Isn't this just as destructive to the table dynamic?I say if making Uber killers is your thing, and you have fun, thats one thing, but make sure the entire table is cool with it too, that way you don't have a "Teen Wolf" situation on your hands.  If they are cool with it, then drive it til the walls fall off...if the table thinks it sucks you kill everything, either nerf up or find a new table....right?</blockquote>
