Nifft, WTF? By your own calculations, Fighter beats Wolf in AC, to-hit and damage, and is -1 in hp. And for melee-types everything else is really a far distant second, and you must know this. Are we there yet?

Most of the scenarios have you: take a special tile and shuffle it into a very small pile, say with 3 others; put 8 randomly selected tiles on top of that small pile; then put all the remaining tiles under the small pile.

If they signed a contract, then there might be some surprise (shouldn't be if they are students of history) but they still get paid. Otherwise, they are just like the rest of us. I'm not saying it ain't a cryin' shame...

Oh, hell: Girls (and presumably, boys) just wanna have fun.

They don't have to. This isn't the Supreme Court.

I salute you, sir. My goal in life is to get spanked with a single: !

I'll second that emotion -- I lol'ed but you did kinda lose it there for a moment.

Consider yourself sued. In other news, Captain Commando decided to go solo. Oh Captain, my Captain!
