I actually think that idea of smaller circles was mine, at least the one
mentioned...I have to admit something...my third SR character, and the only
one of them actually still being played was an enchanter adept, and he did
ALL sorts of stuff for the rest of the party. He also came out the richest
and learned the nastier, sharper, deeper side of the magic.

As for the "concentric" or "interlocking" circle structeres...yeah,
thmost of
the circumstances that I am referring to are rules modifications used here in
the games I'm a part of...we've taken the rules from so many other guidelines
and notebooks, that I actually forget the whole list.
