Maybe because nowadays we've got night ones that get +2 initiative and
thus +1 Reaction. Back when this character was made, elves had the best
Quickness so that was the natural choice for a character geared totally
toward speed. We rolled dice (they rolled rather poorly, I might add) and
discovered he did the 100 meters in 4.something seconds by SRII rules...

You know, I think you might be right... I don't remember much more than
that, though :/

Yes, you are right on this one. I didn't look anything up, so it's an easy
mistake to make. Rule #1 of maxing out characters: look up _everything_ to
make sure it's all compatible :)
