You forgot Mountain! A troll sam with max physical stats, and pretty much
minor mental....1 Intelligence...scary thought!

GM: I'll roll to see if Mountain knows you are joking...
PLAYER: Why did you pick up one dice...
GM: Oops...take a 19D stun....Mountain isn't amused
PLAYER: Can I use a karma pool to reroll his Intelligence?

Mountain is really cool...if you are his friend....but when he says "Can
I 'crash' on your couch...he means it! >

Hamish, the 'Mountain's best buddy' Scot
