Hmmm... I didn't catch that but I believe that's correct.

Oh he hasn't threatened to quit. It's more like I'm expecting him to. He's "expressed
his frustration" at my unwillingness to give in. We exchanged about 4 emails
over 2 day earlier this week with my messages being "stick to +/-6 on
edges/flaws"
and his being "Ok, I'm down to X now and that's just Y over 6 and I think I'm
being very reasonable here so you should just give it to me."

Last night after typing his character in and noting a few numbers flaws I pointed
this out and got a reply that read as very exasperated (sp?).

I may try the suggestion of redesigning his character for him and showing my
design. I think I know what 'kind' of person he wants to play. And I honestly
believe there's a non-munchkin concept in there that he just doesn't know how
to de-munchkinize after years of playing a game where-in power is everything
(AD&D) to the average group that plays it.

If he was trying to be a pure munchkin he would have realized how crippling
the Int score will be on some of his magic attempts and how badly the Cha will
hurt his contacts. Maybe. I'm being hopeful here. :)

Looks like I've got a lot of work before tonight's game (in 3 hours). :) And
I still have to do the stats of the 'evil blood cult initiate and his minions
followers'. :)
