Okay, i will rephrase: "Why a non-megalomaniac and totaly sane NPC with an intel of 9
is doing running in the shadows?"
Happy? :)

My problem is not about giving it to the players, it's about keeping the "Amazement
Factor" present in the game. If the players receive the Mill-Spec equipment and the
high stats at the begining of the game, how can i motivate them of becoming better? If
they reached the big stat from a lower level, not only it will give them a sense of
achivement but it will give them also a legent that will tag them along. Once again, all
is in the roleplaying ang a long-lasting game.
