I allow Edges & Flaws, in fact, one of my player is a
troll minotaur with Toughness, bone lacing titanium
and dermal armor. His nickname is "Tank", he has
Unarmed Combat (Boxing) : 5 (7), but I (the GM) kicked
his ass legit with a simple human mage Thai Kickboxer
(7) toying with him with Stunball, Death Touch,
Manaball and Increased Reflexes +2.
He may have 15 Body, 12 Strength but the little troll
only got 3 Willpower!
So he now learn a valuable lesson (for once!), he
can't munchkin a ressourceful GM.
