[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8653496, member: 6779196"] Edwards’ explanation doesn’t tell me anything about what a kicker is, except that it’s player-authored; maybe if I knew what a bang was it would be more meaningful? [I]Your[/I] explanation was much more helpful, but it still sounds to me pretty much like a character motivation.
