That's a truely evil scheme. Congrats.

What, like shoot them with stun rounds then stim patch them? Huhn? Isn't
that kinda silly? I can see it'd stuff up their magicians maybe, but
wouldn't it be a pretty slow and unreliable process? It would be a lot worse
to happen to PC magicians though, I can see what you mean by the
"<shudder>", but there's got to be better tactics (after all, if the bad
guys are slapping stim patches on your teams magician in the middle of
combat, they'd better be slapping them at a prodigous rate in order to be
anywhere effective. After capture OTOH... <evil GM grin>.)
