However, as I thought about it more, I thought, "This is like in an action movie where the good guy gets knocked down, is a little woozy but picks himself back up and shakes it off." Looking at it from that perspective, I think they improved it over the playtest, because it fits even better with how the action would work in a story.As for your experience points Thaumaturge, we all must aspire to exceed our original hopes and dreams and press on.  You will be level 10 soon...</blockquote>
