Stone Bones is basically 1/encounter for me. I'd be more comfortable if I'd have been able to pick up both Toughness and Stone Power as originally planned- damn you, mandatory Skill Focus! Then again, Sapphire Nightmare Blade is pretty nasty in this system, and is made doubly so by a high Concentration skill- I'll just have to depend on it to kill before being killed.I'm getting more and more nervous about my concept choice and the mechanical tradeoffs involved with it in this kind of unforgiving environment, and am hoping that the choice of a stronger-than-average class for this low-fantasy E6 game will balance things out somewhat...as well as the intangible benefits like people underestimating the dude who's obviously both unarmed and unarmored, occasions coming up where the party is captured or has to store their weapons with the bouncer, and the like. I'll always be inferior to an armed, armored Warblade, of course- but dem's the breaks <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /> Probably ought to start planning my new character out now.</blockquote>
