[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6844916, member: 5834"] That would be a helpful app. I just love intense debate, a little too much for many tastes. I never dislike anyone or hold any grudges against the people I'm in discussions with. I always enjoyed your tactical viewpoint, though I still want to use the necromancer idea in some campaign where it would be role-play appropriate. The idea of skeleton squad following me about is amusing. I enjoy seeing the different way people do things.
