Either you charge in fast, or you charge into a perfect trap with everyone pre-buffed for your convenience. Your choice, guys.

"Why, your best friend...and mine...Billy the Stablehand told me. He SO wanted to make sure I got you the perfect present for your birthday! Pity it's your LAST! Bwahaahha!")Yes, my villains say "Bwahaahah!". In one game, it was faxed.Of course, none of this is particularly relevant to the thread. But you asked...</blockquote>
