[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 330293, member: 1279"] Re the cross-class skills thing . . . I dont' know how to add this to the system in a sensible way, but it is a fact that using the system as-is, it's not very difficult at all to make a Tank that has exceptional mobility (i.e., speed), which doesn't quite tie into the image we have of tanks like the Hulk, the Thing, and so on.
