Karma point ranges. The trouble with physads is that, like all
magic-users, they eat up karma faster than Krunchers
(Mmmm...jalepeno), so I can see most of that karma going straight to
powers. In fact, I sorta just gave up on asking and gave him 300
karma outright. Hell, the character's truning out to be so
interesting I might just write some fiction on him (it's been a
while...).

As far suggestions, does anyone know what counterstrike and enhanced
centering do? Can edged weapon combat be used as a centering skill?
