Also other more powerful npc's would see the potential of such a powerfull and green goup and may try to exploit them.All I know is it is really fun for me to see pc's changing and evolving as the game keeps going and sometime's a players greed(unwillingness to give up a high stat or good item is enough to keep them from playing the next "template": they read about.</blockquote>
