Second that. In my last long running campeign the groups munchkin
(there's alaways one) was obssessed with the apparent advantegs of
multaple foci. As a dirrect result he went through three mages in as
many adventures leaving nothing but serries of freshly cooked corpses
and a hefty amount of colateral dammage to mark his pressence. The
other players eventualy forced him to play a decker (which they
figured was saffer).
