I appreciate the concern, and am very favorably impressed that you have it and shared it, but I learned this lesson during my second year of gaming (2003). And then Iron Heroes came out and I haven't been wrong-headed about it since. That "if" in there isn't just for appearances.

Fair enough. But the oddity has always made me wonder what he's supposed to connect into. And I am beginning to suspect that it might be psionics (which fits the whole Gith- monk / psions thing).

Channeled spells are freaking cool. Being able to
fireball a vampire by stabbing him with your sword is just fun, and only allowing the guy that was stabbed to feel the spell has been relatively balanced in my experience.

I hadn't noticed that part yet. Very interesting.
Thank you for the replies, the hard work, and the forthcoming character sheet. I'm very excited.
