In fact, I think it's kind of ironic that you're pointing out Nikolai's inability to physically defend himself when I'm the only one that has pointed out our whole group's inability to defend themselves.I thought we weren't concentrating on the realisticness of our characters?If so, than there are many problems with believability - I THOUGHT the group concensus was to concentrate on story, and character interaction.But his concept is someone who USED to be physical, and has now supplanted that with a purely knowledge-based power source - outwitting (see his Wits, etc) the opponent and manipulating them into blunting their attack, not taking it head-on.</blockquote>
