target, therefore the test should be based upon GM discretion with only a
set of guidelines given.>>

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Mention of Damaging Manipulations
reminds me: the Grimmy says they've got to have Elemental effects
(actually, it just says that they 'always' have them, even so...), and
gives an explanation that is only a little more complicated than 'just
because' :) What I'm wondering is the exact reasoning behind this (other
than game balance). I would just like a basic reasoning behind why it is
that, btb, you cannot create a mana-based DM. Or one that is simply
physical.

Thanks Gossamer! <big thumbs-up to Gossamer>
<<AS for me well I've been in the states since 7/7/97, NYC and Chicago (

Yet another reason I would love to go to GenCon, I would love to be able
to meet some of you people:) But, alas, not this year (neither enough
cash, nor enough time, nor enough transportation :(
<<Till then fare thee well fine people!!!>>
Good luck, hope to be seeing you back on the list soon.
